Welcome to my world of Artemis Fowl again. As I have said, you cannot expect from me frequent updates for I am the paranoid person which constantly re-write and re-write. However, it seems that I manage to update before the month of March. I was expecting to update something like first of March due to my examinations.

Frankly speaking, I think that the reviews are quite disappointing. Artemis Fowl is such an enormous fandom and all I got was some face from my old friend- lone ranger jk (more commonly known as Jun Kiat). I would most like to berate you all upon this matter, but I know that this will not do me or you any good. So, I would like to request for more reviews and allow me to improve this piece of work.

Without further ado, let us begin the chapter. (This takes place after the Koboi revenge.)

Artemis Fowl- A life without regrets

Chapter 2- Tale of the flaming pharaoh Part I

"I am Artemis Fowl the second, the first of the new age of what I shall term Artermism. The Fowls will once again rise like a phoenix from the ashes, to bring hope to the world and regain our own honour."

Artemis gave a grim smile. It was definitely not easy for him, even he were to be a hundred times smarter than the genius he now was, to write to his descendants about the many adventures he and his fairy friends had. However, he knew that these adventures were not recorded in history and would not be. So, he had to record them down for the future reference of the generations to come.

It was the time where one would take the most essential meal of the day when Holly appeared on Artemis's doorstep. She was distastefully wet and dirty for a fairy. It was only moments later when she muttered a greeting that Artemis realized that she was covered in bloodstains.

She walked in, boots crunching on the expensive Persian carpet. Artemis twitched at its damage. Holly sat down on the chair and without any hesitation, said, "Artemis. The fairy world needs you. There is a new danger threatening our survival."

She continued, "You have to go to LEP base now through Tara. Bring Butler along. We will need his expertise."

Artemis smirked with an air of pride. He radioed for Butler to get his equipment and prepare to leave on a trip. Soon enough, Butler appeared, and they got on Artemis's Bentley as they had to travel the mud man way. It would be too heavy for Holly to fly them in.

As they made their way to Tara, Butler driving, Artemis asked, "What happened to you?"

Holly replied, "This is what you get when a bunch of bloodthirsty goblins on wings chase you for a hundred miles." With that, Artemis kept quiet, not wanting to mention anymore things that would force him to reveal his soft spot for Holly.

Soon enough, they arrived that the LEP base in Haven. Many turned to watch Artemis, one of the very few humans in living history that had entered this last dwelling of the fairies.

Artemis noticed the look of disbelieve on the faces of the fairies. They most probably thought of reasons why such a boy would be here. Artemis smiled at that thought. Little did he know that what he would be told of in the next few minutes was under the top secret classification and would change the destinies of many in this reputed Haven.

Artemis soon arrived at the LEP briefing room, greeted by Commander Root, Wing Commander Vinyaya and of course, Foaly. The briefing then started with the arrival of Corporal Grub.

"The danger we face this day is far greater than any of the past. As such, we will have to mobilize all of Haven forces to destroy the enemy." said Root.

Foaly continued, "This danger has been recognized as a class one threat. It is currently known as the flaming pharaoh. It resides deep in the tombs of the Giza Pyramid, rumored to be guarded by Anubis warriors and other ancient designs."

Wing Commander Vinyaya stood up and said, "In terms of mobilization, a team of LEP elite fairies, led by Captain Holly Short and Fowl shall form the infiltration team that will enter the pyramid and destroy the pharaoh. An army from Haven's main forces shall challenge the Anubis army that has been spotted by many reliable sources."

The briefing dragged on for another hour before it concluded. The mobilization then begun. It was a flurry of movement as there had been no such major event a thousand years ago. Weapons were armed, armors were donned, commands were given and shuttles exited the ports like there was no tomorrow. On that day, three thousand fairy soldiers and two humans (Artemis and butler) left Haven. Yet, how many will return is still a mystery for the future.

The deployment was completed in four hours, under the wise leadership of commander root, operation director and Foaly, the technical specialist. The army soon arrived at the Cairo suburb, ready for war in flying formation. Within the hour, Artemis, Butler, Holly and the whole army of fairy warriors had arrived at Giza smoothly. It seemed to all including Butler, that the place was fine and without any traps. Yet to Artemis, the desolateness and the stale air lead the genius Fowl to suspect that it had been a trap from beginning.

Artemis' brain went into overdrive, pondering the many signs and clues he had seen along the way, but no matter how he put it, where he placed it, the sense of unease would not leave him alone. Perhaps that was just his suspicious mind. Perhaps that very intuition was of unforeseen accuracy.

You may never know, but will you , the reader hazard a guess?

Phew! Finally finished this chapter. It might seem boring and if you hate foreshadowing, I apologize. Anyway, I am quite sorry for this late posting but its all due to my examination. You can expect more frequent updates from now on.

However, at least for now, REVIEW or face the divine wrath of your author…

Until another time, this is Rockomaniac, signing off.
