I have some VERY excellent news. I also have some bad news, but I will tell you the VERY excellent news first. Okay, so, yes, it is very difficult for humans to travel to the Otherside, I would know. However, I do luckily know how to not only get to the Otherside but also how to get to the Necropolis! I know, I know, I am simply a very special ordinary human boy. It is actually not that difficult to get to the Necropolis, you see…
The first and easiest step is to go to Mayda. Mayda is the most wonderful plane in all of the Otherside and, for me, it is effortless to get to. Now, of course, there is a slight chance that Levithan sees that you left the Mayda IF YOU DID LEAVE THE MAYDA IN THE FIRST PLACE, which I did not, I am, in fact, from the Flipside, so this was not a concern for me. But, okay, so if Levithan sees that you left the Mayda, he might throw you in the Coral Garden for being naughty because you aren’t supposed to leave Mayda without his permission. If he is REALLY mad at you, he will probably throw you into the BLACK TIDE. Which is very, VERY, scary as you cannot escape it! But that is again, only if you are from Mayda and have left Mayda and have come back through Mayda… and if you are caught.
Assuming you get past Levithan’s Horrors, it is very, VERY simple to get to the Amaymon, which is the plane where the Necropolis is. You simply have to swim down! Yes! Mayda is an infinite ocean though at the bottom is the Amaymon. You might be thinking, well, that is not very infinite then, is it? It simply is, and it isn’t! You have to know which way to swim but if you swim the right way you will end up in the Amaymon without any problems! Many Maydaian demons and cryptids end up in the Amaymon by accident even. So yes, I am currently in the Necropolis.
Oh yes, of course, the bad news. So, you see… Well, I have become quite lost, as it were. Yes, while it is easy to get to the Necropolis, it is very hard to actually get to the Necropolis Spire because of Daedalus’ Labyrinth. HOWEVER! This is not even my first time in this Labyrinth, and so I believe I will be able to find my way out of here very, VERY easily. So, it is not really so much “bad news” as it is simply news.
