Out of the woods chapter 6
Disclaimer I do not own artemis fowl or percy Jackson and im not making any money off of this fanfiction. To the followers of my story I apologise for taking so long to update but I needed some time to clear my head and focus as a lot of other story Ideas are filling my head and I am also currently looking for work so please bear with me as there will be gaps in-between the updates for this and my other stories.
Fowl manor
Percy was by no means a genius but he wasn't an idiot either and he knew that something was going on as the quest they had been given had dragged on for far longer than the predicted month as the group had run into various problems that had delayed their arrival in Ireland as monsters had been quite active in trying to kill them and unfortunately it was the smarter few that could blend in very well with the mortal world.
(While I'm grateful that this quest might be over soon, I'm beyond pissed off at how little information Adam has given us about our mission and with how long we've been away I know that our friends and family back home are worried.) "That's it! Once Adam gets back from his supply run were going to get some answers."
While Nico woke up with a start from Percy's declaration he hadn't really heard what Percy had been talking about but now that he was awake he told Percy to rest as he would take watch. While his friend went to his bed to take a nap Nico's attention was soon directed to the door of the cottage as the sound of nocking filled living room.
Nico didn't know why but he had always been on edge ever since they had arrived at the Fowl estate. While there were no magical being and he was certain that no member of the fowl family was a demigod he could sense a great deal of magical energy on the land that he just shouldn't be possible for mortals to produce. Things had been weird for a while in the mortal world as about a year after Gaia had been defeated a strange pulse of magic had been felt throughout the world and a great number of mortal technologies just stopped working or exploded. It had been quite disturbing as the magical signature had been similar to the magic the titans had used during the first war between the titans and the gods.
Nico was soon pulled out of his thoughts as a slightly timid voice called out from the front door. "Excuse me but could I please come in." Nico paused as he recognized the voice as belonging to the pale girl they had met when they had first arrived. Nico would never admit it but the girl truly unnerved him when they had first met as he hadn't sensed a soul within her body. He hadn't told the others yet as he wanted to be sure about what he had sensed as the girl's body had been coursing with titan and godly magic.
"Sorry, sorry please come in." Nico apologized as he opened the door to let her inside. "I just woke up from a nap so I didn't really hear you." (Ok so I play my cards right I can learn what is causing the magic field around these grounds not that I'm ungrateful as it keep the monsters away." Nico truly was great-full as the magic field hid him and his cousins from monsters and it actually seemed too actively drive them away as he noted from one of his sweeps of the Fowl grounds when he notice a group of monster purposely avoid the border of the magic field.
"Sorry if I disturbed you but my father and mother have just returned from a business trip and they would like to meet you. So could you please make your way to the main house, once you arrive one of the maids will bring you to the dining room." Nico formed a bit of a frowned as he had actually researched the Fowl family when he had found out where they were currently staying and neither the dead nor the internet had anything good to tell him about the family and its criminal history and while the Fowls had in recent years dropped a great deal of their criminal enterprises following the straight and narrow path he was still weary.
"I don't really have the option of declining do I?" asked a sheepish Nico. Even though he already knew the answer just asking anyway gave him a small sense of control that helped him stay calm. "Sorry no you don't. Please be ready at 5pm sharp and please dress formally." While she had started off strong the girl had finished off mumbling her request. (Wow, I can't believe how timid this girl is considering her family is one the most dangerous mortal families around. Wow I just realized that I don't even know her name while I know more about her family, I'll need to rectify that.)
"Don't worry, we will be on time and dressed appropriately, my collogues and I want to make a good first impression with the Fowl family after all." The girl started to get nervous at the mention of her family name. Nico quickly introduced himself hoping to stop things from getting awkward.
"Oh by the way my name is Nico De Angelo and I'm currently staying in the equivalent of a four star hotel." Nopal laughed at the joke knowing how overboard her family could get when setting anything up. "And my name I Nopal Fowl, it is a pleasure to meet you Mr De Angelo." "No please call me Nico, Mr De Angelo is my father and calling me that just makes me feel old."
As Nopal left thanking Nico for the laugh she didn't see the front door opening and bumped into Adam. After a few minutes of her apologizing to Adam for running into him and Nico trying to hide a growing smile she ran off to go help Butler prepare dinner. "So what was the princess doing here? Not anything naughty I hope because I worked hard to get us this place to stay and I'd rather not have Butler and the fowl family after us. We demigods have enough problems dealing with monsters without involving mortal problems into the mix."
Nico just sighed having grown used to the behavior of the son of Apollo during there long journey. "No nothing like that we just all got invited to dinner, so go wake up Percy and get Jason and Talia to take a shower once they're done sparing we're going shopping." Adam just agreed and left the living room while Nico started to laugh a bit at how serious he made going shopping sound.
Foaly's pov
Foaly was really having a great day. His girlfriend and mother were keeping each other company and getting along, his new budget had just been approved and the upgrades he had given his computer system were working splendidly.
A beeping pulled Foaly out of his musing as he had just received and update from one of his old search programs. (Wait that can't be right it's the one I set up for Luna, but it's been years, what could the program have found after all this time?)
"You know I really shouldn't be surprised after everything we've been through but how do you keep getting the worst luck mudboy." Foaly paused a moment from his rambling to call up Holly. "Hey Foaly what do you need?" "I just need a small favor Holly. I know that you're leaving for your surface vacation days but could you please take the data I just sent helmet to Artemis while you're there. One of my old Search programs finally found something on Luna and the council isn't going to like it."
Holly could only sigh as she knew that most likely things would be getting very busy soon considering Foaly's tone. "Great, just when I thought we were done with all our adventuring this happens. Just goes to show too never tempt fate. I hope that you're ready for another one mudboy." Said Holly as she looked through the files Foaly had sent her starting with the one marked Greece
