MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ARTEMIS FOWL: THE ETERNITY CODE!!! THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!!

Chapter 1: Boarding School Blues.

Artemis Fowl's Diary, disk 20 (encrypted)
It's been a while since I found those ingenious tinted contact lenses. They provided a mystery and I'm still wondering... how? Where? Who and for what purpose? I remember it perfectly: When I washed my face, the two lenses came out of my eyes. I examined them and discovered that they had a mirrored layer behind the lens. They are still resting in my lab.

Things have changed a lot. Butler has grown older even than he was the morning back then. That dawn, when I saw him he seemed so much older than the day before. My father changed a lot too...

My dad seems to stop being a crime family now!!! He wants to start going straight!!! Why in the world? Aurum Est Potestas, do you not remember, Father? Gold is power. My dad really has changed.

I am writing this in my bed at my boarding school, which is truly boring. I knew all the curriculum years ago. Sometimes I nearly amaze myself. but I still have a long way to go.

London, England: Amarti Boarding School

Artemis woke up the next morning (before everyone else) and started thinking about an escape plan. How am I going to get out of this boarding school?, he wondered, as the youngest Fowl was still a crime-lover. He pulled out his laptop from under his bed, and started it up.

He typed and clicked away, trying to find any file, any file that could help him get out. Finally he found a simple one: Break Out of YOUR Boarding School! Looks promising, Artemis thought, as he double-clicked on it.

The file opened in record time (Artemis had programmed extra-fast fairy technology into his laptop before he got mind-wiped). Artemis read it over a few times, and decided it was the right one. All he had to do was find a few raw materials, and then he could start working on this... this mini-airplane. The only problem was the fact that the time took to make it was estimated to be three weeks.

Artemis toiled away for those three weeks, working as hard as possible, after all, he WAS a kid genius. The mini-airplane was hidden in the one wing of the school that nobody ever went to, the farthest one from wherever you started walking. He finished it one week early, and in the late night, he set off out the window (it was a big window).

Fowl Manor

The 13-year-old landed in front of his house, the Fowl Manor. Sneaking inside, he set off for Butler's room first. Artemis opened the door quietly and woke up Butler.

Butler woke up with a start. he said.
Yes, it's me, Butler. I'm back, and it's not a vacation. I would like to set off and commit some more crime without my parents burdening me. We will travel around the world and wreak havoc everywhere we step.
Butler replied, Artemis, wouldn't your parents notice I was gone?
I have already arranged for that. I have a replicator that can make a 3D sculpture of you. You can have the remote for it, and you can program it to do anything you want.
When did you make this, Artemis?, Butler asked.
I've had it for a while now, and I want to put it to some use. Do you want to do this?
Only if Juliet can come.

Juliet was Butler's little sister. She was almost as good a bodyguard as Butler, but she didn't have her blue diamond tattoo because she was always distracted. The blue diamond tattoo was the mark of the best, high-quality bodyguards, and every one in Madame Ko's school strived for a blue diamond tattoo. Artemis and Butler creeped down the hallway to wake up Juliet, who happily obliged to their circumstances. She always loved an adventure.
