The strange men put Kamiah in a room with three of her fellow village girls in it. Their hands and ankles were bound too. The men walked out of the room and Kamiah and the other girls sat in the room for a few minutes. Eventually, a man who looked like he might be the leader walked in. Kamiah looked at him. He looked menacing and not at all friendly. She studied him for a couple seconds until Kamiah saw the man look over each of the girls. Kamiah looked at them too. She noticed they were also wearing rings, though they were completely different than her's. Kamiah wondered if it was a coincidence all of them that got captured were wearing rings. The man looked at each of their hands. Then he spoke in a deep voice. Two other men came in. The leader guy looked at the other two guys. He pointed at Kamiah. "She is the one. She has the markings on her ring we have been looking for. Take the other three away." Kamiah's heart leapt with panic. She didn't dare speak but she wondered what they meant by 'the markings on her ring'.

She watched helplessly as the other girls were taken out. Kamiah wondered what would happen to them. Hopefully nothing bad.. While the other two men left, the leader looked at Kamiah with an evil looking grin on his face. "So.. You are the girl we have been searching for 14 years. Finally.. At last…" Kamiah was confused. She had no idea what he was talking about. Why were they looking… For.. Her? Afterall, she was nobody special. She wasn't related to the chief at all. She was just another islander…

The man kept giving his evil smile. "My name is Ahohako."

He paused as if he was giving time for Kamiah to remember something. Then Kamiah widened her eyes as she remembered. Her mother always told her all their culture's myths and legends, and Kamiah swore she heard the name Ahohako in one of those legends. It was a minute before she remembered exactly where she heard the name. Then she remembered. The name came from a legend of a vile pirate named Ahohako, who had an equally vile crew. They were dangerous pirates who showed no mercy when they stole treasure off other boats and ships. If anyone dared to get in their way… They would live no longer. And Ahohako in particular had a power that made him worse than any of the other pirates that roamed the seas. He had a magical tiki staff that allowed him to create and control fire when he possessed the tiki staff…

Kamiah knew this was bad. No one knew how he got ahold of the staff but Kamiah was sure the gods wouldn't have given it to him willingly. No doubt he stole it, but from who? No one knew for sure…. All Kamiah knew was that it made him even more dangerous. If he didn't feel like killing his enemies with his machete, he would burn them with the fire from the tiki staff.

Ahohako chuckled. "Yes.. You and your people have heard of me." He grinned evilly again. Kamiah's eyes opened wide and she tried to move as far away from him as she could with her hands and ankles tied. Her mouth wasn't bound so she could talk. "W-why do you want me? W-what do I have you want?"

He laughed. "Your ring of course!"

Kamiah looked at him, utterly confused again. "But why?"

He stared her in the eye. "You know exactly why."

Kamiah shook her head but then something in her mind triggered a memory. And old memory...
