The feeling of the wind in my face after so long was amazing. I slid the wings back in their slot, and dove down as fast as possible. When the ground came close, I let my wings back out, and flew back up last minute.

"Don't have too much fun Holly. You know you have to get back soon."

I rolled my eyes. "Foaly we go through this every time. If your so smart as you always claim you are. Then you should be able to predict my actions when I'm on field."

Foaly snorted. "Yeah you can think that all you want. Holly short is soooo predictable when she's on a mission for anything even something simple like picking trash of the floor. If you didn't hear the sarcasm here's a hint. I was being sarcastic!"

I jerked my head to the side at each word. "For Fronds' sake Foaly quit yelling in my ear."

"Anyway there's a plane coming lower your altitude."

"Foaly, the humans already know we exists for I don't know like 3 freakin months if you haven't caught up with the program, I suggest get over it already."

Foaly gave a snide look straight into the cammra connected to my visor.

"Its just a bad habit. Don't you start to. I've had enough of trouble nagging at my back 24/7."

I hit mute as Foaly continued to ramble on. When he stopped I turned the Mic back on.

"You done whining big baby."

"Oh shut up. Anyways since your going in the total opposite direction of where you came, your headed to Fowl' s house, aren't you."

I rolled my eyes. "Foaly how long have we been going through this. Im tired of having this conversation with you. When I go to the surface for a mission, I see Artemis when I'm done. Is that clear enough for you."

Foaly snorted which seemed amazing since he wasn't all half horse anymore. A few years after the last adventure with Artemis things started happening with the fairy race. Elves were getting taller, centaurs were losing there horse half, goblins became less ugly, gnomes' back sides weren't as big, pixies were getting taller but flawless all the same, sprites also got bigger so did their wings, but they were still green, and water sprites didn't have to always be underwater and are able to be breathe oxygen also, dwarves lost most of their talents and were thankfully less dirty and ably to clean themselves, and demons were kind of the same but bigger, they are now able to morf to and from human form.

So many things have changed. I thought more of it over as I made it to Artemis' study window. I gave a knock and smiled as Artemis came to the window.

He seemed a little agitated, he opened the window and tried his best to look happy.

"How's my favorite mudboy." The strained smile fell off his face, and turned into a scowl so deep beyond his current age.

"I am not. In the mood."

He walked away from the window and sat at his desk chair.

"Well someone's in a bad mood. What's up with you."

Artemis put a hand up to his face and started squeezing the bridge of his nose, and he sighed.

"My mother arranged a date for me because she thinks is I have no love life, and that if ones there it's dying."

"Well thats something I can agree with. Your love life is dead, or dying. You should get out more. You going on the date."

Artemis rolled his eyes no, I called and cancelled. Turns out her mother forced her to go on the date also."

"You mean you both found something you had in common like your life obsessed mothers, and fell in love anyway."

Artemis gave an unamused look.

"No we found out that are mothers are both friends, and tried to hook up their single children, and became well acquainted with one another to try to be friends, if we ever find the time. Which I highly doubt."

"You know what I take it back. Your love life is dead."

Artemis sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"If you think this conversation is over, you thought wrong."

Artemis covered a his face with his hand and groaned.

"Okay let's see. What do you look for in a girl."

"She has to be smart-"

"Aint wrong. If you were going to say smart, funny and pretty your wrong. That's what all guys say, they don't actually know what they want. Just find a girl and accept her for who she is."

"Holly that's really really bad advice."

Foaly happened to probably get a hold of one of Artemis' computers because he happened to be on one.

"Drop the intervention for now I got terrible news."

Foaly seemed to be sweating.

"From c Foaly, you look lile you've been through a hell of a beer wave. How bad can this news be. What is Opal back or something." I started laughing and Artemis chuckled a little. Foaly didn't say anything.

"You mean Opal' s back!" Artemis seemed a little lost at thought.

"That's impossible. She's dead

Foaly was shaking. Something was up, he looked over at something like it was probably another screen. He shook his head nimbly at the other screen.

"Foaly, how do you know Opals alive." Maybe he was just freaking out, and its a false alarm. Maybe he's just pulling our legs.

He clicked something, and his screen went away.

"Miss me."

It was her. I froze. I couldn't talk move or speak.

"What no response Holly, Artemis. After all we been through you didn't miss me. I'm hurt." Opal smirked. "So much has changed these last few years I've been gone. Seems like I really didn't need that gland implanted after all. I just needed to wait till the evolution."

Artemis spoke for the first time, in this situation.

"What do you want Opal."

Opal put a finger to her chin. "Hmm let's see. I want…you and your friends dead and…I think that's about it. Being dead really changes you ya'know. I don't think I want the world anymore. Just a life with out you and your friends dead, a happy life if you ask me."

Artemis seemed to keep his calm. "How are you still alive."

Opal sighed. "Of course you'd ask that question. Well I won't tell you, Artemis lofted an eyebrow. "But I know someone who does."

Foaly spoke after being silent for a while. I was so caught up with Opal I didn't see a small visor with Foaly on it.

"What do you mean by someone knows. None of us know who could it be."

Opal smiled. "Oh Foaly you know who she is." Opal clicked something and a video of a fairy girl that was an elf, had unrealistically rich dark brown caramel hair, and deep emerald eyes.

Foaly's eyes went wide. "Rose! She can't possibly know it can't be her. It's impossible. Sure she's smart but she's not that smart. She's young and immature."

Opal seemed to smile even bigger. "Well that might be the point. I've been watching her for a while after I came back. She's way smarter then she lets on. I admire her and her work. That hair of hers is so pretty, and her skin glows. I need to know her secret, but not now. Their are more important things I need from her first."

Artemis narrowed his eyes. "Like what."

"Impdortant things like ancient fairy history, and I don't mean the battle of Frond. I mean way before that. Rose has a secret lab in her basement, where she does all of her work. She's been working on some things, but I can't tell you what now can I. Opal cocked her head to the side.

I snarled, but said nothing. Opal had a snide look of triumph on her face, but when I get a hold of her, Ile wipe that look clean off her face.

"Long story short I have to get a hold of her. Good bye."

Opal went off the screen. And Foaly' s got bigger filling up the screen.

Artemis looked at Foaly Intently. "Who's Rose."

Foaly gave a worried look. "She's the youngest commander, appointed recently. In human years she'd be about your age, but that's really young for a commander. If she was a normal officer like Holly shed be a captain if she was good, or a private. She's the commander of B.L.R.F. or as L.E.P. officers call it. Blerf. They would be what you would call a biomedical engineer, or anything under bio med. They study fairies for new medicine and other important things dealing with the new evolution of the fairy race. It's a new thing the council came up with after the evolution. She surprisingly seem to catch on fast and excel in the task better than everyone. So they appointed her commander, but I have to supervise over her decisions, and other things since she's so young."

Artemis seemed to form a plan. "Well we'll have to get a hold of her before Opal does. Looks lile were going for another adventure."

I punched Artemis in the arm since I was now at his shoulder in height after the evolution of the fairies. "And this one's not your fault this time."

He rolled his eyes.
