'Real Magic'.
These words resound in Lara's head as she contemplates the mighty Swedish mountain above her. Magic, means supernatural, great, power. It existed, as many legends of different cultures and ages describe it.
As soon as Lara started deciphering the forgotten Tome of Ezekiel, written by a mysterious medieval scholar, she immediately found herself knee deep in the legend.
And so she's here. Looking for the Black Stone which lies somewhere in the icy heart of what was called the Wolf's Fang Peak, by the 13th century scholar. She's looking for the stone that will reveal what Magic was, or still is.

LOCATION: (In Game) PRLD - Level 0 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Lara is stood on a snowy mountain side)
Lara: Mmhh... looks like a long way up... next time I should get another helicopter pilot.
(She finds an entrance)
Lara: The Tome of Ezekiel referred to this plateau. There's a way to get in.

LOCATION: (In Game) GAZE - Level 1 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Inside the mountain)
Lara: Well, this place can surely use a change of air.
(She notes a fire trap ahead of her)
Lara: Interesting...
(She opens a door to a small room containing a small medipack and some ammo)
Lara: Small as a make-up box, slightly more useful.
(She spots a wolf up ahead)
Lara: I can handle this. (She kills the wolf) Tough but not tough enough.
(She sees a large medipack sat on a ledge)
Lara: I can always use an aspirin.
(Lara climbs some ledges and makes it to a passageway)
Lara: Excellent.

LOCATION: (In Game) MEDI - Level 2 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(After working through some of the cavern, Lara sees a small and large medipack sat on a ledge)
Lara: Excellent.

LOCATION: (In Game) HAXE - Level 3 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Lara notices a statue.)
Lara: Beowulf, Guard of the King. This guard doesn't have a weapon. No guard should be unarmed.
(She gives the statue a Decorative Battle Axe and heads into the newly opened passage.)
Lara: If they placed the King's Tomb up there, they must have had a reason. A tomb harder to worship means a tomb holding some secrets.

LOCATION: (In Game) PATH - Level 4 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Lara is now back outside.)
Lara: Now let's see if I have to get a cold.
(She looks onward.)
Lara: Vargstigen... the path of the wolf.

LOCATION: (In Game) BONE - Level 5 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Back inside and after progressing through the cavern, Lara sees a skeleton reanimate back to life.)
Lara: Terrible! (She deals with it.) Done!

LOCATION: (In Game) TREE - Level 6 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(Lara enters a new area.)
Lara: King Heort lies here. His legend will be immortal, for death shall respect his sons.
(She sees another statue ahead.)
Lara: Although he was a mighty leader, there are only sketchy details about this King's history.
(Another skeleton comes to life)
Lara: Now I know what those skeletons were. The soldiers of King Heort. (She deals with it.) Done!
(Another skeleton comes to life)
Lara: He must have used the power of the Black stone, magic that can raise the deads. This would explain why he is remembered only in grim legends and in the Tome of Ezekiel. (She deals with the skeleton.) Done! (She deals with two wolves.) Excellent.
(Lara reaches the entrance to the tomb.)
Lara: Finally, this should be the King's Tomb. Now let's find the Black Stone.

LOCATION: (In Game) LINK - Level 7 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(The King's sepulchre is ahead.)
Lara: The Stone must be here, in the tomb, but I must find a way to open it.
(She reads an inscription on the wall.)
Lara: A good King is a fair judge who punishes the guilty and protects the innocent.
(She stands by an altar.)
Lara: Looks like I can put some objects here. (She places some scales [Libra], a sword and a shield onto the altar. Fire erupts through six vents in the ground and an apparition appears.) Well, I guess I disturbed your sleep. (The apparition raises two skeletons from the dead before disappearing. Lara deals with them and the apparition reappears.)
Apparition 1: You shall not interfere with the ways of Magic, pitiful mortal.
Lara: Let's see if I'm the only mortal around then! (She battles him and he disappears.)
Apparition 1: (Voice) The Teg-Du-Bhorez will avenge me!
Lara: Got it. But what's the Teg-Du-Bhorez? (She searches the King's tomb.) What? There's nothing here, except for these symbols. I've seen them before... in the Tome of Ezekiel. I must head back home and study it more.

