When
Lara Croft
was just nine years old, the plane carrying her and her mother
crashed into the Himalayas
leaving them as the only survivors. After taking shelter in the
ruins of an ancient temple, Lara discovers an ornate stone dais
holding a sword. Unwittingly activating the ancient artefact,
Lara watches in horror as her mother vanishes in front of her
eyes.
Years later, Lara travels to the
ancient civilization of
Tiwanaku
in Bolivia, searching for a similar stone dais. However she is
not alone as she soon runs into James Rutland and his
mercenaries on the edge of Lake Titikaka, where the dais is
situated. Old memories are brought back to haunt Lara as Rutland
implies that her deceased friend Amanda Evert is still alive.
Lara
meets up with university friend Anaya Imanu outside the tomb in
Paraíso, where a tragedy befell Lara and her friends many years
ago, leaving her as the only survivor. She returns to the tomb
and a flashback reveals the events leading up to Amanda's
"death". While as a student on an excavation of tomb similar to
the one in Bolivia a demon was released and killed most of the
team. In their dash to escape the cave fills with water and
Amanda is left behind. |
