"Soon enough, Pele discovers the lovers, and in a fit of vengeance, destroys all things beloved by Hi'iaka: she kills Lohi'au and burns her sister's 'ohi'a groves to the ground. Faced with this profound betrayal, Hi'iaka undergoes a painful loss of innocence. Yet, it is this very loss which ultimately frees the goddess to stand up and face Pele in battle. The epic struggle of Pele and Hi'iaka is played out to this day in the ongoing tension and balance of natural forces. After each eruption, lava flows destroy what life lies in their paths, but before long, they become beds for 'ohi'a seedlings. In the Hawaiian cosmology, Pele and Hi'iaka comprise the eternal cycle of destruction and renewal that drives creation." http://www.pbs.org/holomaipele/story.html
