10-4-13: An ominous mist over Parapa Bay

To whom this may concern,

An ominous mist has fallen over Parapa Bay, and the citizens in Rauru Town have been attacked by creatures coming from this very mist. I have already sent a few of my bravest knights to investigate the mist, but none have returned yet. This is why I have sent you this letter. I need your help investigating this mist and figuring out what's behind it. If you are to return, you will be rewarded with 1000 Rupees and two Magic Shields. It is important that I know what exactly lies in that mist. I fear that its very presence may be a foreshadowing of darker things to come.
