Hello. The name's Alex. Secret Agent Alex, to be exact. I'm here to tell you about one of my toughest cases so far. The Mercury Mystery...

It was a dark and stormy night in the quiet village of Imil, and at the time, I was busy tracking down a particularly nasty murderer. So far he had gotten Old Man Bob--he works at the local inn--, and Anne Yalia's daughter. I knew I had to find this creep before he ended any more innocent lives. At that moment, I heard a high-pitched scream coming from the south. I rushed toward the sound. My search led me to a small house on the edge of town. When I went inside, I gasped. The murderer had struck again. Mia and her grandmother were on the verge of tears as they gazed down at Mia's grandfather's dead body. Oh, boy....If this murderer wasn't stopped soon, things could really get ugly... I felt sorry for Mia, losing her grandmother and all--I had a crush on her, you know....
I asked both Mia and her grandmother what the murderer looked like. Unfortunately, they didn't know. They told me that they had gone to Mercury Lighthouse to get some Water of Hermes, and when they had come back, they had found Mia's grandfather, covered in blood. How strange...Anne Yalia had been at Mercury Lighthouse right before her daughter was killed. Same thing with Old Man Bob's wife. Somehow, someway, Mercury Lighthouse was connected with this mystery...
I headed toward Mercury Lighthouse to investigate, but when I got there, I couldn't find any clues. In fact, everything at the lighthouse seemed completely normal. Strange...very strange...
I then went back to Imil after an hour of examining the lighthouse to further investigate the scene of the crime. Mia's grandmother was still there, but Mia herself wasn't. I asked Mia's grandmother where she was. She told me that Mia had left for the sanctum half an hour ago, and hadn't returned.
Oh no....I DID go to Mercury Lighthouse, right? Could Mia have been...No! I could not let myself think such thoughts. Yet I still headed towards the sanctum to speak with Mia. On the way there, a sight met my eyes that made me gasp. Mia's lifeless body was lying on the ground, her blood staining the snow red. No...it couldn't be...! Mia..my beloved Mia..why? Why did it have to be Mia...? At that moment, I swore that the murderer wouldn't get away with this. I wouldn't let him. I ran through the streets of town, telling everybody not to go to Mercury Lighthouse. I then went back to my house to think of ways to catch the murderer.
