    About this ebook

    Woven throughout this entire literary piece are the stories of characters forgotten from the original novella, The Symbiot. Written as three separate pieces, following 6 story lines set in 3 different ages, Necropolis is intricate storytelling!
    The first piece tells the story of the fall and demise of the ancient Egyptian man-god, Pharaoh Nyarlathotep.
    The second brings us back to the characters we left in the previous book, ten years later. The promises hinted at in TheHunt: Symbiosys, do not disappoint and come to fruition in Necropolis, with full blown Lovecraftian-mythos monsters!
    It's Modern Tech versus forgotten aeons-old evil, with a reminiscent flavouring similar to Grandma Death's fictitious book (Donnie Darko, 2001)!
    It has been a decade since The Hunt and the Gibbons' children are humanity's last hope!
    The conclusion of The Symbiot Series spans three millennia - from Pharaoh Nyarlathotep's genesis and demise, to the discovery of the derelict Japanese Destroyer, the Yamayuki, to the world shattering rising of R'lyeh!
    The world is at its end!
    R'lyeh has risen!
    Cthulhu's high priest has awoken!
    Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!"

      Chapter I: Mutiny & Betrayal

      The Eye of Osiris

      The Red Sea, Egypt,

      circa 1242 BCE

      Even for a Nubian, Pharaoh Nyarlathotep was dark skinned, near the colour of pitch - the whites of his eyes and his sharpened teeth shone forth like beacons of light! The gold he wore on his wrists, ankles, neck, and headpiece seemingly shone brighter still contrasted to his ebony skin. His hands held out by his sides, palms down – mimicking a pushing or holding motion.

      You have sided with the slaves? Pharaoh's voice boomed in Egyptian, as he stood atop the hill.

      I have sided with Life! Moshe shouted back in Hebrew. He had the low ground. He stood in the dried bed of the sea, attempting to buy his fleeing people more time. He leaned upon his staff, slouched. His face and eyes concealed beneath his hood. They were nearly through the portal.

      You speak the language of the slaves now?! Pharaoh asked incredulously. Is that your great ambition, to become one? he spat the final words out, sardonically.

      No more than you have father, Moshe mumbled through clenched teeth. Then, out loud, You will not, you cannot release Cthulhu!

      Do not tell me you have not heard the call. Do not tell me you have not dreamed of the priest Krulgh! Do not tell me He hasn't whispered to you! the Black Pharaoh shouted to his son! You know it cannot be stopped! You know it is inevitable! You know it is unavoidable!

      Moshe removed his hood. The sunlight caused the green and golden flecks in his hazel eyes to sparkle as he spoke in clear fluent Egyptian for the Pharaoh's men to hear.

      The Reign of Pharaoh Nyarlathotep has come to an end. The name of Nefren-Kha will be struck and erased from the pages of history. You will simply disappear! Moshe stood straighter still. He raised his staff above his head with a upward pushing motion; his eyes glowing golden.

      The dried seabed turned to mud. Moshe's feet were submerged in seconds.

      Pharaoh raged and screamed and shouted! His eyes flared with alien magic as he attempted to counter the Hebrew's spell... but still the water rose!

      It gushed. It exploded. Across the horizon a tidal wave was visible racing towards them. Moshe levitated off the ground, his eyes blinding beacons of light now. He spoke in High Egyptian to the Pharaoh's men and soldiers.

      Now is your time! Reclaim your freedom! End the slaughter and debauchery! Moshe's voice became like thunder, Crush Pharaoh Nyarlathotep! The screaming crescendo coincided with the arrival of the tidal wave. The entire desert environment exploded with water!

      Strange alien energies coursed through Pharaoh Nyarlathotep's body. It spilt out of his hands and glowed green in his eyes. Pushing his alien reserves to their limit, he attempted to hold back and push down the raging waters! But these weren't natural waters! They were artificially driven and forced by the Symbiot-hybrid, Moshe.

      The waters cleaved, split by Pharaoh's powers and roared and screamed past him, but he could not stop them!

      Pharaoh bellowed his denial and frustration as the last of his energy became depleted. The water engulfed him and carried him away.
