## History

### LARA CROFT ORIGIN STORY! (A Fortnite Short Film)

During the near-destruction of the Zero Point, Lara was raiding a tomb in search of artifacts when a reality wave teleported her to the island. She keeps record of her adventures on the island with an adventure log. We first see her recording adventure log 902 as she is near the fishing shack near in Misty Meadows. While she heads towards it, she tells her first impression on the island, describing it as a place with many questions but little answers. In order to get these answers, she is in need of transport. So, she knocks on the door of the fishing shack which is found out to belong to fisherwoman Outcast. Lara is met with a rude "go away" from her which she ignores and jokingly remarks in her log that "manners haven't found their way to this civilization yet." She asks to borrow her boat, but she denies her request, bringing her affair with her ex-husband which probably refers to Turk. Lara then offers to pay her and her attention is caught. Lara introduces herself and explains that she would like to find out why she brought and she believes that the tower in the middle of Misty Meadows' lake might have the answer. Outcast warns her that the towers are dangerous and going towards one spelt disaster. Lara tells her that danger never stopped her before, but she noticed that she said towers in plural, indicating that there's more. Outcast complains they've been popping up all over the island and that they've been messing with the wildlife especially the fish. Lara apologizes for her current problem, but tells her that could be a reason to help her. By investigating the towers, she could find the problem behind the fish. Outcast remarks that she speaks very fancy and assumes she must be loaded. She offers the boat ride for 100 gold bars, surprising Lara at the amount, probably not aware of them being the island's currency. Nevertheless, she accepts the offer, asking her to be careful as she gets seasick easily.

During the boat ride, she has a flashback. We are unable to see what's going on due to a black screen, but Lara experiences a shipwreck and tries to escape, but fails. The screen then shows a stranded Lara coughing on water and gasping for air. Stranded on a beach, she is confused by her surroundings, but realizes that her ship had crashed. She then see her friend Sam and tries to call to her, but she is too far away to hear her. She calms her thought and tells herself to start looking for the others, but she is alerted by a noise. Turning toward the sound, she knocked out by a unknown assailant.

She snaps out of her flashback, still on the island and Outcast's boat. She reassures herself that this isn't the first strange island she's been on and it won't be the last. Outcast asks what she said, but Lara plays it of as nothing. Lara then asks her what kind of danger she could expect as Outcast did say they were dangerous earlier. She replies that she doesn't know specifics, just that a lot of strange characters hang around them and some aren't as "friendly" as she is. Leaving the boat, Lara thanks her for the advice and leaves her payment in her seat. Outcast drives away, leaving Lara to marvel at the tower. She remarks that it doesn't seem manmade, wondering if it's natural. She approaches it and finds an extinguished campfire, indicating someone has been there recently. She cautiously walks up the tower and arrives at the top. She feels a strange energy that swears she felt before as she climbs up and an orb is sitting in the center of the top platform which she identifies as the source. She admires it and tries to document it, but is interrupted by a spire guardian. They demand that she leaves at once. She turns to face her and is suddenly intriguied by them. They speak again, saying the tower is not meant for the likes of her. She apologizes for her disrespect, but before she leaves, she asks them were the beam from the orb lead. The spire guardian then attacks her for her disobedience. In retaliation, she withdraws a makeshift bow and pulls back an arrow, ready to fire. Suddenly, the spire guardian fades away, reappearing at the side of Lara. This surprises Lara and she releases the arrow at the guardian, but she fades away again. They reappear in their previous spot before fading away again and reappearing behind Lara as she charges at where they once were with her pickaxes. They reappear behind Lara and tell her that the Spire gives the guardians many gifts in return for protection. With that, she fades away once more and reappears behind Lara again, hitting her on the launch pad. She is sent flying into the land before them.

Lara reappears later, now heading towards the Spire. She starts adventure log 903 and we can assume a day has passed since her run-in with the spire guardian. She has new scar from their battle. She then says the orb's beam led her to the tower that she kept having visions about, the Spire. She enters the village surrounding it, observing it. She then notices a shopkeep throw out a woman in a black suit. She is relieved that life does exist in this village. Lara calls out to her and catches the girl's attention, but the girl tells her she doesn't have time to talk. Lara quickly says that it'll only take a second and introduces herself as Lara Croft. She then asks for her name. The girl almost says she's Jules, but corrects herself, saying Marigold instead. She recognizes the name and jokingly remarks that her father must be Midas, unaware of Marigold's father with the same name. This triggers Marigold, demanding to know what she knows about her father and even suspecting that IO sent her. Lara quickly tells her that there's been an misunderstanding and that she doesn't know anyone she's talking about. It just remind her of a tale from her world, one she tells Marigold she is far away from. Marigold quickly fills in the rest of the story. Lara replies, agreeing on the term of "reality waves." She tells her she was raiding a tomb before they hit her and suddenly she was on the island. The two started walking towards the Spire, discussing tomb raiding. They find that they have more in common than they thought. Lara can't help but say that she feels their destinies are intertwined. Marigold assumes out loud that she is hoping the Spire would give her answe4s to why she's here. Lara confirms her assumption. She then tells Lara to stay away from the Spire as it's dangerous and can change you. She knows firsthand. Lara replies that doesn't fear danger, but Marigold shoots that down. She's not willing to lose anyone else to it, even people she doesn't know. Lara tries to offer her help, but Marigold tells her that this is something that she has to do on her own. Lara accepts this and they become friends and exchange numbers. Lara also takes her advice and stays away from the Spire. They part ways.

Lara reappears in Weeping Woods around a campfire she had recently lit. She starts adventure log 904. She recaps her encounter with Marigold. During the log, she mentions how Marigold's hand looked like solid gold, speculating if the island really does bring myths to life. She awaits her call though, respecting her wishes of not going to the Spire. Suddenly, the fire goes out and darkness clouds around her. Lara hears rustling around her and becomes alert. She shouts at her surroundings, demanding that whoever was there to show themselves. Suddenly, a woman clad in dinosaur bones rushes towards Lara, posing a threat.
