To My Dear Friend
So many things happened since my last letter. It begins with the visit of the Professor. We finally settled in and tried to make the house more like home. I explored the house a bit and eventually memorized the layout of the house. Father set a meeting within the Professor's schedule and we were to meet at Donna's Cafe. It is a family tradition cafe and we took a seat waiting for the Professor. "You nervous Luke?" "No, just a bit well exciting and anxious." "Well we just have to wait and see." I began looking around to see the decorations and right then saw Claire passing by the street. "Well then, it's wonderful to see you Clark." That familiar voice brought so much memories of joy, laughter, tears, and friends. I turned to see the Professor with his top hat. "It is good to see you again Professor." "Luke, you turned out to be such a refine gentlemen." "Well what do you say, I am the Professor's Apprentice." "That's nice Luke, but I am here to leave London." "What is it Herschel, having lectures across the world?" "Clark, no, something intrigued me. I received a letter from one of my students awhile back. Read this outloud Luke if I may ask." He handed the letter and it stated as this: "Dear Professor Layton, I understand you are a man of intellect and fond of puzzles. I found something which might take your interest. You might know my father, Dr. Mathew Darius, an archeologist within America. He was researching within the ruins of the Azrans inspired by your discovery of the three sites of the Azrans, and during his research he found writings of story about a city that floats across seas. If you have time, I wish to see you. Sincerely Devra Darius." "So who is Devra Professor?" "She was one of my students several years back attending one of my lessons. She was a bright young woman, always spending every time studying within class or at the library. I had to tell her to go to bed at times. Reminds me myself and my niece." "Professor, you don't have a brother?" "No, he is an old friend of mine. He came here about six years ago. He works at Scotland Yard, and gained power rapidly and is traveling an excessive amount. I was willing to care for her and she considered me as her Uncle and apparently she wants me to recognize her as my niece. She is as well comng with me to see Devra." I wanted to go with the Professor and spoke up asking him, "Professor may I come along?" "It will be wonderful for you to come Luke." "Ah my dear boy's grown up, no longer needing his parents permission." "Mother please." "Luke, I think you will like to meet her, she may be similar age as you, and here she comes." I turned and jumped up in surprise. "Claire!?" "Luke? Luke Triton! My Uncle mentioned you saying you were great help during his adventures. How could I been so blind! Uncle, the preparations have been made and we are now ready to go." "Well then I think you should leave immediately." My father spoke up. "I am having a pretty busy week and will meet several guests at my house, so I think it will be great for Luke to get out of the house." "Well then Luke, are you ready to go?" "Ready then ever." "Well then, I think it is time to say farewell." We said goodbyes and we went into the Laytonmobile. The Professor disapproves it, but Claire agrees with me. We drove off and the adventure began with the Professor, Claire, and me.
