Pataki Obba:

Obba's father told him it was time to choose her husband, and had to take with your life, for his teachings had been productive and that he wanted to see her happy. Shango and she knew, and came upon an attraction, a magnificent love and deep. Although he lived with Oya, a woman of strong personality much like his, Shango knew the attributes, benefits and qualities that would make their marriage would Obba their own even more powerful a kingdom.

At first, their marriage was happy. Shango left his adventures with Oya and devoted himself entirely to Obba. In his palace breathed goodness and tranquility. Obba every morning down the river to meet her sister Oshun, and both had their little secrets, while bathing in the sweet and crystal clear waters, with little colored and the Chinese bald. At times, they were like veiled appearances in the rainbow waterfalls.

Oya, from afar, saw them and could not hold envy, because that woman so beautiful and, by extension, his sister had done what she had never met with her charms and sorcery: to marry Shango. Long pondered how to win back the love of Shango, who with his memories would not let her alone. And lying under a jagüey millennium, the dream was prophetic of revenge. In spirit, he went to the abode of Iku and eggun, and in the desert cemetery, where the wind was whistling the tops of the trees and hear the shrill chirping of the birds of prey, found the solution to regain Oya lost love and rested for the first time in many days.

The next morning, went to meet her sisters in the river, talked and had fun with them, and won the confidence of Obba, so naive and sweet. However, Oshun deceived, who, suspicious, warned her sister about the strange behavior of Oya, but Obba not listened. Often, Oya Obba gave recipes for favorite foods that she Shango, diligently cooking for her husband. Until one day, when all he had was Obba cornmeal. Oya said, "Do not worry, you're going to resolve as I did once. You cut off the ear, prepare it with corn and seasoned with all kinds of herbs." That day, Oya was wearing a scarf that covered nine colors ears. A Obba, it seemed very strange, but in his eagerness to please her man, he quickly cut off the ear, and she prepared a delicious broth with corn. When she went to Oya Shango became a spark. In his happiness without limits, destroyed with fire from the woods.

Shango Arriving at the palace, found the table beautifully served, with plenty of blood-red flowers. He hugged his wife and asked what food was, because he had a terribly hungry. Obba served him his favorite dish, which he ate with gusto, even while noting his wife, who was different. Obba Realizing that wearing a headscarf, which never used, because he loved her braids Shango long, silky hair, asked her to take it away. Seeing her without an ear, shook with rage, because he is perfect in its beauty, would not allow his side to an imperfect woman. Obba then realized the deception of Oya. Shango, breathing fire from his eyes, hugged her one last time, and told her to be his only true wife, but would have more relationships, while respected for their sacrifice and always will be the first among all.

Obba, embarrassed, but queen of queens, Obbatala visited his father and, as he walked to his palace, his tears flowed uncontrollably, leaving in its trail a river which was destroying everything in its path, the rocks and trees threw himself . The dams, the ceiba trees, palms and arched acana to greet the tears shed by the broken heart of Obba.

Therefore granted him asking for his daughter: "I want to go where nobody can see me. I want the peace of the non-existent, I want to live with the dead, with spirits, with whom I can do no harm. The cemetery will, from now henceforth, my ile (house). "

Again thanked his father and went to say goodbye to her sister Oshun, who received the troubled waters in a tributary of the tears of Obba. The two sisters joined more than ever, formed a large eddy in which Obba moved from the world of the living to the world of the dead, and left Oshun, who henceforth would be the only one that could communicate with her in charge about their business in the land of the Orishas.
