14Artemis woke up in a spacious room.
"D'arvit, Mud Whelp we can't even call you without something happening" the fairies, glared at Artemis
"Arty who are these- ahh small people?" Artemis Senior asks as the fairies turn around and realize they are accompanied by other people other than Artemis and his family.
"Oh hello to you too Captain, Commander and Foaly," said a small figure from the other end of the room.
"That is Commander to you, Stinky but nice to see you" Holly retorts
"Mulch will you please go somewhere else away from me, you stink," Juliet said as she got up and hugged Holly,
"Good to see you Holly, when was the last time you visited?" Juliet inquiries Holly as she let's go of the elf
"about 2 years ago"
"You really should visit more often then!" Juliet exclaims, Holly glares at Trouble.
"may I interrupt your friendly reunion, but may I ask who you are, and how do you know Artemis, Butler, and Juliet?" Artemis Fowl Senior asks.
"Father this is a long story that is for another time-" Artemis Jr. starts but is cut off by Holly.
"That I would love to cut short, he kidnapped me at 12 and ransomed me against my own people for one metric ton of gold, he got that gold and then that created a domino effect, of disasters."
"Where was I when this happened?"Angeline asked already afraid of the answer.
Artemis looked uncomfortable and then replied
"you were mentally ill, Mother, Commander Short healed for half a ton of gold" Angeline sighed and looked sadly at Artemis (a junior of course) but then turned to look at Holly
"Thank you, Holly, are you okay with me calling you Holly?"
"oh of course "
"Call me Angeline but thank you for healing me and turning my little Arty into the good man we see before us" Artemis Sr. Clears his throat, the two women turn to look at him, so does everyone else.
"Please will someone explain this situation? Why are we here?"
"Um, I may have an explanation, but it is sorta outlandish," said Artemis
"Arty after all we have been through it would be really hard to surprise me now spill it, " Holly playfully hit his shoulder. Angeline smiled at this.
" It's simple we have traveled dimensions again"
"D'arvit, Fowl you really are a magnet for trouble"
"no, Trouble is right there," said Artemis pointing at Trouble Kelp
The fairies and Butlers laugh, though his family and Minerva look puzzled.
"Arty, will you explain what is happen ing?" Myles asks looking quizzing at Artemis and the fairies.
" Myles-" a poof of gold dust and a pile of books appeared on a table in front of them.
"Okay, how in Fronds name did that happen?" Exclaims Holly after she and Trouble reflexively pulled out their guns in unison.
"Okay, please lower those dangerous looking guns and explain this to us," said Artemis Fowl senior.
"Do you work for the police force? I can see that you have weapons and Artemis referred" Myles looks at Holly "to you as commander, and you have some sort of badge on your shoulder"
"Yep, you are Artemis's brother alright" pipes up Mulch and Foaly at the same time.
"Artemis, I think this has your name on it," says N.1, gesturing to the pile as he was the closest.
It did indeed have his name on it. Artemis flips through the pages and sighs.
"Yes, what is written here is true." Artemis looks around and to his surprise, there were chairs and sofas all over the room.
"Well, I guess we have to read this," said Qwan as he too read the titles.
"I will start reading," said Artemis.
"Prologue
How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis's own intelligence. He bamboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals.
There is no doubt that Artemis is a child prodigy. But why does someone of such brilliance dedicate himself to criminal activities?
His father looked at Artemis and hangs his head.
" Yes, Artemis why criminal activities?" asks Trouble.
Artemis smiles slyly proving the point in the next sentence
This is a question that can be answered by only one person. And he delights in not talking.
"Lies!" shouted Holly and Juliet
Perhaps the best way to create an accurate picture of Artemis is to tell the by now famous account of his first villainous venture. I have put together this report from first-hand interviews with the victims, and as the tale unfolds you will realize that this was not easy.
The story began several years ago at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Artemis Fowl had devised a plan to restore his family's fortune. A plan that could topple civilizations and plunge the planet into a cross-species war.
He was twelve years old at the time …
Artemis Sr., Angeline, the twins, and Minerva at Artemis as though they have seen him for the first time, or well the twins and Minerva did.
"Where was I, when this happened?" asked Angeline,
