I was swimming in a huge ocean shining with light and filled with shimmering fish and colourful coral I swam around for a while seeing all the wonders the ocean had to show. I saw a glimmer out of the corner of eye I turned and just a few metres away was a beautiful gem like none I've ever seen I tried to reach it when I felt my throat close up. I gasped for air only swallowing water I struggled to escape the ocean but my strokes weakened and my eyes became heavy I gave one last push but my arms and legs felt like lead and I could feel deaths' cold hands pull me away to oblivion.

I awoke with a jerk and I saw that I was completely submerged in water; I pushed myself to the top of the water pit that I had fallen asleep in hours earlier. I pulled myself onto the rim and I jumped onto the ground, my burnt leg giving way making me collapse. I tried to stand up and put weight on it, it quivered with pain but it was bearable I limped my way to the fire trap room and miraculously they were still going "How do they work?" I wondered but decided that it would be best to steer clear of them for now.

I went back to the water pit room looking for my torch and after a bit of scrambling around I found the femur torch. I once again set it alight and further investigated the water pit room, revealing that there really was no exit or door. I inspected the water pit "Hmmm it is quite deep, I wonder?" I extinguished my torch and strapped it to my belt and I dived inside the water pit and swam down to the bottom, I couldn't see a thing so I had to see through touch. I was about to give up when I felt some kind of gap I squeezed through it and I pushed myself to the end of it. I was starting to feel light-headed when I swam into some kind of clearing, a lot like the other water pit. I swam up almost blacking out in the process I just reached the top and I coughed out water and gasped for air as I broke to the top and as my breathing calmed down I gasped at the scene that was before me.

I had gotten myself into some kind of room that had a pathway weaving around the corner it was dotted with piles of ancient gold coins and some ancient, heavily decorated pottery, and a staircase leading to who knows where but the thing that was most surprising about this place was that it was fully lit. This place is meant to have been abandoned for thousands of years so what lit this. I leaped out of the water pit onto the ground being careful of my footing so I wouldn't set off any more traps.

I carefully walked down the path when I saw that a certain patch of wall didn't really fit in with the rest of the room I walked up to it and I noticed that the grain of the stone didn't really fit the rest of the wall I ran my fingers down the edges of it and I pushed it a bit and a small gap opened. I pushed on it more until it opened completely, the room it opened up to was pretty bare apart from a chest and a sarcophagus I ignored the chest for now, whatever was in there was useless for me at the moment. I inspected the sarcophagus ignoring the voice at the back of my mind warning me about mummies and the like, they couldn't exist. I pulled the door open revealing an awesomely gruesome sight.

Inside was an actual mummy I mean of course they exist but it's not alive it's been dead for thousands of years obviously. I traced my fingers around the mummy's face appreciating the hard work and effort it would've taken to preserve this ancient noblemen or possibly even a pharaoh of ancient times, I was about to remove the crown from the top of his head when a huge tremor shook the entire temple knocking me to the ground and winding me. "URGH what was tha" I didn't have time to finish my question to myself, when I saw the mummy before me groan and grasp the edge of the sarcophagus shaking his head.

I was paralysed with fear; the mummy slowly inched out of what was meant to be his final resting place and looking for something, was he looking for me? I tried to stand and sneak out of the room without any sound hoping he might not notice me when my foot kicked a pebble causing the mummy's face to literally split in half giving off an inhumane roar, it tensed up and bounded after me. I sprinted out of the room and was about to run up to the water pit when I saw that dozens of mummies surrounded it "Crap" I cursed as I stopped in my tracks ready to sprint in the other direction when the one that was in the hidden room tackled me to the ground unsheathing a rusty dagger ready to plunge it into my heart. I grabbed its hands and pushed against it with all my might.

We struggled with the knife for a bit but when it inched closer and closer, I realised that he was infinitely stronger than me. I gave one last, forceful push and rolled to the side making his knife violently stab into the ground. I quickly got up and sprinted off in the other direction. I leaped down the staircase and bolted into a room that was once again surrounded in darkness but I couldn't be slow or hesitate, I could hear the shuffling and the moans of the mummies getting close and closer. I walked forward with my hands in front of me as some kind of protection when I stepped on another pressure plate setting off another set of fire traps.

