The Fairy Well

By porpierita

A/N: Hi! This is my first Artemis Fowl fan fiction so I'd appreciate it if you could write a review and tell me what you liked or disliked about this story.

This story takes place before Artemis Fowl the first book. It's about how Artemis, the child prodigy, obtains the vial of spring water from the fairy well sixty metres below the Ring of Tara (he mentions this when he is blackmailing the sprite in Ho Chi Minh City page 13).

Prologue

Fowl Manor, Dublin, Ireland

Artemis frowned as he scrolled down the page. The Internet contained such a vast amount of information; one would find it hard to sort out fact and fiction.

But Artemis wasn't just an ordinary boy. No, he was Artemis Fowl the Second, heir of the Fowl fortune and son of Irish businessman, Artemis Fowl the First. Of course, he was probably smarter than his Father, being a child prodigy, not to mention a criminal mastermind.

His Father had disappeared when the Russian Mafia had bombed the ship he was abroad, the Fowl Star, along with Butler's uncle and thousands of cans of coke. Since then, Artemis had only one goal: restore the family fortune.

At this point in time, Artemis's ocean blue eyes were scanning the page, absorbing in every detail. He paused, running his hand through his raven black hair, a thin eyebrow arching up—a big show of emotion for someone as blank as him. Then, as if coming to a conclusion, Artemis's hands began to type at such a fast rate that they were merely a blur on the keyboard.

After finishing with the keyboard, the youth smiled, giving him the appearance of a vampire. He had found it. The information needed to prove his theory; a theory that could plunge the world into a cross-species war. Of course, he didn't know of the danger he was creating for other beings at that particular moment…or maybe, he just plainly didn't care.

How was it? Please review.
