You speak to me
I know this will be temporary
You ask to leave,
But I can tell you that I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go
Step up to me
I know that you've got something buried
I'll set you free
You set conditions, but I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go
Come back home, won't you come back home?
You step in line, you got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah, it comes and goes
A step in time, yeah it's a lot to move
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be, but I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go
I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

Artemis Fowl II sat at his study, staring into space. Or rather time.
How did Opal Koboi's scheme end up? he was wondering.
"If there were two Opal Kobois out there, that meant that sometime in the future, Opal- from- the- past would go back into the past, to be able to stay in the future, being that the- original- Opal Koboi sticking with normal time, yet have gone to the future in the past, making it that the future( or rather now current- time) would consist of Opal Koboi of- the- past and current- time Opal Koboi."
He sighed. This was an idea that Holly came up with. "The only possible answer," she had said.
She was wrong, of course. As usual. Like the time she thought Artemis liked her, back when she was in her teenager body.
Sure, he did. But strictly in the platonic sense. Artemis never did and never would like Holly Short. Yeah, they were good friends, but it would stay at that. He may have thought of being with Holly, once, for sure, but that was when Minerva went missing and his mother was fatally ill with god (or gods) - knew- what- sickness and he felt so lost and had slight Opal-itis (craziness caused by Opal Koboi). Granted, Minerva was still missing now, but at least he was thinking normally, after knowing his mother wasn't actually sick, but just possessed by- who else?- Opal Koboi. Which wasn't a good thing, but still an improvement.
Also, he was sure Opal Koboi had something to do with Minerva's disappearance.
Anyway, he knew better than to blame Holly for the kiss that happened "ten" years ago. She didn't even like him. Well, that way. That was her stupid teenager body in control.
So basically, he had another theory.
What if Opal got her lemur and gained control of time? What if, all along, there had been a few Opal Kobois running around (on the face of the earth and otherwise)? What if Opal was, and had always been, the king of the board, whereas he and the fairies merely pawns? What if- ? What if…
His idea would no doubt be the correct one.
Come to think of it, Holly's idea wasn't too bad either. Clearly, he had started to rub off on Holly. His intelligence, that is.
Oops, that was off topic!… Hang on… and what was the topic?
What was WITH him these days? His head wouldn't, just wouldn't obey him these days. He suddenly thought of the Greek god Zeus when Athena was growing inside his head.
Well, that was a nice thought, him being a god, and a king at that (don't mind his name; Artemis was a female goddess).
But the point was…
What was Opal Koboi up to? Artemis, for the second time in his whole life (the first time being after he was mind- wiped), had no idea.
Opal the menace, what are you?
And what happened to him?
REVIEW!!
