A/N: And I'm back in the world of fanfiction! I know I've been gone for a long time, but I've been busy as hell. And I know, I know, this isn't an update for Artemis Fowl Hits America or Inside Jokes. Sorry about that. I wanted to give this a try. I know it's crappy, you don't have to tell me that. And I know it's short, but it IS a prolouge. I think you can forgive me for the shortness. The plotline for this? There isn't a huge one. Yet. There will be a plot, I just haven't figured it out completly yet. Uhhhh... What else... that's about it! Enjoy the begining to my new story, Our Last Hope.

Disclaimer: I don't own Artemis Fowl or Percy Jackson. Sorry, I couldn't think of any funny ones today.


Prolouge: Time to Save the World Again

"What?" asked Holly, dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, what?" Foaly said. "I can't be any simpler than that. The Greek gods and goddesses are real."

"How did I NOT know about this?" Holly asked. "And why do you bring it up now?"

"Frankly, I didn't know they existed either, until yesterday, that is. And why do I bring it up? Because there's a slight problem…"

"Are you telling me I'm going on another edge-of-the-seat adventure? And please tell me I'll have Artemis's help."

"You'll have Artemis's help, all right, weather he wants to give it or not. Believe it or not, this involves him too," Foaly said, navigating through his computer files to pull up a picture of Artemis Fowl II.

"How does it involve him?" Holly asked, slightly concerned for her friend.

"Because he deserves to know who his real mom is. Angeline Fowl is not his mother," Foaly said. "Athena, the goddess of wisdom, has claimed him. And for reasons I'm not able to explain, the rest of this whole darn mythical Greek population can't get a hold of him. I was contacted by another centaur, one named Chiron. Apparently, he knows all about the People, though he's the only one."

"What do they want with Artemis? Why can't they just leave him be?" Holly asked. "It's not like they cared about him before."

"A camp that recruits children of the gods is in danger. They think he can save him, being as smart as he is. Without this camp being able to fight, the whole world will be destroyed by an evil… I honestly don't know enough about Greek mythology to say what… named Gaea. Mother Earth." Foaly shook his head. "It's all ridiculous. But I, however, don't want the world to end. I don't know about you."

"I'll help," said Holly reluctantly. "Although someone's gonna have to explain this whole Greek mythology thing to me."

"I'm sure Arty will talk your ear off about it… Once you convince him that you're telling the truth," Foaly said, refusing to meet Holly's eyes.

"Damn it!" Holly cursed, punching Foaly in the shoulder. "You mean to say that I have to tell Artemis Angeline isn't his real mother? Thanks for saving me the fun part, Donkey Boy."

"Hey! Watch it! Centaurs are sensitive!" Foaly whined. "And besides, you're his best friend. He'll take it best from you."

"I suppose so," grumbled Holly. She grabbed a pair of wings off a rack on the wall. "But if you're wrong, Foaly, I swear, you'll wish you've never been born." And with that, she took off to Fowl Manor to relate the grim news.
