Okay, I usually write RENT and Inuyasha fics, but I'm going to try my hand at writing some about Artemis Fowl. If you guys don't like it PLEASE let me know and I'll crawl humbly back to the RENT category where I'm welcome. This was just an idea that's been tumbling around in my head since I finished reading The Lost Colony last year.
The New Adventure
Chapter 1
"Just think of this as a new adventure." nineteen year old Artemis Fowl told himself. "It's similar to the time when you faced those trolls, and the goblins, and that pride of angry demons. Yes, just another adventure. Butler won't let anything happen…" And indeed the bodyguard was in his usual place; behind his employer and friend. This time however, all the weaponry and martial arts skills in the world would do no good. Even more discouraging, Artemis's legendary intelligence couldn't help him.
Because he'd asked for this. Gotten down on one knee and asked. Now, almost a year later, he was petrified. And fear was not a feeling that Artemis Fowl II like to experience.
The young genius looked up and directly into amber eyes. They held a reassuring light that lifted Artemis's spirits. His signature vampire smile stretched across his pale face, he cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and said, "I do."
Beep, Beep, BEEP, BEEP
Three months later, Artemis Fowl snapped his blue eyes open at the sound of his wife's alarm clock. He sighed and stretched, yet the beeping still continued. "Nakeva." he said.
Without opening her eyes, the girl lying next to him in the large bed flicked her fingers at the clock. The alarm was instantly shut off. "I'm still asleep." she said to her husband.
Artemis chuckled. "Yes I see that. Unfortunately you cannot remain in bed all day. We have important guests coming do not forget."
"Five minutes." Nakeva replied.
"Alright. I'll return a couple of emails and then I'm waking you up again. I won't be taking no for an answer either."
"You never do." Of course it took nearly half an hour for Artemis to return his correspondences and get his wife Nakeva was out of bed and into the shower. The young woman was only seventeen. A sprightly elf, human, warlock mix with powers and an attitude to match.
Fifteen minutes later, Nakeva was up, clean, and dressed. "There now." Artemis remarked. "Was that so difficult?"
She smirked back at him and went downstairs as her husband made his way to the bathroom. Butler was bustling around the kitchen making breakfast and chatting with a small individual who was sitting at the table. "Holly!" Nakeva exclaimed when she saw their visitor. "How are you?"
The elf grinned. "Hey Nikki. I'm fine. I should be asking how you are though. You've been Fowl's wife for three months."
Nakeva giggled. "Oh leave him alone. Artemis is a very caring husband."
The manservant snorted into the eggs he was cooking. "Caring? All you two do is snap at each other constantly."
"But that's how we express our love Butler." Nikki said back. "You have to admit that we are good together."
"Artemis Fowl in love. If you'd told me about this back when he was twelve I would have suggested that you get your head examined. Now it's common to see that Mud Boy with his wife on his arm." Holly commented.
"Believe me Holly, I was more shocked than you." Butler said. "Because she's actually right. Artemis and Nakeva are excellent together. It's quite unnerving. Last night for example I walked in on them kissing."
"And I expressly asked you to block that from your memory Butler old friend." Artemis remarked as he entered the kitchen. "Since it unnerves you so much." He dropped a kiss onto Nakeva's head and glared at Holly who had erupted into uncharacteristic giggles. "Hello Captain Short."
"Alright, alright. I'm sorry for laughing. Don't go all stiff criminal mastermind on me." Holly retorted. "What, no hug? You'll kiss her, but I get nothing?"
Artemis raised an eyebrow. "She is my wife." he reasoned. "And you told me once that if I ever lost my mind and hugged you, you would give me an extra aperture in my head with your Neutrino."
Holly rolled her eyes. "You and your superb long term memory. But witty banter aside, we do have a problem."
"Never a social visit." Butler sighed before Artemis could. "What is it this time Holly, another uprising? The gnomes getting out of hand?"
"I wish it were that simple." the elf replied. She reached down to her belt and pulled a small Palm Pilot-like device from it's case. "Foaly received a transmission last night. He watched it, then sent it to me." She turned the device on and located the file she wanted. "Alright gather around."
Butler eyed the device and cleared his throat. Holly hid a grin. "I'm sorry. Even after all we've been through, Foaly still doesn't have Butler-sized equipment."
"Oh I can take care of that." Nakeva spoke up. She took the small computer from Holly and closed her eyes. Whispering a chant, she waved her hand over the screen and then held it up towards the wall. Like the complex magic it was the image on the screen of the fairy sized Palm Pilot was displayed on the kitchen wall.
Butler grinned and Artemis smiled contentedly while Holly gaped. "Um, okay." she said once she had closed her mouth. "Like I said, Foaly got this message last night and it's dated yesterday." She hit a button and the image on the wall changed from the smiling face of a blond elf to the splotchy red face of the late Commander Julius Root.
"Hello there Foaly." the commander was saying. "I hope you don't mind if I smoke." as he said this he screwed a lit fungus cigar into his mouth. "That's better. Anyway, I know you all thought I was dead. But I'm obviously not. You will be receiving transmissions like this from a few other friends who you thought were dead. Then you'll receive some instructions. Follow them or fairies and Mud Men start dying." the commander winked and the image went blank.
"That was not Commander Root." said Butler.
"Obviously." agreed Artemis. "The Commander had a flair that whoever that was lacked in excess. The imperative question is, who was that?" he looked at his wife. "Well Nakeva it seems as if you will get your chance to be a part of one of my adventures after all."
