Artemis sat at his computer, researching some Internet files on the initials T. S. but finding nothing. "Well, I might as well get to work collecting those items..." he sighed, putting his computer to sleep and getting up from the chair. He flicked off the lights of his study, glanced back before closing the door, and thought he saw the faint red light of a camera. He shrugged it off and headed downstairs for dinner.
Meanwhile, underground, Foaly was researching the computer's database files on all the criminals of Haven, and saw a lot of names with the initials T. S., as in: Tanya Stanchovich, Tom Stanli, Tora Stanli, (brother/sister crime team) and Tayara Salyinia (pronounced SAL-in-ee-a), but the one that really caught his eye was the most notorious fairy in all of the Underground: Terra Stailer. She had few friends, and was almost always by herself. Her eyes never changed, they stayed the same color all the time: Black. Cold, dark eyes, black as night, they were uncommon in fairies, although a special few had them. She had been a renegade fairy, always causing trouble and stealing something valuable from the bank or safe. The LEP had kept very close watch on her, but she was always had been one step ahead, hiding somewhere else right before they found her. It was very frustrating sometimes, but she had mysteriously disappeared from Haven about six years ago, and no one knew why. There had never been a word spoken about Terra since, although the People were always on the lookout for her return. This mysterious letter had aroused Foaly's curiosity about Terra's disappearance, and he read it with interest. He spoke to himself in mystified tones, saying, "Hmmm, so they need a perfect diamond, fairy's magic, and a black eagle's feather? Well, here it says that I would know about the vile of magic, and what a coincidence, I do happen to have some in my lab. How odd that they would know about my experiments in magic and potions... Anyway, I'll have to do something about that soon." He read the letter one last time before he set off to tell the Commander the new information, not noticing the almost inaudible blip of a camera upon closing the door behind him.
*~*Somewhere deep inside a mountain...*~*
"Well, you think you know who it is, don't you Foaly? You may be right, but I am a lot stronger now than I was six years ago..." The dark voice cackled insanely and gradually died away, leaving the presence of danger and death behind...
