The Next Day
Artemis sat on the dining table, his brow furrowed. The plan he had given so much thought about was, as usual, perfect. But they would need fairy assistance, which was going to be hard to get.
"Problems, Master Fowl?" said a sweet voice.
Artemis looked up. Cyrenela stood at the doorway, wearing an auburn nightgown. Artemis gaped absently.
"Madam..." he said dully.
"Yes," she replied innocently.
"Could you please change your clothes?"
She raised her eyebrow as if this was a ridiculous request. "Is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"N-no, you just make me feel..." He was spared from saying the word uncomfortable by Butler and Juliet entering the room.
He almost sighed in relief, fortunately he managed to resist. He glanced at them for a second, and when he turned back, he was surprised.
Cyrenela had changed her clothing, not to mention her aura. Now, she wore a skirt just above her knees, a sleeveless Polo shirt, and high heeled shoes. Her hair, which was laid loose before, is now placed on a high ponytail. And now, she represented Elegance, she wore all her garments with the color black.
Business is definitely around the atmosphere. Artemis and the others sat themselves, and waited for the boy to start.
"I have a plan, but there's a problem in getting the resources."
Cyrenela nodded and smiled, "Ah, so that's what was bothering you earlier."
"Yes," he hesitated a bit. "We need the help of the People, more accurately, the LEP."
Butler did not even tried to have second thoughts. "You know, Artemis. That what we need is extremely-
"Perfectly possible," Cyrenela stated.
Butler and Artemis stared at her, while Juliet, unfortunately...isn't sure of what's going on.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Well, let's just say I know them...and they know me," she paused. "In a special kind of way."
Artemis was about to ask more questions but she said, "I will try to persuade our underground friends, I'll be back in a few hours." She then stood up.
Artemis sneered, "And how do you think are you going to Haven?"
She peered at him, her black eyes lightening, until it turned into silver, representing magic. "By my own ways."
She morphed into an animal, a silver wolf. The others were quite astounded. The wolf's appearance was surreal, but Cyrenela's eyes never seem to change, it still presented a wise and deep appearance. The figure nimbly jumped out of the open window, Artemis and the Butlers rushed towards it, at the light of the moon, they saw her silver figure running of into the distance until it completely disappeared.
"Why hadn't I thought of that?" Artemis uttered.
Haven
"CAPTAIN SHORT!" bellowed the LEP's one and only commander, Julius Root.
Holly clambered over, "Yes commander?"
"We need to send you aboveground, Foaly received an e-mail saying this someone wants to see you," Root said.
Holly wasn't quite sure, ? Does it seem strange that this someone wants me to come aboveground? I mean, I could be sure it's a Mud man!"
Root glared at her, "Do you think we're stupid? We know it's a Mud man, that's why we're sending you...with some wiping equipment."
"Oh," Holly muttered. She almost slapped herself for assuming right away that they were merely sending her out there just to talk.
"Yes, now go straight to the ponyboy, he'll give you the equipment you need," after that, he walked away, yelling at some unfortunate officers.
After gazing into space a moment, Holly went to the Ops Booth, where the ponyboy is.
"Holly! You up with the mission?" greeted Foaly the moment she entered the booth.
"Yeah, I'm up for it. What do you have for me?"
Foaly trotted over to a pile wires, rummaging through it he emerged with what seemed like a pair of tinted glasses. Holly wasn't really impressed.
"Uh, am I suppose to walk there and act as if I'm blind or something?"
The centaur snorted. "These glasses are designed perfectly for x-ray vision; it could also sense body heat, like your visor."
Holly was still unconvinced; Foaly noticed this and decided to get straight to the point. "It will show everything in every vision imaginable. I added a special feature where it will show possible hostility and possible ally. I thought of it after Grub shot Trouble, thinking he's the goblin," he paused to savor Holly's reaction. "Happy?"
"Just one question. How am I suppose to change the mode?" the glasses seemed normal, no wires whatsoever just plain glasses.
"That's something I am wholly proud of. Mind-sensitive. See those sensors? When you put them on, they react through what you're thinking."
