König Feurio

"König Feurio" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Cody Goodfellow.
==Synopsis==
During the Second World War, the crew of a crippled German U-boat are picked up by a commerce raider believed to have been lost in the Great War. Aboard, they find a crew composed of human/Deep One hybrids - including one colossal specimen which acts as the ship's engine - and are slowly seduced by the creatures.
The U-boat crew's leader, having managed to break himself from the temptations of their captors, is eventually able to destroy the ship, although by this point it has reached its destination: Devil Reef off the coast of Innsmouth.
The story concludes with the Oberleutnant, the sole human survivor of the ship's destruction, moving to the middle of the Arizona desert, convinced that one day his former rescuers will come to reunite him with his inhuman offspring.
