So, this is my first Fan fiction. But please tell me what you think and don't hold back. Show me any mistake or inconsistency you think I made. I want to know what you really think of my stories, not what you think I want to hear.

Anyway, allow me to explain what I was trying to do with this Fan Fic. First of all, my personal style involves quite some action, savvy conversations and humour, hold together by a somewhat unbelievable plot. I try to make my main characters as believable as possible, but the backgrounds and bad guys are usually quite unbelievable. (Nutty Doctor anyone?)

Those of you who like to see links back to the games and story lines that take of where the games stopped will be disappointed by this story. I completely started from scratch. I did use some of the story-lines you'll find in the games, but mostly I just tried to reinvent the Tomb Raider Universe, without losing the Tomb Raider feel and personally I think I will succeed in that quite well.

Alright, There were a couple of things that I find absolutely necessary in a Tomb Raider story. First of all, Lara has to raid some tombs, that are filled with all sorts of animals and traps. Secondly, in the latest few TR games, conversation was a much used way to further the plot and I will use practically the same, Expect a lot of talking after the prologue. Lastly, I believe the plot can be a bit wacky, taking the myths a bit to serious, as long as you do it with a bit of humor, so I tried to do so.

This will probably be my last entry in this notebook, I fear my end will come soon. The first thing I'll do tomorrow is give this to Flavio Gadenza. I believe that even in all this mess, he's still the only one I can trust, he's not like those snobs at Oxford. I'll tell him to give this to Lara the moment she comes to him, that way I'll know for sure that the right thing will happen with my notebook, my research. I'll know for sure that the secrets this might unlock will be used for good, not evil.. Recently I've seen that only Lara is not yet tainted by the greed of men. Even Flavio is in it for the money I pay him, but Lara, Lara can never be bought or drawn by greed. She is the only one who will what to do. She has to carry on my research, she has to find Atlantis.

LARA CROFT'S TOMB RAIDER: ATLANTIS REVEALED
Prologue:

It felt as if the cold clamb walls of Mary Kings Close were coming at him as he was desperately trying to find his way out. His blood was streaming slowly out of the open gunshot wound on his back. Behind him he could hear the barking and voices of his pursuers and their dogs.

A smirk appeared on his face. His pursuers had done anything to find this manuscript before he did, but they still hadn't managed to get it. He fooled them, the fools. Even back there, where they outnumbered him ten to one. Now he could give this to Lara, she would finish what he started. Even if he would die, Lara would find all the key's and with them Atlantis. She would finish his quest and his pursuers couldn't do anything about it with all the weapons and manpower in the world.

Th barking and the voices were getting louder and louder. He was trapped two-hundred feet underground. Trapped within the walls of a city underneath a better place to hide a secret then this big maze. A maze that was visited by tourists so much, that it developed a reputation of being just another fake, ghost filled tourist attraction by the general public. What better place to hide a secret then underneath the noses of millions of tourists every year?

He almost cried of relief when he saw the dim, green light of the exit sings, which the tourist company had put up there to show the way out to wandering tourists.

His eyes spotted the door that would lead to the stairs and eventually to the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland's capitol. He tried to open the door with his free hand when another bullet found it's way into his back. A loud scream left his throat as he collapsed down on the ground. He scrambled to get back on his feet when he saw a dark figure walking closer to him

"I see you almost made it out, docter Croft. Or should I say, sir Croft?" The dark figiure seemed by very pleased with himself as he laughed softly

"You will never find Atlantis, NEVER!" His lung had been punctured by that last bullet resulting in the coughing of blood.

"now, now doctor. I would be little less hard on your body if I were you. Ow and by the way, I WILL find Atlantis and you nor your daughter will stop me doing so. The figure ripped away the manuscript which the doctor had been holding so close to his chest and opened the door. With a loud squeak it opened slowly, letting the daylight in which came from the top of the stairs

"Ow and about your daughter. If you were relieing on her to carry on your research you will find yourself find that you will be disappointed. I hear someone arranged a few surprises for her this time around."The man's laughing felt like bricks hitting the doctors head. He tried to reach for the top of the stairs with his hand so he could pull himself up, but he just barely couldn't reach it. Everything was going into a blur when the doctor whispered his last words:"Lara..."

And there I was, in my bed. Practically swimming in my own sweat. "Father..." I mumbeld. I never forgot him, ever. I tried to close my eyes and sleep again, but I coudn't. After I had that nightmare I was never able to sleep again that night, it sucked, but it couldn't be helped

My father died three years ago. Murdered. I hadn't spoken to him for some time back then. All I knew was that he was searching for the lost city of Atlantis. Ever since he died... I tried to find it too. I'm not sure why. Maybe I want to show the world my father was not crazy, he never was. Or maybe I just wanted to find the person who killed him. All I knew was that I would do both, no matter what