Holly snatched them from his hands, putting them on. Ally she thought, her vision changed; she could see Foaly's figure with a white aura. She looked at a different direction; she saw numerous small figures, after wondering for a moment, she realized they were almost everyone in the city of Haven. She took them off and smiled at Foaly.
"I'd say I'm a bit impress," she admitted.
"Sure, here's the wiping equipment, it's most likely that our guest is alone. But if you find out that they aren't, just say so and we have a full team ready to back you up."
Holly grunted, and then a thought suddenly crossed her mind. "Foaly? What if whoever this is, a friend?"
Foaly let out a laugh, "That's almost impossible!"
"How impossible?"
He pondered for a second, "Almost how possible it is for the chance that the People and the Mud men will ever live together again."
"Okay, where am I suppose to go anyways?"
"Ireland," he simply said.
Holly did a double take, "Ireland? Could it be-
"Let's not think about it, sometimes when we do that. It happens."
Holly nodded, on her way to Ireland however. She thought about it a great deal.
Ireland (wilderness)
Holly hid between a thorn bush, wearing the multi-use glasses he looked around. The vision, being based on body heat showed animals. No Mud men so far, just some deer, birds...mostly owls and a lone wolf, nothing interesting.
She decided to experiment with Foaly's new gadget, switching every now and then. She had thought of every mode she can think of and finally decided to switch back to heat censored.
She stilled, the wolf was now just behind the bush. She thought ally, and to her surprise the wolf was white, but you couldn't be sure with newly made equipment.
It moved around the bush and was soon beside her. Holly was caught off-guard by it's elegance. Pulling off the glasses, she found herself reaching a hand out to touch its muzzle.
It took a step closer, and pretty soon she found herself stroking it like an adorable pet, while the wolf seemed to enjoy the attention, closing its eyes and snuggling closer.
Animals are more civilized than humans, Holly thought, they only take what they need, not what they want.
She examined her animal friend, its glossy coat was smooth and silver, highly unusual for a wild animal. It's eyes could almost convince you that it's a person....which it turned into a moment later.
Holly shrieked in surprise, a human girl now stood before her. Like the wolf, her clothes were silver and the eyes were the same.
"Y-you..." she stammered
"So Captain Short, we meet at last." Holly had her mouth open.
Cyrenela decided to go straight into explaining, "I am Cyrenela Arlene Perfecto, and I was also the one who sent the message."
Perfect, perfecto...the name sounds familiar...Holly racked her brain, they had this in History lessons, too bad she didn't pay much attention...
She noticed Holly's expression, one who is deep in thought, and she also knew what she's thinking.
"Perfecto and Fectnoperi is alike, in case that helps you remember," she looked at Holly with her silver eyes.
Holly did remember. Fectnoperi, is the only human the People fully trusted, but that wasn't what really surprised Holly. Fectnoperi disappeared, her disappearance's reason is unknown. Foaly himself tried to find the answer, thinking that in doing so, he will receive appreciation from the Council, for they themselves couldn't figure it out, not to mention their ancestors who lived in her time. As she was human she's...
"You're supposed to be dead," Holly muttered absently.
"Why? I haven't met any fatal accidents, I am sure. Why would I be dead?"
"Oh I don't know. You're a human, and being a human you only live to about 80 years or something, definitely not a few centuries!" Holly cried sarcastically.
"Where did you ever get the idea that I died?" she replied, walking away. Holly followed her.
"You're just supposed to be dead, humans don't live forever and you..." she stared at her. "You're still a teenager..."
"I am," she declared. "And Captain, are you sure you would want to leave LEP equipment lying around for any passerby to see?"
Holly glared at her, Cyrenela raised her eyebrows, "Well?"
Muttering under her breath, Holly strutted over to the thorn bush, after grabbing her things roughly she walked back, still glaring daggers. Cyrenela regarded her with amusement.
"What?"
"It's funny, how such a diminutive elf could seem so threatening," she commented.
Holly was highly offended, especially by the word 'diminutive'.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, or you would already be snoring like a baby," she growled.
Cyrenela chuckled, "Hardly."
