”Hey!” Lara shrieked as the metallic door opened, and a cone of light showed her the way. The shallow water splashed under the thick heels of her boots as she drew away from the sinister darkness and finally made her way through the door. She had trouble dashing up the stairs in her tight skirt, but was too disoriented to realize to pull it up. When the other girl was already at the top, she had barely made it half-way there.<br/><br/>“You’re one of us, aren’t you?” the tall stranger asked, and it took a while for the confused Lara to realize what she meant.<br/><br/>“I’m the Dreamer,” she replied after catching up with the girl, and then watched as her appearance suddenly changed. The tingling of the bells in Lara’s ears brought back some distant memories.<br/><br/>“I remember those bells…” Lara said, and then stared at the flaming sword, “I’m not a warrior like you! I cannot fight!”<br/><br/>They started moving again, and Lara did her best to keep up with the determined knight.<br/><br/>“I shouldn’t even be here,” Lara nagged as they walked. Slowly, she began to realize it didn’t matter whether she wanted to be there or not, and tried to make herself somehow useful.<br/><br/>“I can get into its mind,” Lara said, although she wasn’t really sure if she could. It had been the creature who had been in hers.<br/><br/>“I can try to distract it,” she added with a bit more confidence, and felt a little better about herself.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
