Lara cracks open a secure vault and steals an ancient silver ring. When she slips it on, the band fuses straight into her finger with blue light. The God of Death, Victor, emerges from black mist across the frozen floor. He demands the jewelry, but a forcefield blasts him away. Victor warns that their souls are now linked and leaving will kill them both. Lara ignores his plea and bolts down the hall.
Lara breaches a secure safe inside a private vault. She finds an ornate jewelry box resting inside. When she opens the container, she spots an ancient silver ring radiating a faint light. She claims the treasure for herself.
Lara stands beside the vault window and slides the silver band onto her finger. The metal instantly contracts against her skin. Blazing blue light flares as the jewelry merges deep into her flesh, causing her severe pain.
Cold frost spreads across the vault floor while black mist pours inside. A man dressed in dark clothing materializes from the haze with shining blue eyes. He approaches Lara and fiercely demands that she return his ring immediately.
Victor reaches out to grab his jewelry from Lara. A sudden wave of energy erupts from the ring and hurls him backward across the room. He discovers that Lara has formed an unintended soul bond with his divine essence.
Victor drops to his knees in intense agony. He explains that his lost memories reside within the relic. He warns that Underworld rules will destroy them both if she departs, but Lara distrusts his claims and runs away.
Lara sprints down the hallway to escape the building. Victor struggles to rise as his hand turns transparent and ghostly. He shouts after her that he will vanish without the relic, reminding her that their fates are now linked.
“Tonight this priceless antique is mine.”
“Damn it... A soul bond. You've bonded with my divine essence.”
“Don't leave, or we both get erased by the Underworld's law.”
“We're bound now, Lara.”
Victor watches his own hand dissolve into a ghostly haze as Lara escapes down the corridor. He calls out to remind her that their lives are irrevocably tied together. Can Lara find a way to remove the fused band, or will the Underworld's harsh law destroy both of them before she can escape his reach?
