Artemis Fowl
Chapter One: The Message
Since his mind had been wiped two years ago of the fairy people, Artemis Fowl had been very busy. Despite being away from Fowl Manor and at boarding school for most of the last two years, Artemis had forged five art masterpieces, bankrupted ten corporations and had "earned" over $15billion US dollars from his new software that diverted funds from others' bank accounts to his own. It would take a lot to surprise a boy like him, as Artemis simply isn't a normal fifteen year old. But as Artemis sat in his small, undecorated room finishing the pathetic rubbish that had been set as homework, the last thing he could expect to happen was about to. There was a knock at the door. A sheepish looking prefect looked round the door. Cautiously, as if checking for mines, he came in. 'Yes?' said Artemis in one of his coldest voices. 'There's a letter for you, Artemis' the prefect just about managed. He put it down quickly and practically ran from the room. Artemis usually had that effect on people. Despite himself, Artemis was curious. He never received letters. His parents, Juliet and Butler all e-mailed him on his pathetic excuse for a computer. He picked up the letter. Inside were two letters and a tiny disk covered in slightly chipped gold leaf. The first letter was labelled, 'Before the disk' and the second, 'After the disk'. He opened the first letter cautiously. It simply read:
Rightfully these are yours. Read the entire disk.
Together we will be unstoppable.
An old friend.
Curiously, he opened the second letter. It simply stated:
If you are reading this you haven't read the disk. Read it and
reclaim your legacy.
The same friend.
Artemis examined the disk and suddenly had a flash back: Just his arm snatching a coin out of the air. He shook himself and loaded the disk at 8:30pm. He had finished by 9:55, and then with his head swimming, he fainted. He came around at about 10:30, waking up properly for the first time in over two years. Artemis grinned his infamous vampire. Together they would be unstoppable.
