Professor Layton and the Lost Civilisation
Prologue: The Letter
"To my good friend,
I can still remember just a few months ago when me and the professor first met Mrs Sparta at the professor's office in London. Little did we know, the events that would occur as a result of that fated meeting and the terrible crime that was committed shortly afterwards would lead us into our greatest and toughest adventure yet!"
Luke put down his pen and turned to look at the professor sitting with his eyes closed in the armchair behind him. He seemed to be deep in thought, turning over some new unknown puzzle in his mind. Luke recalled his return to London once more as the professor's apprentice just a year after their infamous time travel case and the mystery they had become involved with shortly afterwards. He picked up the pen again.
"It is hard to believe even now that it all started on that day so long ago. We received a letter from Crystal Sparta, wife to the famous and elusive millionaire Gregory Sparta who owns the entirety of Sparta Industries. Everyone had heard of her legendary beauty of course and so the professor and I were anxious to meet her in person and see it for ourselves.
The letter spoke of some form of inheritance dispute, similar to the case we had in the village all that time back. However, this promised treasure was to be rendered unimportant in comparison to the true meaning behind the journey we would be forced to embark upon! But for now, I guess I should start at the beginning.
I'd barely had enough time to prepare tea when there was a knock on the door and we heard Dean Delmona call from outside, "Professor, Mrs Crystal Sparta is here to see you!"
