==Synopsis==


In order to steal the [[Heart of the Mountain]], the leader of the [[Thieves Guild]] [[Galem]] sent [[Kanrik]] to recover the [[Bringer of the Night]], an ancient monster sealed in a tomb in the [[Lost Desert]]. Kanrik recruited [[Hannah]] to help him, but lied about what his true goal was. When she discovered Kanrik had betrayed her, Hannah followed him to [[Terror Mountain]], where she discovered that the [[Bori]] civilisation was being kept alive in a magical sleep by the very gemstone the Thieves Guild sought.

After a confrontation, the Bringer and the Thieves Guild forged an uneasy truce to capture the Heart of the Mountain together. Kanrik defected from the Guild, and helped Hannah and the restored Bori defeat the Bringer's icy skeleton army and his former allies. The Bringer of the Night himself was frozen solid by the magic of the Heart.

[[Image:Hatic ta-kutep door.png|left|thumb|400px|Hannah and Kanrik discover the tomb.]]
Somewhere in [[Neopia]], the Thieves Guild were counting their ill-gotten gains when they discovered an ancient manuscript mentioning a large gemstone hidden in [[Terror Mountain]]. It was called the Heart of the Mountain, purported to possess the powers of eternal life. The writings also told of a "key to the heart deep within a tomb" with strange markings on it. Intrigued, the leader of the guild, [[Galem]], ordered his best thieves to find the tomb and bring him back what was inside. They would recognise the tomb by its strange markings, an eye staring out of a sun.

They found their way to an ancient tomb. Carved into the walls were inscriptions that read, "A demi-god of awesome power lays within." Hannah effortlessly evaded every booby trap in the tomb until she reached the doorway to the inner chamber, where she accidentally triggered a secret button on the floor. The door opened, but Hannah's arm was branded with the sun symbol, the Mark of Ta-Kutep. In pain, she slipped off a ledge, and Kanrik revealed his true colours: he allowed her to fall, and his two accomplices, alerted by her screams, arrived.

Inside the inner chamber, all Kanrik and the thieves found a sarcophagus. They decided this was the "key to the heart" the manuscript spoke of, and carried it away to Terror Mountain. They were gone by the time Hannah had climbed back up from her fall. She couldn't read the hieroglyphs inside the chamber, but found a brilliant red gem on a necklace hidden inside the walls. She returned to the village and met the [[Lost Desert Medicine]] doctor, who explained that the marking on her arm was a curse that cannot be healed through normal means. Hannah insisted it was "just a burn" and decided to go after Kanrik to Terror Mountain.

At Terror Mountain, [[Valin the Quick]] was on a special mission for Galem. He feigned exhaustion at [[Taelia]]'s door. She carried him inside to help him warm up, but to her surprise, he jumped up and began wreaking havoc in her home. He found Taelia's Wand of Ice and froze her solid. Assured that the Snow Faerie was indeed immobilised, Valin escaped through a window.

[[Image:Hannah-icecavesplot3.png|right|frame|Hannah's rescuer explains his predicament.]]Hannah was not fairing much better in the snow. The effects of the cursed mark began to take their toll, and she collapsed on the mountainside. The necklace she found in the tomb began to glow, [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=6&id=66 keeping her warm]. A strange creature named [[Armin]] came by to rescue her. He told her the tale of the [[Bori]], hundreds of whom once lived within the mountain. However, a terrible, treasure-greedy beast appeared and killed many of them. Their leader, the [[Keeper of Time]], cast a spell of protection on his people, trapping them in ice. A magical gem called the Heart of the Mountain kept them safe. The monster too sought the gem, but for a different purpose. Armin was unsure what has happened to his people since. He explained that he woke up a few days before, alone, with that story running through his head. They went looking for firewood, although had to contend with the local [[Snowbeast]]s.

Kanrik joined the rest of the Thieves Guild with the sarcophagus. [[Masila]] explained to him that it contained a great monster who could fight for them - with its help, Masila and Kanrik would finally be able to overthrow Galem and seize control of the Thieves Guild themselves. Kanrik wasn't convinced at first - Galem had already defeated a previous attempt at a coup. However, Masila's sly words began to tempt him, and by the time he awoke from his sleep, he was determined to open the [[wikipedia:sarcophagus|sarcophagus]].

It could sense the presence of the Heart of the Mountain again. It attacked the thieves, aided by its soldiers made of ice. They fought all night, but there appeared to be no end in sight. However, as dawn broke, the light of the sun melted the soldiers. Galem seized his chance to broker a deal with the Bringer, offering to help him find a way into the mountain.

Masila double-crossed Kanrik and sided with Galem. Galem threatened to kill Kanrik for his betrayal, but Masila interceded and offered an alternative: banishment. She drugged Kanrik with a potion and hours later, he found himself alone in a frozen [[wikipedia:tundra|tundra]]. He headed to a light in the distance, which turned out to be Armin and Hannah's campfire. When they realised who it was, they attacked him, and during the ensuing scuffle, opened up a tunnel passage further into the mountain that had been hidden by the ice. Hannah was too weak to keep fighting, and Kanrik apologised to her - he hadn't known the tomb would curse her, and his friends had turned their back on him after he had released the demon. Realising that he meant the Bringer of the Night, Armin rushed down the tunnel they had found. They had to alert the rest of the Bori!

Armin, Kanrik, and Hannah reached the Bori's cavern at the same time as the Bringer and the thieves guild's digging crew. Around the glowing Heart of the Mountain stood the entire Bori race, frozen in ice. The Bringer summoned his icy skeleton army again, and the thieves and the Bringer fought over the Heart.

While the battle raged, Hannah found the only other Bori who wasn't frozen solid. The [[Keeper of Time]] recognised Hannah's pendant for what it was - the Keystone. The Thieves Guild had thought the Bringer was the "key to the heart", but the writing had really meant the necklace. He urged Hannah to unite the Keystone with the Heart. Her companions rallied around her as they made their way across the battlefield.

Kanrik and Galem found each other in battle and began a deadly duel in which Galem fell. Hannah reached the Heart, and just as the Bringer was about to slay her, she united the Keystone. A red mist filled the chamber and the frozen Bori were revived, the enchantment ended. The Bori joined the fray and helped drive out the thieves. Seeing the signs of trouble, Masila slipped away. The Bringer took a swing at Hannah, but struck the Heart of the Mountain. Its magic froze him solid, and Armin defeated the Bori's ancient enemy with a well placed pebble that shattered him to pieces. Without their master, the ice army melted away.
