The sea was wild, and the winds fierce, but they believed that the island was waiting for them. It was said that the sea itself chose who could live on these sh

"Quel, can you take me to the cliff?" "What cliff? Are you planning to jump and kill yourself?" I snorted. "Nope, I just wanna breath the fresh air.

A kelpie was a water horse, notorious for devouring humans and spitting their entrails back up on the shores of bodies of water. There was a creeping feeling that much of the folklore I had learned growing up might have had some merit.

When the Elders were done, the Oracle came and fortified them with spiritual powers and gave them some instructions and elements to us when confronted with certain kinds of creatures, mermaids, and evil spirits and warned them on the ‘Dos and Don’ts’ of certain lands they’ll be crossing on their way to the forbidden forest.

I almost fell down as I tried to keep with her. I swear I do not know which was about to give in.

The first whole week was our busiest. We ventured out throughout the island, sightseeing, visiting the Oahu Circle Island in Waikiki, the Pearl Harbor memorial, and the Dole plantation, where they have the tastiest Dole ice cream. Other activities on the list were going to the Kualoa Ranch with a two-hour submarine tour of Atlantis, an ATV ride for a Raptor Tour where Jurassic Park was filmed, and we did parasailing. Then yesterday, we all had dinner at Chief's Luau, where food and a Hula show were presented. I've seen Luaus, but nothing like this.
