Chapter 1: We Meet Again
Fowl Manor, Ireland. Artemis yawned as a new day came, its dawn gleaming on the horizon. He shivered in the morning atmosphere. The 16-year-old boy genius stepped out of his room to see his formal manservant, Domovoi, followed by his sister, Juliet, who seems to be stifling a yawn. "I want to take a walk outside, Butler." The words flew out before reaching his brain. Domovoi was wearing a surprised expression, but Artemis cannot blame him, he spent most of his time sitting in front of the computer screen plotting schemes. A rare thing even in a 16-year-old genius' activity list. He dressed himself in a T- shirt his mother bought in the market, he was even more surprised with himself, for most of his time he wore a black suit. Outside the 2 Butlers were waiting for him, Juliet carrying a tray of breakfast. Artemis picked a buttered bun and walked slowly among the gardens. When he reached the 13th patch, he bent to examine a holly bush, suddenly something stirred in his brain, Holly, have I heard that name before? Artemis searched though his brain, yes; he had heard a person named Holly. While he was trying to remember who it was, he cut off at half thought; it was like he reached a dead end in his search; yet he felt there was more, but something is blocking it. He reached to pick a berry, but before he could a creature burrowed out of the ground. He drew a sharp breath, but Butler was faster, he had already had a gun pointing at the creature's head. Artemis could make out a few features, he, or she, or whatever it is, has a long beard, teeth shaped like tomb stones, and ten stubby fingers; not the right appearance for a common mole. "Good morning to you, master Fowl. I am Mulch Diggums, fairy dwarf. At your service, sir.".
