As Artemis's finished the food he was given, he got up and looked almost back to his normal self. Butler still could see the hatred and sadness in his eyes, but decide to ignore it and carry on like nothing happened.
LEP Recon
Holly Short, the young fairy that has had more dealing with humans then any other fairy alive, was keeping a watch over Artemis. She could sense the pain he was feeling. She knew he was going to do something to the people who killed his mother, but she did not know what. Holly was hoping to the fairy Gods that it did not involve her. (Authors Note: We all no there would be no story if it did not involve Holly)
Fowl Manner
Back at Fowl Manner, Artemis and Butler were sitting in the kitchen. And they spent a better half of an hour in silence, witch consisted of Artemis doing nothing but thinking. Butler finally got up the nerve to ask Artemis what he was planning on doing.
Artemis said calmly, "Butler, I would never rush into anything so there is no sense in worrying.
That really did not answer Butler's question but he deiced to let it go until he got further orders. Artemis knew there was only one way he would be able to get close to Vanstroven. He would have to steel a pair of fairy wings one for him and an XXX large for Butler, or make a deal with Holly. He needed the wings because the only access to Vanstroven's million-dollar house was a drainage tube. Witch was on the side of Vanstroven's Mountain witch he had watched 24\7. The problem was what kind of deal was he going to make. He had no leverage, or a way to reach Holly. After all the times he had been able to get to the fairies, they had thought out, and blocked any passage way in to their secluded word. Artemis decided to sleep on it but was woken up by Butler.
Artemis, Butler said quietly, "There is someone here to see you."
Artemis got up rather annoyed to be woken up, but his eyes lit up when he saw who was there. It was none other then Mulch Diggens. Artemis new he was sent by God, what luck. When he needed to reach Holly the most Mulch showed up on his doorstep.
"Mulch", Artemis exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
Mulch spoke in a low and horse tone, ("Must have been all the dirt he had to eat to get up here," Artemis thought) "I need money Artemis, I stole some money from a rich couple in Dublin, I was going to trade it for Fairy money to a couple of goblins, but I didn't have enough and there is no where else I can steal from, so I thought I could borrow some from you."
This was perfect for Artemis, he would give Mulch the money and in return Mulch would get him to Holly.
