Eutostea, the third princess of Thebes, is visited by the mysterious guest calling himself the God Apollo in bed. In pitch-black darkness, only an outline of him said, “I have come to share a one-night love with you. Once the night passes, you will not remember me, nor shall we meet ever again.” Soon, the three princesses band together to reveal his face while he is sleeping. But the candlewax melts off the tip of the candle in Eutostea’s hand and falls on the god’s shoulder. Apollo wakes, grabs the second princess, declaring, “Princess of Thebes, admire to your heart’s content. ‘Tis the face of the mere shell you sought so dearly.”

Eutostea woke up in her dream. She was at the ruined palace of Thebes where she met her dead father. Why did she come back here? She glanced around the space with a look of confusion and then got up from the cold floor. 


It seemed very unrealistic as if she was standing in the middle of a snowstorm. Her eardrums felt numb and she couldn’t hear any noise. Not even a rat passed the space; it was silent. 


Eutostea made up her mind that she would wander around the ruined site, which was assumed to be the corridor, until she woke up from this dream. But even after some time, she wasn’t awake from the dream. 


Even her heart seemed to freeze from the cold air of the floor touching her bare feet. If she stayed here longer, she would turn into an ice sculpture. Therefore, she thought instinctively that she should move in search of a warm place. 


Eutostea then found clear and small footprints on the floor as if beckoning her to come.
