A plane carrying nine-year-old Lara Croft and her mother Amelia crashes in a fierce storm while flying over the Himalayas in Nepal, leaving the Crofts as the only survivors. While taking shelter in an abandoned Buddhist monastery, Lara discovers a stone dais with an ancient sword set in it, which activates a dimensional portal when she touches it. Amelia intervenes and removes the sword, triggering an explosion that consumes her. Devastated, Lara sketches the dais in her journal so she can study it.
