A/N I like writing :). That is why I'm writing fanfictions. Read my new other story I made. AF and the Curse of the Condemned I think it is awesome… just awesome.

Disclaimer: I don't own Artemis Fowl and/or Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Chapter 10

The Quest

Someone had searched through the Athena cabin, mostly through Artemis's bunk. Artemis could tell someone had searched through it because the drawers were open, there were dirty footsteps, and all the pockets in the clothes were all open. Now only one question remains, who did this? Unfortunately, the rest of the Athena came back from archery class and screamed at him, "What have you done, new kid?"

Someone else growled, "I bet this is just a joke coming from the Hermes side."

Artemis said, "I swear I didn't do this!"

"Then swear on the River Styx!" Another cabinmate shouted.

"Okay… I swear on the River Styx, then," Artemis said.

"He's not lying because he would have died on the spot if he did lie. Not even crossed fingers could prevent it," one of Athena's daughters inquired.

"Then who did it, Mary?" Someone asked.

"I bet Aesop would know," another person said.

Artemis got curious, "Who's Aesop?"

They all gasped, "You never heard of his fables?"

"Oh, him," Artemis replied still unsure who Aesop was. He apparently didn't know who Aesop is.

"He was a famous Greek poet," someone inquired.

"And an Athena's son!" someone added.

"Yeah, he wrote the Tortoise and the Hare, the Rooster and the Jewel, the Snake and the Dove, all of those," another one inquired.

Artemis searched through his stuff, it seems nothing was missing. He tapped his bracelet/sword, αυτοκρατορικός, just in case. Artemis looked in his drawer. Only the transmitter ring was missing. Unfortunately, he had left the ring in the drawer after the shower. He forgot to put it back on. Amazingly, everything else was in there. He thought back to Opal… it can't be can it? No, she wouldn't be so reckless and leave clues everywhere. Would she? No…

Then who did this? Artemis, the goddess? Opal? Who? Artemis was called to the Big House. He was told that he had to choose two adventurers with him for this quest. Artemis decided he would choose the old team, Butler and Holly. Shortly after the meeting, they set off. Impossibly true, Artemis Fowl was going on a quest with nothing but two helpers and a bracelet sword.

That's when they met their first obstacle, the crazy harpies still outside of camp. Apparently, they haven't forgiven Artemis for protecting their food. When they just got out of camp, they dived. Holly intercepted their dive and sliced one in half. Artemis stared at her with his mouth open. Butler chortled and sliced up another three harpies that were pursuing them. Before long, all the harpies were just a big pile of dust. They continued on their way. That's when they realized that they didn't know where to go. Fortunately No1, now a demon; not an imp, appeared before their eyes. He said, "Hey, guys… I think you need to go west to California."

Then he disappeared before they could ask him any questions. He seemed more nervous than usual. How did he know where to go? Why did he appear and disappear so suddenly? Artemis thought he was going crazy.

They went to the LaGuardia Airport that was a few miles away. When they stopped there, they met their second obstacle, Empousai. The she-demons lunged themselves at Artemis, Holly, and Butler. One had enough time to say, "Powerful demigod, we will avenge you!" before Artemis sliced it in half. Startled by that comment, Artemis dropped his sword. A few seconds later, it reappeared in his hand, just as Anaklusmos reappeared in Percy's pocket. He realigned his grip and sliced two more Empousai. Unfortunately, one of the she-demons cut his arm and he fell.

Holly screamed, "No!"

A big shadow closed around Artemis and he fainted.

When Artemis reawaked, he was in a big metal bird cage. He looked down from the cage and he saw something. As the haze in his eyes cleared, he gasped. He saw No1 with none other than -

A/N Evil cliffie, eh? I'm sorry :3 I can tell you know who this is! Review on this and my other story!
