Artemis Fowl: The Double Deception

A/N: I'm back! Here's the prologue! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Artemis Fowl and all related characters belong to Eoin Colfer. Unfortunately. If they belonged to me, maybe Arty and Co would be hanging out with Wolf in the Dargium palace. XD

WARNING! If you haven't read the Wolfish Incident, then I strongly suggest you stop RIGHT THERE and listen! This story contains SEVERE spoilers for the Wolfish Incident, and it will make a heck of a lot more sense if you read TWI first. Thank you.

(And now back to your scheduled program.)

Prologue

Once upon a time, there was a magical pony.

That is, if you can call a centaur magical. Or if you can call Foaly a pony.

Once upon a time, said magical pony magically invented a magical invention.

It really was a cool invention, so I guess it could be called magical. Even the Council couldn't deny it, it was pretty cool. Foaly would be the first to proclaim that it was the best invention in all the land.

Once upon a time, the invention was going to be used to find the MIA Recon captain: one Captain Holly Short

Once upon a time, Foaly asked Wing Commander Vinyaya, a member of the magical fairy Council, to help him test his magical invention.

Once upon a time, she said yes.

How stupid can you get?


The intent was for the machine to take them to almost exactly where Holly was. Note the use of the word intent.

In a magical world of once upon a times and happily ever afters, it probably would have ended up that way, with Foaly and Vinyaya magically appearing next to Holly, and, by Foaly's guess, the notorious Artemis Fowl II himself. It was the opinion of the Council that said criminal genius had reverted to his criminal genius ways and kidnapped Holly.

Again.

Now if you know anything about Dargium history at all, you'll know that the great-great-great-great-great- Well, you get the point- grandson of King Samart Fowle, the earlier mentioned Artemis Fowl II, had certainly not reverted to any criminal genius ways and kidnapped his best friend... Well, the word friend doesn't really fit anymore, does it?

Of course, Foaly and Vinyaya knew nothing of this. They also knew nothing of how the mysterious giant wolf who had accompanied Artemis to Haven on his last visit before Holly had disappeared, also known as Wolf, was the descendent of Castef, Samart Fowle's son's wolf protector. They also knew nothing of how Artemis and Wolf, along with some help from some other friends, had sentenced the former dictator/Prince Regent of Dargium, Seari, to a lifetime of working in the melon farms. (In case you didn't know, and you should, Dargium is famous for its delicious melons. Not that it makes it any better for Seari.)

But the biggest thing they didn't know, the big BANG in a way, was this: That Artemis and Holly were married. That Holly was queen of Dargium. And of course, the biggest thing of all.

That, after eight long years of waiting, all of Dargium was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the king' son. The heir to the throne.

Oops, did I just spill the secret?

A/N: There you have it folks! Review and I might write faster...

Off to take over the world,
