IT IS SAID THAT "PAPATUANUKU" AND "RANGI "LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH THAT THEY PREVENTED LIGHT FROM REACHING THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THEIR CLOSE EMBRACE, AND, AS A RESULT, THEIR OFFSPRING LIVED IN A WORLD OF ETERNAL DARKNESS AND IGNORANCE BETWEEN THE BODIES OF THEIR PARENTS. THE CHILDREN FINALLY DECIDED THAT THEIR PARENTS HAD TO BE SEPARATED TO LET LIGHT INTO THE WORLD SO THEY ABOUT THEIR TASK. TAWHIRI MATEA", THE GOD OF WINDS AND STORMS WAS THE ONLY CHILD WHO DID NOT WISH FOR HIS PARENTS TO BE SEPARATED BECAUSE HE FEARED THAT HIS KINGDOM WOULD BE OVERTHROWN.
IT WAS "TANE", THE GOD OF MAN AND FORESTS, WHO RENDERED THEM APART BY RESTING HIS SHOULDERS UPON "PAPATUANUKU" AND THRUSTING HIS LEGS UPWARDS AND PUSHING "RANGINUI "TO THE SKY, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. "TAWHIRI MATEA", WHO HAD BEEN AGAINST THE SEPARATION OF HIS PARENTS, LEFT FOR THE SKY TO JOIN HIS FATHER, AND IT IS SAID THAT THE TURBULENT WINDS AND STORMS WE EXPERIENCE HERE ON EARTH ARE CAUSED BY "TAWHIRI MATEA "IN REVENGE FOR HIS BROTHER'S ACTS.
