…like Pili in his bitter old age, he too had voluntarily jumped up, as it were, into a living death, into the living darkness of Pouliuli. In conclusion things could have gone smooth sailing for Faleasa if he had noticed that Pili’s saga were similar to what he was going through and could have changed the outcome but instead followed the same steps as Pili into the darkness of Pouliuli.

As each tasks is completed the next task gets much tougher. Pili wants to be restored into a human while Faleasa wants to live the remaining years of his life free from the duties he had as a leader. Still, if Faleasa knew the outcome of Pili’s saga ended tragically why didn’t he do anything to change the outcome of his story? Could the reason why Faleasa didn’t change the final outcome of his plan be because he thought that myths were just myths and could not be possibly true? Was he so sure that his plan would work that he didn’t realize that his plan was exactly like Pili’s? Was he trying to shatter that myth by proving that he could obtain the freedom he so desired? Those questions will not likely be answered for only Faleasa knows the answer. (29)
