Kio Rahi
From their home, at the volcano, the Patupaiarehe noticed Rahi resting and decided to chant a final spell to stop him from reaching them. This time they created a giant lizard and demanded it to attack Rahi. The lizard came to where Rahi rested and tried to attack him, however, that same mauri that was helping to replenish Rahi’s energy was also acting like a forcefield and the lizard could not get to Rahi. So the lizard, stuck outside the mauri decided to dig a trench all the way around the mauri to trap Rahi. As the lizard dug the trench it pulled large boulders up and threw them at Rahi to hurt him that way however, Rahi had his energy back now and managed to evade most of the rocks. A few times Rahi was a bit slow in getting out of the way, so Namu came to the rescue by using her wings to block the rocks, this damaged Namu’s wings and soon she could not fly. Once the lizard had thrown the last boulder it uncovered a spring (where water comes from the ground) this spring began to fill the trench up and so now Rahi was trapped on an island encircled by water. Rahi could easily have swum across however, the lizard was smart and turned into a Taniwha named Utumai.
