Disclaimer: I don't own Fowl and his friends

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

A squirrel scurried along some trees, holding an acorn in its small furry paws, it was soon joined by a few more animals, they arrived at the clearing where what seemed like the whole forest had gathered, at the center of the clearing was a silver wolf, sitting on its hunches, looking at the sky, its eyes cloudy.

Cyrenela had been separated from the others for a few hours, and darkness finally came. Of course it was her own decision to separate, but she just can't bare the loneliness surrounding her, the animals, sensing her feelings even came, but it didn't improve things...

She could feel herself changing, sometimes she would think it's going to happen already, but it would suddenly subside.

Changing into her human form, she stood up, her gaze not leaving the crescent moon.

The squirrel with the acorn climbed up her shoulder and dropped the acorn on her palm, she smiled at the creature fondly, but it slowly disappeared when she remembered her situation once again.

The reason the animals surrounded her is because of her bond with nature, they react to her mood, now that her feeling isn't pleasant, the creatures of the woods came to try and bring comfort, though not actually succeeding.

The mark in her cheek became clearer than before, it even gave a faint glow in the dark.

She knew the time is near, she'll try, as she promised earlier, to hold on...to resist, but she was sure she won't have a chance to prevail, she would've had a better chance if her friends were with her, their friendship would be strong enough for her to withstand the devil's attempt to use her.

I wonder how it feels...she thought dully, to loose everything you ever worked hard in achieving...

Then she suddenly felt anger inside her, the devil's weapon to turn people against each other, it disappeared as suddenly as it came. But then she felt something different, pride...not good, she suddenly thought of a few unpleasant things, I'm better than them...all of them...she shook herself.

"Oh, no..." she whispered, her face panic-stricken.

The creatures suddenly froze, aware of what's happening. Cyrenela waved her hand for them to get away, as if understanding her all of them left.

She composed herself, her aura changing in mere seconds...I can't concentrate...something different awoke in her, Pain, Betrayal, Sin, Death, Terror, Cruelty, Corruption, Anger, Arrogance, Ignorance, about everything that she wasn't suppose to feel...

In her mind she managed to hold one thought, remember who you are....

Darkness flowed and covered everything in a one mile distance, the plants wilted, and the animals perished.

From it, Cyrenela emerged, her clothes as dark and dreary as death itself, her once vibrant colored eyes were cold and almost white, her mouth curled into a smile, emitting malice and fear, her face evil and pale, she looked nothing like what she was, she still had beauty though, but a dark and dangerous aura surrounded her very being. Faith, Hope, Life etc, were replaced with their opposites, and at long last, she forgot who she was supposed to be....the transformation is complete.

In hell the devil chuckled coldly.

The once green lively forest around her was nothing more than a wasteland, she smiled at the destruction she caused.

"Very good," said a cold voice in her head, the devil's voice. "You destroyed some of nature with just little time and effort."

She smirked, "Nothing deserves to live."

"Good, good, now, what's your name?" Cyrenela Arlene Perfecto was a name from the one above, he didn't want it.

Cyrenela...her heart whispered to her, but she said blankly, "Memento Mori."

"Yes, and who am I?"

"You're my Master....," she said evenly.

"Correct, now I want you to do something...there's this boy called Artemis Fowl II, I want you to destroy him, and if necessary or just plain amusing, you could kill his companions in any way you want," the reason he wanted Artemis to be dead, is because of his part in the prophecies...with the girl on his side, the only person standing before him and victory is Fowl, he must be assassinated.

Artemis...the name seemed familiar, she shook herself.

"I'll do it," she said clearly.

"See to it that you won't fail."

"I never fail," she whispered dangerously, for a moment the devil himself was frightened but he erased it, he was the devil, nothing is more frightening than him.

"Make sure..." he drawled, and exited her mind.

She stood there for a moment, "I'm coming, Fowl." She whispered and disappeared.

LEP Headquarters (Ops Booth)

Artemis and the others left Holly's home after Cyrenela, heading for the LEP headquarters.

"So, the devil did something to Fectnoperi that kind of converts her to his side. She went away so you could have a chance of escape, because she's sure that he will send her to destroy you after your transformation?" Foaly asked after he and Root were filled in with the recent events.

"Yup, that's pretty much it," Holly answered.

"Your situation just got harder, eh?" Root grunted.

Artemis nodded.

"Looks like she wasn't much help. Even though she's perfect and all," Foaly said regretfully.

"Not really, she gave Artemis something that would definitely come in handy, I think," Juliet said.

Root looked at Artemis, "What did she give you?"

He took of the crystal pendant which he had worn around his neck, holding it up to the light, both Foaly and Root stared at it in wonder, every now and then it would change color smoothly, it did felt better to see that Cyrenela at least left them something that greatly reminds them of herself, but it wasn't a good feeling that she herself would soon be the enemy they were to face soon.

"She said it was all the magic she can give in her state," Artemis explained.

"She gave you magic?" Root asked blankly.

"Looks like it," Foaly said sarcastically.

Root ignored the comment and reached a hand to touch it, what he received was a very sharp jolt of pain, he jumped backward clutching his arm in pain yelling, "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?! THAT THING BURNED MY HAND!"

