Chapter 2: The Enlightened Gate
1981
I'm in a gigantic, old fortress. It's underground. Dad says we're here for just a simple exploration. Everything seems so peaceful. His good friend, Konstantin told me to explore the place. So I did.
I search around the place when I see a boy in front of me. Who's he? I wonder to myself. Suddenly, he turns around and faces me. Oddly enough, he looks familiar. It is then when I get lost into a pair of gorgeous, blue eyes…
Present Day
The moon was illuminating the black-veiled sky as shiny little dots were decorating it.
"Now how do we get underground?" she asked him.
He didn't respond, he just raised his arms and after that his vision became red and blur, letting his spirit wander beneath the ground. After a while he returned to his body with a jolt. She looked at him and he looked her back.
"Follow me" he simply added and walked a few steps away. She did so and he managed to find a secret passage leading underground. They walked through it and then found themselves into a deep tunnel.
He was walking ahead with his trustful Glaive spinning in front of him, guiding them, enlightening their way. He had his gun drawn, ready to shoot in case they saw anyone, which they both doubted since the place hadn't been visited for many years. Behind him was his partner with curious eyes hungrily exploring the place.
After walking through the humid and dark tunnel, they faced a closed door and some stony platforms leading to an opening some metres above the level ground. They both tried make the door budge but couldn't. Even Kurtis' telekinetic blast didn't work. After that, they both suspected that the answer was in the opening above. Some climbing was demanded in order for the opening to be reached.
"That's a Tomb Raider's job, isn't it" he said with a tone of sarcasm.
She just smiled sweetly to him and walked ahead. Lara climbed the platforms gracefully due to her flexibility. Kurtis made the platforms move telekinetically so Lara could reach them with ease. With the cooperation of both of them, she managed to reach the opening. There, she triggered some kind of old mechanism by pushing a button and consequently, made the door open. Afterwards, she climbed down and they both walked through the door.
After getting deeper into the tunnel, they faced a magnificent, huge gate before their eyes. They were both amazed by the size of the gate. But something felt wrong, as if the place was disgustingly familiar to both of them. But this little ray of awareness did not become apparent in neither of their faces.
"The Enlightened Gate" Lara muttered in astonishment.
Kurtis shook his head, full of surprise as well.
