The Moon Cathedral level



It's a sunny morning, Lara jumps in the air and she seems to be flying then she suddenly dives into the water, 
the gold-painted rays of light pass trought the glass-made ceiling of her swimming pool room, 'ah' she whispers,
'I like the calm before the storm'.
Suddenly Winstons appears with a big towel and a silk suit, then he says:'you have a visitor Miss Croft'
'I know' Lara says while getting out of the pool.
In the big sitting room of the Croft mansion John Evees is sitting with a cup of tea in his right hand, he is staring at
the big white envelope he has in his other hand, then he stands up quickly, his eyes look full of joy, then he 
says: 'so we finally meet my dear Lara' she replies:'welcome my faithfully friend' the little silver-colored water drops 
falls down from Lara's still very wet hair.
L: How did it go in the seminary? Did you find out anything interesting there?
J: Not really, as a matter of fact, my friend, it was just a social event.
Lara opens a portable computer on the tea-table, then she looks at her friend she seems surprised, she opens the
envelope in one blow, then she says: a social event! and why is that?
John replies: being honest with you, I'm not very sure, the Ancient History Seminary was full of important persons and too
much press than the usually. Lara looks the paper inside, it is full of numbers, points, commas and some letters too. 
It seems not to have any sense, after a little pause, Lara draws a little smile on her sunbathed face, it can be read 
on the screen INTERNET CONECTION READY, she begins to type energically on the keyboard, with her eyes still on 
the small screen she says: please my friend don't stop talking, 
you said it was too much press there?
J: Yes, well there is always some press in this kinds of meetings, specially sent by history related magazines, it's just a 
history related debate specially usefull for university professors and students, but this time there was a real revolution
there.
Lara interupts him: a revolution... do you know why?
J: indeed my friend, the Moon Priest was there. Now the word SEARCHING is blinking in Lara's portable pc.
She looks at her dear friend, she seems astonished, and says: The Moon Priest? What was this year the seminary's topic about?
J: Well, John drinks a little quantity of tea, 'mmmm delicious as always, Winston is really a skillfully man'
L:oh, forget it, I'm fed up with his tea, anyway, the topic was ...?
J:oh! yes, it was the moon, you see, last year some extrange hieroglyphs were found in the piramids, they were unable to be
read, but actually they were readable parcially, and it is known that they are related to the moon 
and the goddess living there. But, did you already know about him ...
L: Yes, of course, the Moon Priest, a great bussiness man, that had made millions with the money of his devoted
people, they think that he is some kind of messiah, but the truth is very different. I herd that he performed all kind of
miracles all around the word.
J:Do you think, he can really make miracles? 'he asks as guessing Lara's answer' 
L:of course, he can't, how could him.
J: so? 'Now John seems to be astonished'.
L:here take a look at this, she invites him to take a look at what she found in the net: a picture of a pair of gold-made 
gauntlets is there.
J: So this anonymous letter was in fact the password for to get to this information, what are they ecxactly?
L:The Moon Priest Power Source ,of course. John seems not to understand, so Lara begins her explanation.
After the men had landed on moon for the first time, there were lots of space trips to it in searching of life signs or water
as you know they find nothing, except for this.
J:The Moon Goddess Gauntlets.
L:You are right! this information were covered and this artifacts became just a mith, but now this hieroglyphic explanation 
that confirm their existence has begun to be read.
J: But how did he get them.
L: I don't know and I really don'care.
J: so? what are you planing to do Lara?
L:well I think he has enterprises and money enough, and just want to see them with my own eyes.
J: and... that's all...
L:not really, don't you want to know why did you receive this anonymous letter refered to me?
J: I do want, my dear
L: the goverment of the united states send spies, to become this richfull man security, and to investigate, but they never
come back, so there has to be another thing on this matter a darker one.
J:so they are trying to made you to do their dirthy work for them.
L: yes, how charmming of they!
J:so? what are you planing to do?
Now a map appears on the screen, 'here' lara points at a bay, John asks 'what is there'
the Moon Cathedral, I know this artifacts must be there, somewhere
J: and how do you plan to get there, the security system must be really strong and dangerous.
L:it's a bay right? this building is directly connected to the sea.
J:so I suppose I can't invite you to dinner this night.
L:sorry John, and don't offer me your help, I have to do it alone.

Suddenly Winstons appears with a box, 'your new diver suit has just arrived Miss Croft'

It's a cold night, the helichopter stops somewhere next to the bay, Lara looks at the darkness, she knows the water is
down there althought she can't see it.
Now she looks at the clouded sky, Lara thinks 'there's no moon this night, perfect!' She jumps.
In the infinite darkness of the water she founds the entrance to the cistern, looks funny, she thinks, but once into 
the waterfull pipes a sink begins to drag her to make her finally get stuked, well there's nothing to do here, Lara takes out
part of her diver suit and the air tanks and begins her journey in the dark and cold water she seems to see a pearl like light,
her lungs begin to feel pain, 'the moon? may be? ... I don't think so'...
to be continued ...
