Now Artemis may have been a genius. He may have been a prodigy. He may have been a reformed Criminal Mastermind. But he was still human. And as we all very we'll know, humans are very curious creatures. Boredom is a horrid, vile, cruel thing to experience for humans. But for Artemis Fowl boredom was the bane of his existence. So naturally when he uncovered a inereesting tidbit about the woods very close to his manor he decided to investigate.
It was believed there were creatures in that forest. Creatures of malice, and vice. But intelligent. Very much so. They said their eyes gleam with a evil genius glint. Now Artemis was desperate for some action. So he decided to go out to the forest and see for himself. Other than the evil bloodthirsty creatures, It was said to be very beautiful and filled with life.
He knew Butler wouldn't let him go alone and frankly the ever-loyal bodyguard was getting on his nerves. Protecting him even more then usual. It was just a robbery for Fronds sake! That didn't even get past the doors! So Artemis decided to go alone. After all if The People did not have any information on this 'evil creature' ( He checked ) then it must be fake. Something meant so scare children into getting to bed. Artemis devised a plan. He would simply sneak out that night. Just to watch the stars and listen to nature. He would come back very soon, and use the classic pillow and wig to make it look like he or was in bed and asleep when Butler did his rounds.
So at 10:30 PM Artemis was already on his way to the forest. It was only a short walk. 'Beautiful scenery even from here. The forest will be splendid.' When he did get there though he felt a sense of foreboding. Ignoring the useful sixth sense he trekked on enjoying the beautiful full moon. Suddenly he heard a twig snap behind him. He abruptly stopped and listened. Straining to hear anything dangerous.
When he heard nothing he walked on and emerged in a Beutiful circular clearing. The moon shone down brighter then he had ever seen it. Bathing the clearing in a silver glow. Flower so bloomed everywhere The curious thing was he had never seen anything like them. There were like miniature lilies, but a regal navy blue.
Artemis walked on into the centre of the clearing and noticed on the far side was a tree with its roots all mangled but managed to look like a shelter. Probably big enough for something about as large as the average adult German Shapard. 'Simply amazing. It's breath taking.' Thought Artemis. But then he heard that familiar *snap!* Something was definitely stalking him. He turned around very slowly. Lo and behold there was a silver she-wolf. Her baby blue eyes shined with intelligence. Human intelligence. It unnerved him. She looked at Artemis and he froze. All of a sudden it leaped at him and bit his arm.
The pain spread like wildfire. Artemis let out a blood-curdling scream and fell to the forest floor. Thrashing and kicking. He tried to scream. Oh he tried. To call for help but the pain was too great. The she-wolf looked at him with saddened, greif-filled eyes. As if to say 'I'm so sorry.' It felt as though he were being taken apart and being re-arranged. The pain went to a molecular level. Then the black came. He welcomed it. That sweet relief from this horrible experience. And with that he passed out. His last thought was ' Maybe, I'm dead.'
-The Next Morning-
Artemis woke up and opened his eyes. He immediately closed them right back. Slowly cracking his eyes open he was immediately shocked. He was not at Fowl Manor. Where was he? The events of the last night flashed through his mind. He whimpered. Wait-what? That was definitely jot right. 'Whats going on here?' Slowly he got up. He almost fell right back down. Underneath him were four pitch black paws. Something was off and he was scared. It was exteemely hard so scare a Fowl. Wobbling ver to a puddle from the rain two nights ago he yelped. Looking back at him was a big pitch black wolf. It had one ice blue eye and one hazel. Was this wolf him? There was no denying it. What had become of him?
