A/N: This is more of a prologue-ish sort of thing. Just to clear some things up before I start posting. I would hate to get reviews that say "omgsh lyk wtc r u doin?!!11! ths maeks no sens 2 me!!1!1!" =]

It has been approximately one year since Artemis Fowl and Holly Short went back in time to retrieve Jayjay the silky sifaka lemur to save Angeline Fowl.

In that one year, much has changed. The Council in Haven held a conference and decided that Artemis and Holly's friendship was growing a little too close for comfort, (though luckily for all involved the two kept the kiss to themselves), so they mind wiped Holly and Artemis. Butler was left alone, though sworn to secrecy. Everyone else involved in the Fowl adventures has been sworn to secrecy. Holly was forbidden from seeing Opal Koboi for fear of memory recovery. No1 used his magic to change their eye colors back to their original state. (How can you forget someone if you look at their eye in the mirror every day?)

Artemis has been having dreams of an oddly familiar girl, but whenever he mentions it to Butler, the big man tries to convince him to let it go. Dreams are just dreams, yes?

Opal Koboi was let out of her cell for good behavior, and although the police keep tabs on her, she is basically on her own.

Commander Root is alive and well. Why? Because the authoress said so, that's why. Don't question the authoress.

Foaly has developed a system of "shots" that have not replaced flares and pods but have helped get fairies to the surface more quickly than flares would. They are well-hidden machines similar to Mud Man elevators. The fairy walks inside, and after it pressurizes to prevent brain implosions, the shot shoots (funny how that works) them up to a hidden "docking area" aboveground.

Sebastian: Foaly

Flounder: No1

Ursula: Opal Koboi

Triton: Commander Root

Grimm: Butler

The seahorse guy: Wing Commander Vinyáya

I hope that helped. I hope to post the first chapter soon. =]