Holly fumed silently, then she had a thoughtful look. "Just a thought. But why'd you remind me of the LEP stuff? You could've sold them and earned quite a profit you know."
Now it was Cyrenela's turn to be offended, though she displayed this without means of violence. "Not all humans are like that, Captain. And I assure you that I'm no way near that low just to seek profit."
Holly opened her mouth to say something but was cut short by the sudden awareness that she may have been conversing with an enemy, when she should be wiping their memories.
"I am not an enemy," she said firmly.
"I didn't say anything," Holly retorted.
"But you thought of it, and that's even worse. Thinking a person's not good when you don't even know them well enough."
"You could read my mind?" Holly asked.
"Yes," she simply said. "Now, if you don't mind. I really think we should move to a safer and more private area."
Holly's eyes narrowed. "Where is this area actually located?"
"Still in Ireland, not to worry."
She wasn't perturbed, "Where in Ireland?"
"Dublin." Holly, being tired of her stalling yelled, "JUST SAY IT!"
Cyrenela didn't wince, she answered her question, that was the next thing she was about to say anyways. "Fowl Manor."
Holly's eyes widened at the mention of the two words.
"No."
"Yes."
"You can't make me," she said stiffly.
"Yes I can, I could do anything," Cyrenela replied almost cheerfully.
"You're crazy, no one can do anything, not even you."
Cyrenela rubbed her brow, she was extremely tired. Who wouldn't when you hadn't slept nor ate for days? She had spent those days seeking for her lost friends. And the situation at hand isn't helping.
"Captain Short," she breathed. "I am tired, now, would you please just agree with me? If you want an explanation, I would be happy to give them at a more preferable time."
Holly growled in her throat, and stiffly nodded.
Cyrenela gave a sigh of thankfulness. "Good. Now, how would you like to travel?"
Holly had a confused expression on her face.
"By air or by land?" Cyrenela slowly said, tired of having to do all of the explaining.
"Uh, which is faster?"
"By air of course."
"You're not going to make me carry you, are you?" Holly said.
She shook her head, "Honestly, Captain. I figured that with your high position on the LEP, you'd be more aware of my abilities."
Holly's face was a clutter of confusion. If Cyrenela wasn't as we call perfect, she might be tearing her hair out by now, which she is greatly avoiding to do.
"It is I who will carry you."
"WHAT?" Holly yelled out loud. "How could you expect to carry me with your malnourished arms? I bet you won't even be able to carry a baby at your state! NO, I'll carry you if I have to!"
"I assure you that I am able," she calmly said.
Holly snorted, "Right."
"You do not believe me?" Holly's face was enough to answer that.
With a sigh, she said, "What kind of flying creature do you want?"
"Eh?"
Cyrenela breathed deeply, trying to maintain her calm. "You heard what I said, or maybe you're not smart enough to understand plain English?"
Holly glared but said, "Fine, I guess...an eagle would be fine." Holly had a certain liking for the majestic birds of the skies for she saw their pictures during her youth, but because the People lived underground she had never chanced upon to see a real one, now though, she has.
With a small smile, Cyrenela changed shape. Now a pure silver eagle, she faced Holly, who had an expression of awe in her face. Being as she is, Cyrenela can't speak, so she merely gestured at her back for Holly to get on.
Holly, got on, hardly believing the recent events. She gazed upon the smooth silver feathers fondly, and was soon stroking it, then suddenly realizing who the eagle was, she stopped.
Cyrenela glanced at her from the corner of her eye before taking off with a flap of her gigantic wings. She heard Holly gasp as they rose higher and higher in altitude.
With great speed, they flew to Fowl Manor. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You're my first reviewer ever, so I thank you very much. By the way, are Mary-Sues bad? Because if so, I'm more than willing to change my character's condition, it's part of the plot anyways. I just want to know if they're not liked by the readers.
manveri[reachforthesky]estel:
Thank you for your review. Oh, yeah, here are the answers to your question; You're asking about her wound because of Butler right? Let's see, she said she can do anything right? And that it depends on who she is to help, but at that time, there was no one to help. Just herself, so she had to wait...or maybe her powers are weakened...
Read and Review, PLEASE!
