Professor Layton and the Equine Amulet

by The Maelstrom

Chapter 3 - The Letter

Professor Layton sat at his desk, reading from a thick book titled 'Mythologies and Monstrosities: A Visual Encyclopedia of Mythical Beasts' while occasionally writing something in a notebook sprawled out on the desk. Layton's head perked up when he heard the sound of a pen hit the wood of a writing desk.

"Finished writing your letter to your friend in Misthallery, Luke?" He asked as Luke finished tucking the letter in the already addressed envelope

"Sure did Professor! I'll be right back as I go mail this!" Luke replied before he stored the letter in his satchel and left the office. A minute later a slightly elderly woman wearing a cloth over her dark green hair comes in and hands the Professor a small pile of letters

"Thank you, Rosa" He remarks before putting his book down and starts shifting through the letters as Rosa begins to clean up the dust laden room. Most of the letters were memo's from the University, however, one letter, this one with the Professors name written in a much fancier way then the others, stuck out. The Professor put the rest of the mail on the table and opened the one that stuck out and read it's contents

Dear Professor,
I know it's only been two weeks since the event at the museum. However, after many hours in the library studying and research. I may have discovered something big that covers my world and the Equine Amulet.

Please respond immediately,
Tara Streinhart/ Twilight Sparkle

As the Professor put down the letter, he turned into his desk and took out a pen, some paper and began writing a response

Author's Note:

Sorry for the long wait and short chapter, inspiration for this came slow as it's the end of the school year and other things. This chapter pretty much only serves as a bridge to future chapters and as a reminder that I'm not giving this idea up

For Professor Layton, it always starts with small things. Come to think of it, it's usually that way with Twilight Sparkle too.

My only criticism is that things seemed to happen a bit fast, and they never figured out WHO tried to trade out the amulet either. It might've made more sense for Layton to deduce Sparkles true nature as well since he seems to have a knack for such things.

take your time, it's a great story so far, keep up the good work
