Chrysomya was the Maggot King of Tarf
and ruled the best corpse on the forested river bluff.
He had defeated his enemy Phaenicia
at the Battle of Tarf-Thorax.
That made Chrysomya the ruler of his mass,
and the larval mass at Perineum too!
Then the King was forced to pupate,
and later there was eclosion.
And when the Maggot King of Tarf
emerged from his amber-colored puparium,
he was still Chrysomya, but no longer larval.
Chrysomya was Maggot King no more.
He was just a God-damned fly!
