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.”

As the curse surrounding the kyneê exploded, Ares's eyes were so badly damaged that he was on the verge of losing his vision. Hades generously used a potent healing cure to care for his nephew until he regained consciousness.


Ares woke up on the seventh day. He couldn't see anything due to the thick bandage covering his eyes to protect them. He fumbled around with his hands in front of him. His hands were wrapped in bandages too.


The wounds caused by splinters of wood had healed quickly as they were nothing serious compared to his eyes, but the bandages remained because he kept tightly clenching his fist as if trying to grab something, causing the wounds to reopen even while unconscious.


Ares turned his head toward the sound of Hades' voice. His movement appeared sluggish, like a rusty hinge.


"It will take about three more days for your eyes to heal."