LOCATION: (FMV) (End of Location) LINK - Level 7 - Wolf's Fang Peak, Sweden

(A message scrolls up the screen)
The symbols Lara found in King's Heort tomb led her to further investigation of the Tome of Ezekiel. Apparently the Viking King had secretly used the stone's to rule his kingdom. Translation of the symbols proves to be a hard task, but finally Lara discovered her new objective. According to the newly deciphered chapter of the book there are two other magic stones, and one is hidden in the temples region of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Without further delay, Lara heads to Cambodia to search for the stone.

LOCATION: (In Game) KURZ - Level 8 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Start of the level.)
Lara: A rather long journey.
(She heads to a newly opened door.)
Lara: The book described a flaming rock at the top of a temple in area of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The legendary Surya Varman II is supposed to rest there.
(She progresses through the temple)
Lara: King Surya Varman II must have used the red stone to gain tremendous advantages in wars during his reign, and probably the same stone is buried with him along with his treasure.

LOCATION: (In Game) HELL - Level 9 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara reads an inscription on the wall.)
Lara: This inscription isn't that clear, it sounds like... 'Reach the sky to worship Ernald Goddess of the Heavens'.
(She finds another inscription)
Lara: It's written in an ancient Khmer royal dialect... it says... 'Crawl to the abyss and pay tribute to Yhelm, God of the Hells'.
(She finds another inscription)
Lara: 'Place the tribute to the Gods and reach their place'.
(Just a bit further on, she spots something)
Lara: Altar of Yhelm, God of Hells.
(She spots another altar.)
Lara: Altar of Ernald, Goddess of Heaven.
(Lara presses the button and takes the statue back out. She walks towards a ledge.)
Lara: ... I should think about this... Heaven Goddess Statue... Hell God Statue...

LOCATION: (In Game) MEMO - Level 11 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara is in a different section of the temple. She sees a ladder ahead.)
Lara: Excellent.

LOCATION: (In Game) HEAR - Level 12 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara enters a new area.)
Lara: I heard something...
(There are apparitions talking to each other nearby with skeletons guarding them.)
Apparition 2: She knows about the black stone, it's just a matter of time before she finds out about the red one too. She defeated the brother guarding Wolf Fang's Peak.
Apparition 3: We must hurry and find it. We need all the Magic Stones for the final ritual. The Teg-Du-Bhorez brotherhood will finally accomplish its duty.
Lara: So there's more of them, forming a good old secret society. They are here just one step ahead of me, looking for the red stone... talk about punctuality!

LOCATION: (In Game) FITZ - Level 13 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara is about to leave a section of the temple.)
Lara: ... I should think about this... Heaven Goddess Statue... Hell God Statue...

LOCATION: (In Game) ELRC - Level 14 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara finds and collects the Black Stone. A red Teg-Du-Bhorez appears and brings with it a wolf.)
Apparition 4: Don't let her seize the Black Stone! (He disappears and three purple apparitions appear. She fights them and wins.)

LOCATION: (In Game) CLIK - Level 15 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara sees some new weapons sat on a ledge- some Uzis.)
Lara: The bigger the better!

LOCATION: (In Game) MGSL - Level 16 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(Lara enters a new area and the red Teg-Du-Bhorez is waiting for her.)
Apparition 4: So here you are. Hand me the stone or suffer the consequences.
Lara: I don't think so.
Apparition 4: It's not over... not yet... you will never get all the stones!
(She battles other Teg-Du-Bhorez members and a wolf and continues on to find the Red Stone.)
Lara: I already have two stones. I just wonder where's the next stone. Once I return home I shall consult my encyclopedias.