Artemis suddenly remembered Cyrenela's words, "She gave it to me, only I can use it."

Butler, also remembering said, "I didn't know she meant it literally."

Root's magic was slowly healing his hand, and he managed to calm down. "Obviously, the girl did."

"Mud boy, could I have a look at it? Place it there on the tabletop," Foaly requested.

Artemis gently placed it there; Foaly got a curious instrument and began doing some measuring, observing and muttering under his breath, completely avoiding physical contact on the process.

A few minutes later. He looked up with a look of absolute excitement on his face.

"Please, share your discovery," Artemis requested casually.

"It's amazing," Foaly breathed. "It's her magic, right?"

They nodded.

"Well, her magic actually contains a portion of everything, which must be the reason she can do these things..."

"Does that mean that this jewel can do anything?" Artemis asked.

"I'm not sure, though Fectnoperi can do anything, this is only a part of her magic, it might be limited."

Suddenly all the screens in the Ops booth turned to static, a silhouette appeared.

"Hello, my...soon to be victims," it sneered.

They faced the screens closest to them; everyone was shocked, especially Foaly.

"Who are you?" Holly asked.

"I'm Memento Mori, the one who will lead you to your rotten grave," she answered in the same sneering voice.

"Memento Mori...in English it is translated into, remember, you will die..." Artemis said thoughtfully.

"What a very inspiring name," Juliet said sarcastically.

"Yes," Memento mused. "It especially affects the future of my victims."

"Then why are you hiding yourself? Afraid we might puke or faint because of your lovely face?" Foaly was affected by the hacking into his system badly.

"I am not afraid of anything," she said as she stepped forward, the light revealing her stunning features.

All of them in the room gasped, Cyrenela's face met their eyes, it was the same face, they were sure, but in a way, she was different...very different. Her eyes lost their warmth, they were icy cold. Her once gentle smile was a sneer or a smirk. What felt really different was her aura...her presence, before, it emitted goodness, calm, so many good feelings, but now it gave an evil aura that fills you with fear and coldness, she seemed a totally different person.

"Cyrenela?" Artemis whispered, shocked.

She arched an eyebrow, "That's not my name."

"Yes it is, Madam Perfecto," Butler affirmed.

She laughed coldly, "Stop your useless babbling," she looked at Artemis. "You're Fowl."

Artemis didn't know how to react so he remained silent.

"You're the one I am to destroy," she said, smiling.

Before a reaction could be done, she disappeared from the screen.

All stares turned towards Artemis.

"We're in big-

A crash was heard and Memento stood at the center of the room, still smiling, she said, "This would be definitely amusing."

Butler immediately blocked Artemis from view glaring at her.

Memento smiled evilly, "You can't stop me. I could just snap my fingers and the boy could just fall, dead."

If defense wasn't going to work, thought Butler, how about offensive? He lunged with a roar.

Memento didn't budge, as she and Butler made contact, he fell through her.

Butler quickly stood up.

"You're pathetic, no one can harm me," she sneered, then she slowly walked towards Artemis.

Artemis tried to move, but found out that for some reason he was rooted to the ground.

Holly and Juliet decided to attack at the same instance, they didn't even get close.

"Stop your useless attempts," she waved her hand and soon, everybody except Artemis was thrown to the wall.

They were only five feet apart, four, three, two, one, then she stopped.

"Now, Fowl. In what way do you prefer to die?"

Artemis didn't answer.

"Very well, let's make it painfully long," she said as she held his neck.

Not again...Artemis tried to break free, but her grip was strong, and he was losing air fast.

Unintentionally, she touched the crystal pendant, with surprise, she let go.

Artemis fell to the ground, gasping for air.

Memento eyed the pendant hanging from his neck, it gave her a feeling, not pain, much more like, a memory...

Then Artemis thought of something, while Memento was absorbed in her thoughts, he touched her with the crystal.

More memories flashed in her mind.

The others were released from her power and slowly got up, looking at the two. The crystal glowed bright as it touched Memento, and Memento seemed frozen, her blank and cold eyes dazed.

Artemis had his idea from their first meeting with Cyrenela, she had touched them, which erased the mind-wipe. She used her magic then, maybe now, the magic she gave would be enough to bring her back, it seemed to work. He would've succeeded if her friends hadn't arrived.

Faith knocked Artemis off his feet, as soon as the connection was terminated, Memento's flashes of memories was gone.

She stood up and looked at her accomplices they were all there, Faith, Hope, Life...but all of them were different, opposites of who they really were, "Shall we?"

They nodded.

Artemis and the others were surrounded at all sides.

Holding the pendant, Artemis found himself thinking, I wish we could get away, far away....

With a flash, they did.

Memento was outraged, "How did they do that?! How could we let them escape?!"

The others cowered under her rage, but didn't reply.

She calmed herself, and looked at her surroundings, she didn't need this technology, they'll have to find Fowl and his friends, with a faint pop, they disappeared.

And with a hiss, the Ops booth burst into flames, at least she destroyed something of definite value.

Author's Note:

I got the Memento Mori name from a book called; A Series of Unfortunate Events, I'm not really sure whether it's really like that but that's all I can remember.
