Surrounding this tree is a moat of blue fire, this fire does no damage to a creature the comes into contact with it. The top of the layer is covered in rail like structures that the A'Ōlelo Maikaʻi climbs about to move. The lair is hexogenal in shape, 550x550 ft, and the walls resemble Giant's causeway in Northern Ireland. The tops of these hexagonal pieces are red with heat. The A'Ōlelo Maikaʻi rests colt on the rails above the willow tree.