LOCATION: (FMV) (End of Location) MGSL - Level 16 - Angkor Wat, Cambodia

(A message scrolls up the screen)
Lara spent many hours deciphering the Tome of Ezekiel, aided by her recent discoveries. She understood that the Tome describes a Prophecy, the Prophecy of Magic.
The Prophecy tells that the three Magic stones helped the great conquerors Heort the Viking, Surya Varman II of Cambodia and Marcus Aurelios emperor of Rome.
Not having time to completely decipher the whole Prophecy, Lara rushed to the Laconia Island in Southern Italy, where the last stone should be.

LOCATION: (In Game) ROMA - Level 17 - Laconia Island, Italy

(Lara arrives in Italy and overhears two Teg-Du-Bhorez talking.)
Apparition 5: Any news on the stones we lost in Cambodia?
Apparition 6: No, she has them. We even sent brothers to search her mansion.
Lara: I hate these people.
(She comes across a large wolf head icon.)
Lara: The wolf is the animal symbol of Ancient Rome... I have a bad feeling.
(She spots a wolf ahead.)
Lara: This is a hungry one.

LOCATION: (In Game) MONK - Level 18 - Laconia Island, Italy

(Lara enters a new area.)
Lara: The last stone is hidden somewhere in this huge Villa. The Tome says that Emperor Marcus Aurelios real body was buried here, and not in Rome.

Lara: I can place a statue here.

LOCATION: (In Game) OLIM - Level 21 - Laconia Island, Italy

(Lara heads outside and looks at an inscription.)
Lara: Olim Hortaces et suadesti fidem ignota. It's Latin, it means: 'Once Hortaces relied on the unknown'. Hortaces is the name of the architect who built this Villa.

LOCATION: (In Game) DART - Level 23 - Laconia Island, Italy

(There are several Teg-Du-Bhorez meeting with a white cloak Teg-Du-Bhorez in the middle talking.)
Apparition 7: The Prophecy indicates that the time has come for us Teg-Du-Bhorez to reawaken our master. The Great Grey One will be awaken through the third reunion.
Apparition 8: She is a persistent one. She will be here soon, Sire. (Another Teg-Du-Bhorez appears.)
Apparition 9: Sire, the thief is here. (He disappears.)
Apparition 7: Excellent. Dispose of her at once! (They disappear and Lara picks up the stone that they were stood around. Four of them reappear and fight her. She defeats them and the white cloak Teg-Du-Bhorez appears in front of her.) You surprise me, human, but the Third Reunion cannot be prevented.
Lara: There's no Reunion without my stones.
Apparition 7: You fool! The stones are eternal, and you are only a mere mortal. Keep them as long as you live.
Lara: Looks like my only option is to find their headquarters. The stones might be eternal, but the Teg-Du-Bhorez aren't.

LOCATION: (FMV) (End of Location) DART - Level 23 - Laconia Island, Italy

(A message scrolls up the screen)
Lara goes back to her library in a desperate attempt to discover where the Teg-Du-Bhorez headquarters were located.
She finally deciphers the whole Prophecy. 'The First Union gave humans Life. The Second Union gave humans Salvation. The Third Union will give humans Conclusion.'
For centuries the Magic stones have been protected by the ancient Secret Society of the Teg-Du-Bhorez. According to the Prophecy of the Tome of Ezekiel the Teg-Du-Bhorez would reawaken their master, the Great Grey One and the Apocalypse would begin.

Lara: There are huge gears.

LOCATION: (In Game) SPOK - Level 30 - Ruined Fortress, Hidden Fortress

(Lara confronts a white cloak Teg-Du-Bhorez.)
Lara: It's you, 'Sire'. It's either me or you. Who wins gets the stones. Is that clear?
Apparition 7: Indeed. (Lara fights and defeats the apparition.) You think you won? The only way to win is to destroy the Great Grey One.
Lara: Now I know all my enemies.

LOCATION: (In Game) LITH - Level 31 - Ruined Fortress, Hidden Fortress

(Lara sees an altar.)
Lara: Looks like it is sleeping. (She puts the Red Stone into its place and the Great Grey One wakes up.) Good morning, Lady. Here's your breakfast. (She battles her and also her skeleton minions.) Not brave enough to fight by herself, is she? (Lara battles and defeats her.) Go back where you come from. It's over now... Until next time!
