King Kalaniʻōpuʻu is dead.

- Honor to the new king! - Honor to the new king!

Word has come from Hawaiʻi's Kingdom.

King Kalaniʻōpuʻu is dead.

His son Keōua now rules the kingdom.

Kalaniʻōpuʻu was a great king.

His bones were to be the ultimate prize for my altars.

Call the war generals.

We prepare to conquer Hawaiʻi's Kingdom.

May I speak, great King?

Soon we will have taken the last stronghold of Oʻahu.

We support you in your campaign to unite these islands,

but...

this does not feel like prophecy.

You are erasing the royal bloodlines of this kingdom.

That does not feel like unification.

People are only loyal...

to the lineage of their kingdoms.

As long as those bloodlines exist,

there will never be Maui.

We must set one bloodline

for all the kingdoms.

My blood.

Only then will we be truly unified as the Prophecy says.

Your king has spoken.

Now go!

I brought ōʻio.

You do not eat.

Thank you, Nāmake.

Every time I feel weak, I ask the gods for strength, and they send you.

It is I who is weak...

and have looked to you for strength.

I will bring you some more fish tonight.

Nāmake acts as if Kaʻiana is not coming back.

- Your sister too. - He is gone, Nāhi.

You don't know that.

No one does.

What will happen when he returns?

We will share in the joy together.

But...

we must prepare for a life without him.

Nāmake loves Kūpuohi.

Always has.

- The price is the same... - No.

To the six districts of this kingdom:

Kalaniʻōpuʻu, greatest among us,

has stated his wishes to his council and High Priests before he passed.

The one to hold the power of government,

and oversee political matters,

pertaining to the six districts of this kingdom,

is his own son,

King Keōua!

The government duties

should be mine.

So,

what of the God of War?

To the possession and power of the King's God of War,

Kūkāʻilimoku,

he bestows that spiritual strength,

and all responsibilities of warfare...

on his nephew, Kamehameha.

Come forward.

What is this?

You steal the War God from me.

Kamehameha steals nothing.

He is stealing my birthright.

There is no need for this.

I stand with you, Brother.

We are not brothers.

You are the bastard son of Apoiwa,

raised in my father's court.

You are no king.

The War God is mine,

and the kingdom of my father belongs to me.

Your father was more than my uncle.

He was my king.

I must honor him

and protect his god of worship.

I am your king now.

You promised my father...

that you would follow me.

I'm sorry, Keōua.

But the God of War stays with me.

Well, then.

Why don't we spare our men...

Hmm?

...and settle this

now?

Kamehameha is a liar!

A liar!

My King!

The district Chiefs will honor your father's wishes.

If you do not,

they may turn against you.

You support my lowborn cousin with the God of War?

With my life.

Then pray to the God of War for mercy.

Because war has never been Kamehameha's worship,

but... it has always been mine.

My time of mourning has ended...

but yours has only just begun.

Keōua will gather the support of his districts.

We must strike first.

My uncle did not leave me his kingdom.

He gave you the God of War

over his own son.

Even the Great King saw the promise in you.

I know you didn't choose this, Kamehameha.

And I am sorry.

But the gods have prepared a great responsibility for you.

And unfortunately,

it will come with grief and great loss.

But I promise

you will not face it alone.

If I am to tear this kingdom apart, then I am alone.

You've said enough.

No, he didn't.

If you are troubled, my Chief, you can talk to me.

I am not your Royal Council, Kamehameha.

But a man who won't speak his true thoughts

will soon be a broken one.

I did not move this stone.

But many saw you do it.

The ground moved under my feet,

like the earthquake.

It took the weight of Naha stone

and I flipped her over.

But it wasn't me.

As much as I try,

I can't lift it again.

The gods have gone silent.

My advisors want war

but this war will only bring death to this kingdom.

The War God's purpose is to bring balance,

not death.

You are its keeper.

Trust your uncle,

and consult the god of his worship.

What if the gods remain silent?

Then trust you can make the right decision for this kingdom

until the gods

speak again.

We will not attack Keōua.

But we will prepare to defend this land for battle.

If Keōua wars against me, we will defeat him.

But the War God is silent, my Chief.

That is why the decision is mine.

I was looking for you!

I brought you more fish.

Heke said you were to help her today.

What is wrong?

We lost Kaʻiana.

Without your help, I do not think I could've found the strength.

I don't believe that.

You are a fighter.

Stronger than any of us.

That is why Kaʻiana was drawn to you.

The hawksbill turtle is a guardian for my family,

has been since the days of my great-grandfather.

Despite the loss we feel,

I knew I was being watched over by my guardians.

You have been a guardian as well all this time...

so I want you to have a piece of me.

I know how you have mourned him.

I have too.

But I have seen happiness in your eyes again. With me.

We must live, Kūpuohi.

It would dishonor the sacrifice he made for us if we do not.

This is all I can offer you, Nāmake.
