Scarabus - Ink Version

Scarabus was a powerful priest in Ancient Egypt who secretly practiced necromancy and other arts of dark magic. One day, he considered his powers to be so great that he challenge death himself: Anubis. Unfortunately, he lost to the challenge and was transformed into a hideous, insectoid monster. Thus, he became the dark sorceror of Egypt, Scarabus.

Despite the transformation, it didn't stop him from mastering his necromancy. Over time, he was able to raise himself a nearly unstoppable army of the undead, and he prepared his seige on Egypt so as to rule as Pharoah, then the world, and finally, the Underworld to exact his revenge on the Gods, including Anubis. Although he was nearly successful, the Pharoah was able to stop Scarabus with the help from the gods by imprisoning the evil necromancer in a black amulet; thus sealing off his dark magic and destroying his army.

Thousands of years have passed, and the stories of Scarabus have became lost in the sands of time. But will Scarabus be able to break free from ancient imprisonment? And if so, will there be anyone stop him from his new reign of terror? Only time will tell...
