Author's note 1: Hi people! I'm back...with a new story. I know that you are wondering when I will update Sapphire, I just know it. To tell the truth, that story is old. Think of this as the updated version. This is updated because of the characters being boring. The original characters have now evolved into better characters now.
Author's note 2: There are NO Mary-sues in this story! The Mary-sueness of my old characters is no more.
Author's note 3: I own nothing, except the characters of: Adriana Malsparm, The Sapphire Thief, David Leale, and Mark Par (None of those will appear in this chapter)
I hope you like it.
Artemis Fowl was happy. Not because of anything most people would be happy about, but in any case he was happy. For Artemis Fowl, life had been going great after his last encounter with the Pixie Opal Koboi. His crusade to recover lost pieces of art had led him to be revered by historians and hated by private collectors as a gift to society.
He still kept in touch with the ex-LEP captain Holly Shot and Mulch Diggums who were in the private detective business. But, he fancied the job of stealing art more then helping others.
Artemis had been sitting in his large leather chair, in his office at Fowl Manor at the moment when he had gotten an email, from someone who was prepared to sell a rare masterpiece to him for a few million dollars. Artemis' attention was obviously grabbed by this mysterious contact. First, due to the fact that they, who ever they were knew what he was doing, or even who he was. Second of all, was the name at the bottom of the email. The Sapphire Thief. The title captivated him.
He had obviously heard of The Sapphire Thief, as had every other intelligent being on (or below) the planet. The Sapphire Thief had a legend matched by none other criminal in history. Maybe it was the calling card of the blue eye on the canvas, painted in pure sapphires. Or, maybe it was the fame of stealing Monet, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, and numbers of famous art works.
Tonight was the night that Artemis Fowl had arranged this meeting with the Sapphire Thief. He did not know who to expect, except that they would meet at a restaurant called Le Petite Château, in downtown Dublin, at 7:00 sharp.
Artemis knew that this might be a set up, much like the Spiro incident, but he had a good feeling about this. But as he had learned before, something will always go wrong.
In the next chapter, more characters will come into play. This is just a background chapter, so it's kind of boring.
