Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Page #3

Synopsis: A member of a rich British aristocratic family, Lara Croft is a "tomb raider" who enjoys collecting ancient artifacts from ruins of temples, cities, etc. worldwide, and doesn't mind going through death-defying dangers to get them. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, and foreign languages - and does them all in tight outfits. Well, the planets of the solar system are going into planetary alignment (Which occurs every 5,000 years), and a secret society called the Illuminati is seeking an ancient talisman that gives its possessor the ability to control time. However, they need a certain clock/key to help them in their search, and they have to find the talisman in one week or wait until the next planetary alignment to find it again. Lara happens to find that key hidden in a wall of her mansion. The Illuminati steal it, and Lara gets an old letter from her deceased father telling her about the society's agenda (Her father was also the one who hid the key). Now, she must

- That's fine.

Hello?

What the hell happened here?

- Good morning.

- Lady Lara Croft?

Yes.

You have something for me?

I woke up this morning

and I just hated everything.

Right. Thanks.

Who is Stribling, Clive

and Winterset?

- Sounds like a bunch of lawyers.

- The are a bunch of lawyers.

- Oh. Well, I'll shut my face again.

- You are nosey.

I'm not nosey. I saw it was a funny name.

I just asked what the name was.

- Lara?

- It's from my father.

It was written before he died and

delivered today as per his instructions.

- Blimey.

- Holy shh...

"To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower

"Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour"

William Blake.

The All-Seeing Eye.

"My darling daughter,

I knew you would figure this out.

"If you're reading this letter,

I'm no longer with you

"and I miss you and love you

always and forever.

"It also means I have failed

"and must place an awful burden

on your shoulders.

"Lara, by now I'm sure you will have

discovered the clock I concealed.

"The clock is the key, Lara.

"It will unlock the hiding place

of two pieces of a sacred icon.

"This is the magical triangle

I told you about when you were little -

"The Triangle Of Light.

But it is no bedtime story.

"It was forged from metal

found in the crater of a meteor

"that had fallen to earth

at the exact moment

"of the previous alignment

of the nine planets.

"The People of the Light

built a great city in this crater

"where they worshiped the triangle

for its ability to control time.

"It gave its possessor a power

that could be used for good or great evil.

"Their abuse of this power

led to the destruction of the city.

"To be sure no man

would ever again wield this power,

"the triangle was split into two pieces

and hid at opposite ends of the earth.

"Lara, do you remember

the jasmine

"that only grows in one temple

on the ancient Khmer trail in Cambodia?

"That is the entrance

to the Tomb Of The Dancing Light,

"where the first half of the triangle

is hidden.

"You must be there at the exact moment

"of the second phase

of the planetary alignment.

"You must hurry, you have very little time.

"As the planets move into alignment,

the world will be in great danger,

"from the secret society

known as the Illuminati -

"devious dangerous men

"who seek to fulfil an ancient prophecy

by reuniting the two halves

"and attaining the triangle's awesome

and terrible powers.

"This you must prevent at all costs.

"So, Lara, I am asking you

to complete my work.

"To find and destroy

both halves of the triangle.

How are you gonna get to Cambodia

and get the clock back in... 15 hours?
