Panic at the Temple!

It was our second temple. We started climbing up the stairs. They were steep. Very steep. About half way up I started to feel dizzy. I knew I couldn't go on. I told Damon to go on without me. I sat on a large stone stair and watched him go on alone. He made it to the top. I watched him walk through the door. As I was watching, a moving vine came from the top of the doorway. It was a snake! Damon screamed like a little bitch and by this time I was having a mild panic attack! The poor snake must have got the shock of its life as it slithered down the stairs so fast! I thought it was coming my way and I freaked out all together! Luckily it slid into a crevice in the rocks opposite me! Damon came down relatively quickly, meanwhile I'm making my way down, breathing hard, sobbing and clinging to the side! It took us a while to calm down after.
In my state, I did notice that the snake was quite pretty. He was green.
