Here is chapter four, it is not what happens when Aurora holds the Azran keystone, it is the second half of chapter three but from Luke's perspective, when Professor Layton and Doctor Amundvic are out of the room.


Chapter four; Luke and Aurora

Luke's POV

As the Professor and Doctor Amundvic left the room to look at the stone, I turned to speak to Emmy.

"Emmy, why did you use me as a hostage back outside the Azran Sanctuary yesterday?" I asked, I couldn't keep that question in any longer.

"Luke, I'm so sorry, I never wanted things to go that far. I tried to get the Professor to stop Uncle Leon, before it was too late. But first I needed Descole to tell the Professor that they were brothers, and biologically sons of Bronev. I knew the Professor was the only person who could bring Uncle Leon to his senses, and stop obsessing about the Azran legacy. But by the time Descole did this, it was too late, we had gotten to the final room. I'm so sorry Luke. I will never do anything like that to you again." Tears began to run from her eyes.

"Well, err ... that's okay Emmy I forgive you." I understood her situation completely, the Professor had explained it to me last night, he said he figured it out himself, I bet that was his famous Layton intuition acting up.

"If only I could have stopped him, he hadn't spoken to me on the phone about anything other than the Azran and what the Professor was doing, never even asked how I was or anything. But he was the one that took me in when I needed a guardian most. So, I am forever indebted to him." She said as she wiped th tears from her face with her good hand.

"When did he tell you that he had two sons which had abandoned Emmy?" I asked.

"On my eighteenth birthday, I knew nothing of the Professor before that. Six years later, Leon contacted Dean Delmona, to ask if I could become the Professor's assistant, and I met you on them first day of the job. I had to regularly write letters to Uncle Leon to tell him of my findings. I could only phone him once I had the Professor's trust, which was easy, as 'a true gentleman should always trust a lady' is what the Professor told me."

"When did you first hear about Targent?" I asked, with my curiosity peaking, despite the urge to ask Aurora the question that I had been dying to for weeks now, I didn't want to seem like I was bombarding Emmy with questions about her life either.

"As you can imagine Luke, Targent have been in my life since day one with Uncle Leon, I could never imagine my life without them now. And now they're no more, like Uncle Leon."

"But at least we know that Aurora should be safe from being stabbed or kidnapped now."

"Well, I never liked the ways they carried out their business anyway. But I will miss Uncle Leon." She said sobbing, meanwhile, Aurora looked crestfallen.

I turned to speak to Aurora, who had been stabbed by Bronev to unleash the deadly Azran legacy, and later killed Bronev under his command too.

"Aurora," I asked, "Were you telling the truth when you told us you were a 'golem'?" I was really, really hoping that she somehow wasn't an Azran golem, but a human. I knew that was very unlikely. As the Professor had said, here had to be a catch somewhere, nobody live for 1.2 million years. I just wanted to her to be normal.

"I'm sorry Luke, I'm not sure, and I just can't remember who I really am, besides being the Azran messenger, I remember nothing of the Azran, other than their structures around the world."

"Oh, okay."

"You know Luke, I am starting to feel different emotions, ever since I stabbed Leon Bronev. When I was in the Azran sanctuary, I could feel the Azran calling me and giving me instructions, I can no longer feel that."

"But that's probably because we're in a hospital, rather than the Azran sanctuary." I said.

"You know Luke, over our travels together, I began to feel attached to you, Emmy, and the Professors. I think all four of you are remarkable people."

"Thanks Aurora." Emmy, who had stopped crying for now, chipped in.

"Wow, well um, thanks Aurora. Listen, I have wanted to say something to you for a while, well ever since we got you out of the ice…" I noticed that Emmy was beginning to smirk, as I felt myself turn red. "Um, if you survive, will you be my friend?" I stuttered, that didn't turn out well, I couldn't get the words out that I wanted to Aurora, especially with Emmy watching.

"Of course Luke, I have been your friend throughout our travels." She replied, smiling. At the same time, Emmy let out a muffled giggle.

I was quite annoyed with myself for not being able to spit out my true feeling of love for Aurora. But I just couldn't say something like that at a time like this, with her weak, and in a hospital bed, and with Emmy watching closely.

I tried to hide my blushes as the Professor and the Doctor walked back in to the room with the familiar Keystone, he handed it to Aurora.


Well, that was the second half of chapter three from Luke's perspective. Wasn't very long, only took me an hour to type.

Chapter five will finally feature Aurora spilling the beans about the Azran, and her. Shouldn't take too long, I'm still banned from Miiverse. :(
