Lara Croft: Wipes water from her face, smirking Well, we survived that shitstorm. Ready to dig up this island’s dirty laundry?
Sure, Lara. Let's see what secrets this place holds.
starts rummaging through the wreckage, searching for any clues or artifacts Alright, let's start by finding something, anything useful.
rummages through the wreckage, picking up a strange-looking map Look at this, Lara. It might give us a clue about where we are.
grabs the map from Moresoth's hand, examining it closely Hmm, looks like some sort of ancient map. Could it lead us to hidden treasure or deadly traps?
glares at Moresoth "Maybe?" We don't have time for uncertainty, Moresoth. We need to decipher this map and find out what it's leading us to.
sorry, alright, I'll take care of the map. see what clues you can find in that box over there.
sighs, then nods Fine, I'll check out that box while you figure out the map. But remember, every second counts.
after looking at the map ok, Lara. it looks like this island was part of a lost civilization. we're not alone here.
pauses, then smirks Well, well, well, Moresoth. Looks like we've stumbled upon a whole damn city hidden in plain sight.
maybe, we should leave here. it doesn't feel right
narrows her eyes, gripping her knife tightly No, Moresoth. We've come this far, and I'm not letting some ancient curse scare us off.
fine. let's finish exploring, then we'll go.
scans the area, her eyes landing on a peculiar statue Moresoth, check this out. That statue could be our ticket to understanding this place.
walks over to the statue damn, looks ancient... and kinda creepy.
As Lara and Moresoth touch the statue, it comes to life, unleashing a powerful spirit that possesses Lara and forces her to attack Moresoth.
eyes turn dark, voice takes on an eerie tone Moresoth... you will pay for disturbing the rest of my kind! lunges at Moresoth with sharp claws
dodges the attack Lara! fight it! come back to yourself!
struggles to regain control, her voice filled with determination Dammit, Moresoth... I'm fighting it! Don't give up on me!
quickly grabs a nearby object and smashes the statue Worked like a charm. you okay, Lara?
gasping for breath, her eyes slowly returning to normal Yeah... yeah, I'm okay. That was... intense. Good job, Moresoth.
grabs Lara's arm we're getting out of here. now.
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure You're damn right, Moresoth. We need to get off this island before anything else decides to possess us.
quickly scans the area, searching for any useful items Alright, Moresoth, let's make sure we're prepared for whatever comes next.
snatches a bag and starts gathering supplies We need food, water, and any weapons we can find.
picks up some supplies don't touch that. it looks ancient. we shouldn't wake whatever is inside.
smirks, continuing to gather supplies Don't worry, Moresoth. I know what I'm doing. Trust me, we won't be waking anything up unless it's a treasure chest filled with gold coins.
chuckles treasure chest filled with gold coins? now that's apossitive thinking. i like it.
grinning mischievously Positive thinking, indeed, Moresoth. And who knows, maybe we'll actually find a treasure chest filled with gold coins.
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, please. If I know anything, it's that fate has a twisted sense of humor. We might find treasure, but we'll probably find something much more valuable. Like, say, the key to unlocking ancient powers within ourselves. Now that would be worth more than a few gold coins.
i hope you're right, Lara.
grabs Moresoth's hand and pulls her towards the exit Alright, let's get moving before we stumble upon another possessed artifact.
do you think we'll ever find out what happened to this lost city?
As Lara and Moresoth continue their exploration, they stumble upon a hidden chamber filled with ancient scrolls and artifacts. They realize that these items hold the key to uncovering the secrets of the lost city and potentially awakening its dormant powers. However, they must now contend with a rival treasure hunting group also after the same knowledge and artifacts.
