As she gazed down at the tiny, premature daughter dwarfed by the white nappy in which she was wrapped - the child she had delivered just an hour before - all she could see was a pained, purple face and one bruised and swollen arm.
Today Grace Rehua, Janette's daughter, is a happy, healthy teenager living in Perth, Australia with her parents "Oh, she's into playing her electric guitar very loudly, wearing mismatched clothes a typical teenager," laughs her mother.

 The Maori Law Review - October 1999
The Ngäti Rehua proposition, that the incident demonstrated that Marutuahu were merely frequent visitors to Aotea, raised more questions than it answered.
However, it was accepted by all parties that some Ngäti Rehua remained there on a reservation, and consequently Ngäti Rehua had continuous occupation and held the traditional knowledge of the island.
The court could formally determine the relative interests, but the practice of tikanga and expression of whänaungatanga from that point on was a matter for the rangatiratanga of the parties.

After the bottom half of Africa became part of his Empire, he bided his time in gaining the Nile and went for the Saharan desert instead; the Nile, at that time, was colonized by a more powerful wizard from the Middle East.
Rehua and his army met their death in the Sahara, and his empire collapsed.
His legend had turned into a myth, when a milliennia later, a tribe in the Congo turned him into a deity: the god that gave life to all mortal men, which is how he holds his place in the spell.

Obviously, I will need any and all information you have on ‘Rehua;’ it is not a name I have come across in the past, and any background you can contribute would be appreciated.
I hope that any information you might have on ‘Rehua’ would point to a solution to this problem, as the seed could be construed as an ‘ancestor’ to the potion and therefore might prove useful.
Unless such a ‘seed’ can be found, however, I fear the entire issue may become merely academic, for no practical way of reconstituting the mixture readily asserts itself.
