V.O

May 17th, 2009. Further research on Himiko. According to legend. Himiko, the first queen of Japan was
a powerful sorceress who ruled her empire through dark magic. Spreading death and destruction, by the
mere touch of her hand. She was only stopped by a single twist of fate. An army of her own Generals bound...
and dragged Himiko... to an uninhabitable island in the middle of the treacherous Devil's Sea. There
she remains entombed beneath the mountains. I found a spec, on an old map that no one else has. And she's there.
Waiting to be unleashed. I have to get there first. Even if it means doing... the last thing I'd ever want to do...
Leaving my Lara behind.
