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.”

And that was when Archimo saw her. One of the female humans the snake pushed into its stomach survived. How could it be possible? The snake was confident about the fatal venom it had. It was a mystery that she barely managed to remain alive and not die immediately in its intestines. Moreover, while the snake was skipping meals due to suffering from abdominal pain, the human endured with patience by keeping up with some drink. She even fed it to a male human who was in a life-and-death situation. 


The snake slightly opened its mouth and flicked its long tongue. A suspicious smell came from her hand. It was an ominous but seductive scent. 


The snake widened its mouth. The scales on its jaw stretched out till the surface looked white. Wet venom drops didn’t form on the uneven and split, cave-like, inside wall of the mouth. Because it hadn’t eaten anything. Archimo cried sadly. Its stomach and head hurt so bad. The monster wondered if it was dying this way.
