| | Kamehameha - The Young WarriorWritten by Gayle Olson
As Kamehameha reached manhood events unfolded which would further direct him towards his destiny of greatness. King Alapai died and was succeeded by king's son Keaweaopala. The new ruler was not suited for role. His subjects neither respected nor were loyal to Keaweaopala and they rebelled against him. The rebellion first began in Ka'u, where High Chief Kalaniopuu led opposing forces. Keaweaopala was killed at Kealakekua Bay following a two-day battle. Kalaniopuu was proclaimed king of Ka'u and Kona.Kamehameha was introduced to battle during brief war. At side of Kalaniopuu he made use of wisdom of warfare taught to him by Kekuhaupio. When new king was established with his court in Kona, Kamehameha was named his aide, which is an esteemed position within court. King Kahekili of Maui sent to court at Kailua his younger half-brothers, twins, Kame'eiamoku and Kamanawa, with instructions that they stay by side of Kamehameha, protecting and guiding him. Could this confirm that King Kahekili believed that Kamehameha was indeed his son? It surely suggests so.