They were so dense there was no way I could get through, I cried out in despair and I backed up to the wall. My back hit a strange stone plinth. I turned and I saw that I had backed into a strange statue in the shape of some kind of demon. It looked pretty loose on the floor I stood up and I gave it a pull it wouldn't budge. I gave it another pull with desperation as I heard the mummies reaching the stairs, it started to move and I pulled it in front of the fire traps, I started to push it through the fire traps disabling them as it slid over them. I saw out of the corner of my eyes the mummies less than a few metres away from me I could almost feel their breath on the nape of my neck, I pushed with all the strength in my body. After a few torturous seconds I reached the end of the traps and I Leapt into the next room.

It was lit with bolts of electricity bursting through every crevice. "Okay, I can do this just take it slow" I shuffled through the bolts getting hit on an unwary finger "DAMN, that hurts I better be careful". The mummies ran through the entrance and mindlessly into the electricity field. Their bodies were thrown onto the ground from the force of the electric current burning and scorching their bodies filling the air with the disgusting smell of burnt flesh. The few that were smart enough to know that the electricity was dangerous weaved through although most of them were much slower than me. I saw that I was only half way through and I urged my body to get through faster. I was almost there when I felt something grab my arm, I looked back and I stared straight into a mummies wrapped face which promptly burst in half revealing razor sharp, black teeth getting ready to sink into me. I jerked him off and I leapt over the last bit of the electricity.

"ARGHHH" I screamed in pain as my already burnt leg was shot directly in the middle with electricity I tried to not throw up at the smell of my own burnt flesh. I limped off into the next room which was quite bare apart from the occasional lit lantern dotted around the walls "Thank god" I quickly walked off to the other side of the room trying to shake off the agony my leg was in.

I almost fell down some strange hole that was at the end of the room I looked back and the mummies were nearing, some were even sprinting. I dropped a pebble down the hole and I heard the sound of it hitting water "God what am I doing?" I wondered in disbelief as I grabbed the craggy surface of the hole and tried to climb down.

My foot slipped, I tried to grab onto the edge of the hole but it all fell apart and I fell. The hole opened up to some kind of underground lake. I plunged into freezing water which stole my breath and almost cost me my life as I almost made me blacked out when I hit the water. I waded through the lake looking for some kind of land. I eventually found some sort of mini island in the middle I crawled onto it exhausted and starving I could almost just collapse and sleep for a day but I couldn't I had to find a way out I had to plan something. My legs kicked some kind of squishy log "Huh, what's this?" I crouched down and turned the log over revealing that it wasn't a log at all but a sim, a dead sim.

"OH MY GOD" I screamed and stumbled back almost wading back into the water but the more gritty side of me made me approach the dead sim. I studied the dead sim, it had decomposed quite a bit but some parts of it were still recognisable. From closer inspection I noticed that it was a woman with a rather large bust and had what looked like brown hair she must've got lost down here and just given up. I saw that her pockets were bulging and her bag looked pretty full too "She might have something useful on her" I contemplated.

I reached for her pockets cringing at the thought of stealing from the dead but I swallowed my fear and searched her pants finding nothing but a bottle of stagnant water I threw that away and a lighter "this will come in handy" I stored the lighter into my pocket for later use. I then looked through his large satchel. I noticed that were a lot of gold coins in here and that Anubis type relic from before in there. I then looked through her shirt pocket I found a note; it looked like it had been written with blood

Here lies Lara. C the greatest adventurer of all time

I had no idea what to make of this on one hand it's sad because she's dead on the other this is kind of a ridiculous last message and it was also kind of terrifying I mean if this woman claims that she's the best adventurer and she died here than what hope do I have of getting out of here "No don't think like that, you can make it just think" I sat down for an hour or so doing what I can to nurse my leg and listening to my stomach growl more fiercely than a tiger.

Well I can't just sit around here, I have to do something. I set alight my now dry torch with the lighter, I then grabbed this guy's satchel apologising in the process and then waded through the water making sure to keep the torch above the water when I heard it. A few heavy splashes and distant moaning "CRAP" the mummies had followed me down here. I quickly swam in the opposite direction of their moans and splashing until they were just a distant echo but another enemy was starting to take hold 'fatigue'. "I have to rest or else I'll drown" I tried to keep going but with each stroke my arms got weaker and my legs got more tired with each kick. I was freezing, starving and exhausted and I had nowhere to go, I was out of options and I just couldn't go on. My eyes eventually gave up and shut tight and soon I was unconscious and adrift in an underwater sea.
