A/N: Sorry this took so long. I've been focusing on my other stories, but I'm writing this now! OK, OK, on with the story.
Refloc: The melodramatic-ness is all part of the story.

"Well, I'll have you know that this is not my choice to be here, Root made me." Holly said, just to make things clear.
"I gathered as much. Now, would you mind telling us about –"
"The Red Raven?"
"Well, yes."
"Okay, but this will be confusing." she warned
"Tell us anyways." Artemis insisted
"First, Butler." The fairy addressed the bodyguard. "Do you know how you know the story of the Red Raven?"
"Well, no." Butler admitted. "I don't make up stories, and that one was just in my head from somewhere else. I don't know where it came from."
"Well, it all began, for you Butler, when you were at Madame Ko's." Holly told the pair about how she wanted to be an author so bad that she blew off some fairy rules to write a book about a creature no one but the fairies knew of. When she explained how humans and fairies alike had tried and failed to see the bird, Artemis became skeptical.
"How did humans know to chase it if they didn't know it existed?"
"It was known in medieval times, but it was hushed up after about 50 men died for it."
She went on to explain that all her stories about the bird were made up, and that's why they couldn't find anything about it on the Internet.
"The true stories, I actually don't know." She admitted. "All I know is that it's out there, and people want to find it so bad that they are obsessed with it."
"Well, why don't we find out why people want it?"
"Because! I told you already, no one but fairies know that it exists, and most of them, like me, don't know the true legends behind it!"
"Can Foaly help us?"
"Sure…"
"Because I think he knows." Artemis looked over to his computer screen, and waited. He knew Foaly had the technology to appear on his computer, but he wanted to see it for himself. Everyone else in the room followed his gaze, wondering what on earth he was thinking. When Foaly's face appeared on the screen, everyone except Artemis jumped.
"Hello, Foaly."
"Why, hello, Artemis. Good to see you again."
"You, too. May I have some information on the Red Raven?"
"I'll see what I can dig up." The only noise heard in the room for a few seconds were the small bleeps of Foaly's computer.
"Here," the centaur said. "I'm sending the file to your printer. You should get a hardcopy of it in a sec… there it goes." The soft whir of the printer began, and once it stopped, Artemis picked up the file and read the first page.
A/N: Next chapter is going to be the file in Artemis' hands.
