story:

Early 2010; Prologue
The Kai-Len Monastery, old Chinese legend proclaims that the monks of the Kai-Len Monastery were so at peace with themselves and their Gods that they decided they needed no contact with civilisation, they just lived off their prayers and their livestock, the monastery was based upon a natural spring deep within the mountain, their simple life disguised their true reason for living in such a remote area; The monks within the monastery made a sworn rite that they would fight and die to protect their monasterys' treasure, that was what Lara Croft is after; this happened two thousand years ago, most just regard it as a lie, but some hikers have seen men who they think to be monks, walking around the countryside, but after being spotted would run towards a water source and disappear, no one knows why, but this sparks our heroine's interest, because apparently within the monastery the revered brother artifact to the Seraph is hidden there; This artifact whoever was named the Talisman of Life; Ancient beliefs state that anyone in possesion of the Seraph and the Talisman of Life will gain unimaginable knowlegde; Lara firstly retrieved the Seraph, the monks remembered her, almost a decade before and immediately gave her the Seraph, on condition that in her last will it should return to their hands;
Lara then returned to England in high spirits, she imagined discovering the whereabouts of all the archological tombs that have been mysteries for millenia, but one agenda Lara had to be able to discover how and where her father passed away; as the authorities never found his body, they just recieved an anonymous letter stating in Italian Richard Croft is dead, so is his wife, now all that's left is his daughter,
Lara, after many late nights of research in her library she found the rumoured location of the monastery;
She soon after departs Croft Manor to the Chinese country of Kiera, as soon as she arrives is greeted by a late adversary's followers, still following in his footsteps, but during her adventure Lara must find out who and why they are looking for the monastery also; After leaving the small hotel she resided in for a few days to recooperate from the long journey she set off into the mountains; She soon uncharicteristically got herself lost in the mountains; in her enthusiasm to find the monastery; A few hours passed with Lara mindlessly trekking around the mountains, but soon she discovered a small spring, she immediately took long drinks from the spring, noticing the spring was lukewarm, she assumed that under here must be a natural spring; Suddenly Lara remembered in one of her books; Chinese Myths and Legends It read The old monastery was supposed to have been built upon a large spring; Lara knew now she had found the monastery, and she looked into the opening of the spring, it would be a tight fit, but she squeezed through and went shooting down a river, into the deepest parts of the mountain...

[End notes]

Slide down the slope and stop on a flat area. Slide down another slope and land in some water. Pull out and go to the right. A thug and a monk are fighting. The thug will win. Kill the thug and pick up a small medipack and Uzi Clips from his body. You see a key lock on the wall. Go in the other direction and shoot a thug and a vulture. Go into the far back corner and pull out a moveable block. Enter the tunnel and see a roller blade. Ignore it since it did not move. Go down the tunnel and jump over two knife blades. You land in a flooded room.

Swim into the underwater tunnel in one wall. Follow the tunnel to a pool. Put up on the ledge to shoot the three mermaids. Press two pushbuttons, one each on the side wall of both long ledges. The large underwater doors open in the pool. Swim into a trench at the bottom of the pool and pick up the Harpoon Gun and many harpoons. Swim through the open doors to the back of the tunnel. Pick up a key (K4) and swim back onto a ledge.

Go towards the closed gate in the corner and the gate opens. Outside, thugs and monks are fighting. The monks lose again. Jump down and shoot the two thugs. Use the key in the key lock and a trap door opens besides you. Drop into the water. You can see mermaids swimming near an item in the next pool. I could not get there. Swim straight and up into another hole in the ceiling and pull up into a room. Thugs and monks are fighting in the room next to you. Move forward and the level ends.

The level is short, but it is a demo.
