I do not own any of Artemis Fowl. This is purely a work for the enjoyment of all. And I am very very sorry for the long wait. This is where it gets a little M rated with lots of gore and multiple deaths. But only lowly humans for now.

Artemis Pov

I watched the scene before me with pure disgust in my eyes. There was a deep red hue to the once pure white walls. There was a sound of crunching and tearing as the walls and floors were painted with a darker crimson. All of the furniture in the room was also painted with the dark colouring. Nothing was spared except one wall "This is so revolting, Erebus. Why does this act have to happen? This is wasting time for our exit." My voice did not hide my disgust at this act.

He stopped for a short moment to speak at me. "This is the only way to increase our power now. Well it is the only way I can. You have not reached the peak of your power just yet. Besides no one will ever find a trace of us being here." After he finished his last sentence he began to eat again. His teeth tore through the flesh and meat as if it was nothing. And he bit on the bone crunching them every now.

I grimaced at his remark before saying, "Well if I understood completely. All we need is the life force, which you have. So why eat the body? There is no point to." He continued to eat but he stopped for a moment and laughed at my reasoning but did not say a word. I just waited after that for him to finish.

After only about 10 minutes he finished off the body. He licked his hands mostly clean of the blood and shook off some of the blood on his clothing. He then walked over to the only clean wall left in the small room. He then put his hand on the wall and smiled. "Because Artemis. This arcane magic will drive you to want this hunger. Eventually you will turn out just like me."

I glared at him as he said that. "I will not turn out like you, Erebus. We may be near the same but we are the same." As I ended my sentence I hit his hand away from my head and grabbed him by the neck and picked him up off the ground slightly. "While you are more magical. The arcane magic has made me much stronger. And I made you and I can unmake you." I crushed his neck slightly then threw him onto the ground before walking into the bathroom. The whole time this happened he never lost that smile. It was actually much wider by the end of my rant.

I got a washcloth and started to clean off the remaining blood on him. "You have let you emotions go a lot more lately, Artemis. It suits you very much. Makes you much more intimidating and terrifying." He grabbed my hand after a moment and held it. "But with this power comes a great burden." A symbol appeared on both of our hands as he moved a bit of the power he gained to me. "We are bonded forever. To share the same fate. Together we live. And together we will die."

After a moment he let my hand go. "We should go now." I threw the cloth into the air as it caught on fire. He followed me out the door then out of the house as the fire blazed inside of the house slowly creeping out. We shielded as we walked away from the house. Many neighbors ran out of their houses around. We walked into the forest near the houses and we both created from the materials around us using our Arcane magic to make two modified fairy wing sets made just for us to our exact plans that we made for them.

It was not until we were in the air that Erebus spoke again. "This power is so very amazing. We have come so far from you trying to just think I was nothing but madness to where we are now. An arcane being that should never have been and a Fairy-Human Arcane mix. We are the one-"

"-that was two that are now the two that are one." I finished. He looked at me and started to laugh and so did I. "This would be scary how much we know what the other is saying. But we are the same person in a sense." We flew to an amusement park. "Don't look so surprised I promised you we would have some fun a while ago so let us go have some fun." I made my wings disappear and unshielded. Erebus followed my example after a moment. I changed our clothes to blend in a little better.

It took less then a moment before Erebus was pulling me around to see all different rides and to try out all the food. We got a lot stares from all the people around us but we ignored it and just had fun. "So why did you give this gift to us? Feeling too over worked from all the stuff you had to do to make me appear so you are doing this to relax a little."

That is something I wish I could forget a little. It nearly pushed me to the edge of insanity…

Flashback. Roughly half a month ago.

"Finally I have every single part of the plan made to exactly as it says to do in the knowledge. Soon we will see if this has been just a stupid chase or if it was really something that will be of great use to us." I said softly to myself and Erebus as I set to the plans and started to get every material that I will need. "First that is needed is four troll teeth. Of course there has to be something very hard to get. It should be a little easier with this arcane strength." I pulled up a map of know trolls that I or the Leprecon marked. I choose the one closest to the manor.

