A/N: I said I would do about two chapters a month, but I forgot to say after chapter 3, sorry. Also all the lord of the rings characters should be in it at some point or another.

Disclaimer: Already said, but just incase. I own nothing.

Ch. 3 Evil Returns

Artemis sat in his home working with his laptop to try and decipher

the language. Luckily his parents were on vacation for the month for a

second honeymoon. The thought made Artemis sick and he went back

to work. The thieves had done quite well and were able to get around

thirty books fifteen books apiece and then Hob carried a huge book

that kept getting heavier and heavier heading towards Artemis. When

they reached there, they were paid and Artemis had thirty one books to

derive a language from and read. Well working on decoding the

language he began having feelings have deja vu. He brushed those

feelings aside and continued to work. Artemis knew that puzzles were

made for one reason to be solved and this puzzle would be like all

others.

Finished. It took longer than I expected. No matter I've been able to

translate, now all I have to do is read. Artemis tried to decide what

book to read first when more or less his eyes were drawn to the

extremely heavy book. He read the title out loud in English. Sauron of

Mordor keeper of the one ring and dark lord of Middle Earth. Who's

Sauron? Where's Mordor? This looks like it could be an interesting

read. Artemis opened the book instead of landing on the first page

however the pages moved caused by a fell wind to page number 672.

Artemis glanced at the page and realized that it was a fake or a

covering for something. He removed the extra covering for that page

and about a two page report fell out. He began to read.

"Congratulations for finding the secret passage of my book. I am

Sauron dark lord of Mordor and soon all of middle earth. However if

I fail and they somehow defeat me or destroy my ring then I have a

backup plan. I have in secret forged the one ring, but little did anyone

know that I forged another ring as well. This ring is just as powerful

as the one however a little different. If the fools of middle earth

discover this ring which I desperately hope they do not then I truly am

defeated. However should they not discover I have one last hope and

you are it. I had a secret room in my library. You should already know

that from finding this book, but if it was somehow put outside the

room then now you know where to search. There are five books of

great importance in the library they are filled with evil, destruction

and power. If you can read this language then you are my heir and the

ring that I hid will appear soon. However you must take an oath. An

oath binding you to the quest of resurrecting me. For by resurrecting

me my ring will also be found. However I will not have a body so I

would have to join whoever finds this for the time being. If you agree

say out loud the following and begin the teachings of the dark arts and

you will receive power beyond belief.

To have unimaginable power. I have always dreamed of this, yet never

thought it would happen. This could be a hoax or fairy tale and

nothing will happen, but can I really chance if it could? No, I Artemis

Fowl the second will read this and wait to see what happens. Here

goes nothing.

"One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring

them all and in the darkness bind them. Another ring to resurrect the

One, One ring to find it, One ring to bring them together again, with

the dark lord Sauron and the One. In the land of Mordor with Sauron

and his heir Artemis Fowl shadows will rise once more. To cover the

land in a never before seen darkness."

Artemis was knocked unconscious almost immediately while a force

of unbelievable evil seeped into his body and the partnership was

formed. He was granted powers so great and terrible that he would

need Sauron to help him learn of his new powers. All the while

elsewhere above the planet in the city known as the windy city a tall

man known as Grey Hemmings with a gray beard and pointed hat

suddenly awoke and the first member of the fellowship had returned.

With the return of the member of the fellowship, elsewhere in the

world a ring fashioned of mithril returned to the world of man and the

hunt was about to begin.
