127. Mastering the Law of Wrath

With his snail shell, the unbreakable chains of gold and the poultry fowl, Obatala was set to get about his assignment.

He chose the best spot available that he could find, using it to descend down to Earth. Of course, he still had his horn of palmwine with hm, caught up in the ecstasy of duty.

Once he had gone down, he pulled the chain taut and then proceeded to slip down the rest of the chains to Earth. He had the shell and the fowl under his armpit while he used the other free hand to hold onto the chain. His lips being the nearer of the horn, aided by the tight clamping of his dentition on the lid. 

And then he got to Earth, setting about his duty. 

Dutifully note that at that time, all about the Earth was full of Water. Hardly was one spot for him to land. It was at this juncture that he reportedly took out the snail shell and then poured out the sand content to a spot on the waters. 

Having down that, he set the fowl loose.