After I got a modded fairy blaster, one of the seven I made for Butler, Juliet, Holly or myself just incase another person comes along with a want for world domination. I headed out of my stuff and down the stairs. As I passed by Butler I said, "I will be out for a bit. I have protection so try not to worry so much." I was gone before he even could open his mouth to answer.

While I could just run to it this power has a drawback it harms the user of it for a while after use. And I do not need that when fighting a troll. Plus it is a full moon and for some reason my power weakened greatly. I was barely able to create a set of fairy wings. After I made them I put them on and shield myself before flying in the direction of the troll. When I arrived at one of the LEPrecon bunkers unused. I flew into it and down the clutch to the tunnels then I flew into them heading into the den of the beast. "Careful Artemis. If you die all this work will be for not a little thing. And I don't think we will be able to come back another time." I heard Erebus say in my head as I got into the den. "I will shed a little light to make this easier." Erebus took control of my right arm and summoned from his knowledge a ball of light then threw it up into the air and made it much brighter.

I heard the creature roar as it was blinded. I followed the sound and found the troll it could not see me but it did smell me and it started to attack wildly in my direction. I dodged each of the attack and set the blaster to charge as I tried to get some distance. If I am too close I would never get the mest off. And I rather not go shopping again for a new suit. I smashed my fist into the ground and knocked it off balance before I launched a kick into it's chest to get some space before I fired a beam that caused the beast to be stunned. After it was stunned I shot it in the neck multiple times until it was dead then I collected the materials I needed and walked away from the scene. There was a lot of blood coming out of the wounds coating the dirt around it in a deep crimson. "Five down four to go. But that was tiring. Time to head home." The blaster i have takes it's charges from my energy. It is much stronger than normal.

I headed home as Erebus made a mental note on the last two things we need. "We only need a few more things now. Five beings with at the very least mild intelligent, so Trolls and animals are out of the question; a vessel, that is almost done; an enchanted weapon of any kind, but it has to be made by the summoner I am still looking into how to do this without hurting ourselves; and finally we need at the very least a 235% increase of our power. That will be the easiest. We will be able to get everything within three days."

Skip ahead three days.

I set up all of the ritual behind the Fowl mannar with multiple shields up to make sure no one sees anything. I started by making the special medicine that will be need as soon as Erebus is alive. After that I set the five humans I chose and mesmerized into doing this ritual beside the vessel that is a clone of myself. I then fed my power into the ground around the vessel as I began to force Erebus out of my body and into one of his own. I commanded the humans to slice open their wrists and one by one they feed the blood into the body until I felt Erebus finally be able to come out of my body. I watched as his eyes turned a deep crimson, his skin got much paler, his hair tips were a crisp white while the rest of his hair was just like mine a dark raven black, and as our power surged over him it changed his clothes from a dark black suit to a blood red suit with white and black spikes on the collar, cuff, helm of his shirt and the bottom of his pants legs.

He tore into the neck of the nearest human killing them before he drained the life and blood from them and did the same to the other four and finally after he was done I gave him the medicine that he took in one gulp. I chucked then said, "That is a very interesting look for you Erebus. But it suits you very well." I got up and head my hand out to him to help him stand.

He looked at me. "I honestly don't believe that worked. The chances of success were only at 3 percent. None of my knowledge has ever said of a working case." He grabbed my hand and I pulled him to his feet. "And this feels so weird. We are connected but at the same point we are not. It is a little annoying with this feeling." We talked for a little longer but it was not the ritual or Erebus being in the world that nearly drove me insane it was the constant bombardment of the darkness of side effects of the magic. Which we had to use constantly to make Erebus's body better. This darkness is worst than mine or Erebus's. It drains the life from me. After two days Erebus found a way to block us from it.

End of Flashback.

I shake myself awake. "I should just forget that. It is in the past and over with. Time to enjoy this moments before we talk to Butler Juliet Holly, and Trouble. Then the happy days will be over and something else we start. So much to do so very little time." I chuckle as I followed Erebus through the park going on every ride and doing everything before heading home. "So much to do so little time before the final part of the plan…"

To be continued…
