Being the Goddess of death and the ruler of the underworld Hinenuitepo lives in the underworld waiting for the souls of the mortal ones in the real world to arrive. When she went into the darkness Hinenuitepo took the imortal side of life with her. In some versions of this myth it is said that Maui tried to follow Hinenuiepo and take the immortal powers back but the laugh of a fantail woke her.
