Hey guys I finally finished, tell me what you think;

There was one being; stronger and wiser than all the rest. He was a special being who was part of the great tribe on the island. The other beings feared him, even the ones in the sky and in the sea, even though he dwelled on the island. Ikaika was the name that made the others tremble.
In the darkest part of the night, Ikaika wandered the island searching for meaning. One night he came upon a giant golden palm tree. Ikaika circled the tree inspecting its every groove and crevasse. He lifted his axe and with one swing, cut the tree down. He dragged the tree back to his hut and began carving away at it.
The first thing he created was a sturdy table so he may eat upon it. The next was a box to put his treasure inside. Both of these items used much wood and only a small portion remained. Ikaika was overcome with thirst from the night’s work, so his last item was to be a mug.
It took 8 long days and 8 long nights to create this mug. Ikaika was impressed with the beauty and awe of his mug so he called it Tiki which reminded him of his own name. He then poured coconut juice from the coconuts on the tree into his mug, but before he could take a gigantic gulp the mug started to glow with color and out from the drink came one small green being with an oddly shaped face and body. Even The powerful Ikaika was astonished by this action. The green being bowed and said, “I am here to serve you great one, but I am nothing without my brothers and sisters.” So Ikaika poured more juice into Tiki and out came more green beings. With the people of the Tiki, Ikaika continued to grow strong, teaching them all he knew so that when the time may come they can rule the island, but for the time being...The other beings feared him, even the ones in the sky and in the sea, even though he dwelled on the island. Ikaika was the name that made the others tremble.
