"If you don't, Mama will die," she said under her breath. "She'll die," she said louder, and stared crying.

She felt Kapa's hand on her shoulder and looked up.

"What is it, Lana?" he asked. "What-" He broke off. After a moment Lana realized that he must have seen her necklace.

"Where did you..." He almost sounded scared.

Lana stared at his feet, tears still streaming from her eyes. "My first dive ... I found two jewels. The blue one ... and this." After a moment she dared look at his face and nearly recoiled from the horror there.

"A dying mandagah?"

She nodded.

"Why didn't you ever tell us? All this time, you were marked ..."

He sat down next to her and Lana swallowed. "Papa ... I'm going to try to save Mama. Whatever happens, don't speak or move."

She waited for his nod and then turned to Leilani.

The twin jewels of a dying spirit's last gift-I call the power of the bond.

She felt the sacrificial force flood the room and she allowed it to continue until she found it difficult to breathe and the air seemed permeated by a bright haze. It felt different than the power Akua had called in the death temple, though-stronger, and yet more tainted. Suddenly, as though she were back inside the column of air, she saw a thousand faces of death laughing at her. She had fleeting, terrifying glimpses of people dying all around her-and through it all she felt, insistently, the subtle yet horrible tie to Pua's life force. Lana's hands were trembling and she could barely push her voice past her throat, but she forced herself to recite the geas. She had called the power-there could be no turning back.
