Lara Croft in Danger

As the evening sun was glowing over the Temple of Anubis, Lara decided to cool off in the ancient pool built millenia ago. As she swam around in the still waters, a glistening beam caught her attention. She saw something shiny on the edge of the pool. Having whetted her adventurous appetite, Lara swam towards the object.

When she reached the end, she found herself staring at a beautiful golden dagger stuck fast in between the floor itself. It was in remarkably good condition, as if it had been placed there not three days ago. It was lined with jewels and pearls along its hilt. It shone as the evening sun reflected its dying light upon its blade. Lara had never seen such a beautiful artifact. She lay there in the water, admiring the artifact's beauty and condition, oblivios to all else that moved. A slight breeze made her shiver as the wind gently kissed the droplets of water on her body.

This ecstatic bliss that had locked Lara in its beauty kept her from realizing the peril that awaited her, for in the still waters of the pool, a monstrous fiend lurked. It was waiting to feed on fresh blood and flesh. It quietly zeroed in on Lara who was still lost in thought over the artifact's appearance. The monster moved closer and closer and closer........
