Foaly offered his hand and Artemis shook it with a blank look on his face.

" I'm sorry Artemis, we had no idea. I understand you want a blood purification test."

Artemis looked up and replied blandly.

" You understood correctly. This could all be a grave misunderstanding."

Artemis' blood had been a hundred percent pure. They were telling the truth. He wasn't human. He felt his nausea increase and a hot flush came over his body as he was violently sick.

Holly could hear his laboured breathing.

" Foaly, his breathing. He's going to have a panic attack."

Artemis made a huge gasp and started hyperventilating.

Foaly finally returned with a needle and after a small shot of pain calmness swept over Artemis like a wave and he fell unconscious into Holly's arms.

With nothing else to do she put her hand in Artemis' and played with his hair soothingly. She felt Artemis squeeze her hand and hold it tight.

Glorficus

A gigantic storm was sweeping over Ireland, this storm was huge, it was entirely unexpected, it seemed to have come from no where. The waves crashed dramatically in to the rocks along the cove and the sky was a sinister grey which looked like they were promising pain and suffering.

Only Foaly underground, was aware of what was really going on. He had held a huge amount of interest as to how Glorficus was going to enter this dimension. After hard hours of reading cryptic and confusing texts he had finally came to his answer. He printed off the necessary papers and gently knocked on the lounge door, this was where Holly had hid Artemis and was as far as he knew stroking and cooing him back into consciousness.

Holly answered the door and Foaly knew by the exhausted look on her face that Artemis hadn't come round. Foaly looked at the clock and felt his gut squirm in anticipation. Sool was due to do his daily rounds in Foaly's office in half an hour from now, Artemis could not be seen. Not now, not now they knew he was their sacred key.

" Holly, Sool is coming in half an hour he can't stay here. You'll have to take him home. I suggest you prepare to restrain him, when he awakes up he'll not know his surroundings. It could disturb him immensely."

Holly nodded and began to attach Artemis to the Moonbelt Foaly had lent her. She had to get out of here, she could feel herself shaking and she couldn't afford to lose it. Artemis' world had turned upside down, she couldn't rely on his calm and controlled attitude to stabilize her anymore. She took the papers from Foaly and followed Foaly to the back exit.

Holly went to run when Foaly put a hand on her shoulder.

" I'll come over as quick as I can."

Holly nodded and exploded into a sprint her magic and cam foil concealing her and Artemis from prying eyes.

Home at last !

Holly kicked her bedroom door open and deposited Artemis as gently as her tired arms would allow. He stirred slightly and his eyelids began to flutter. Holly took one of his hands and gently moved a rogue strand of hair away from his eyelids.

Slowly the lids opened as Artemis blue's eyes were sparkling beautifully like a midnight sky. Tears slid down his flawless cheeks and his whole body shook slightly. Holly went to comfort him but Artemis moved away from her touch and shook his head.

Too tired to argue Holly shrugged and complied leaving the door slightly open and she headed for the kitchen to make herself a well deserved cup of tea.

Artemis didn't move from the bed. He had never felt an emotion so strongly, it was consuming him, but the worst pain wasn't the fact he didn't exist it was the feeling of being alone. He felt utterly abandoned. He belonged to no one and no one belonged to him, and now he was The Key, a Key that was being hunted down by a ancient God who would bleed him dry to end Mankind and bring the faires up to glory. And he couldn't help thinking that now he was in the Lions den. He didn't know who he could trust, he didn't know if he could even afford to trust.

Then it all became too much.

It was like the final blow had been blown and he exploded into chocking sobs. Artemis had never been so undignified but as hard as he might he could not stop himself. Now he had started he didn't think he could stop. The door flung open and Artemis leapt off the bed and fell to his knees in front of Holly, his whole body shaking and quivering. Tears streaming down his face and sparkling like diamonds.

" HOLLY ! PLEASE ! I'M SO ALONE, AM ALL ALONE ! HOLLY PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME !"

Holly bent down and threw her arms over Artemis' neck and fell to her knees also, all the emotion caught up with her and soon the pair were gripping eachother tight and crying their hearts out.

Meanwhile back in Ireland a terrific lightening bolt suddenly came crashing from the sky and hit the ground exploding into a pure white blast. Slowly a figure came walking from the blast. A womanly figure with godly curves and a body to die for. The white mist blew away in the wind and the beautiful figure was revealed to the world. She radiated beauty. Her hair was long and curly and was the most radiant of all reds. And her eyes, her eyes the palest of blues and as cold as ice. The black V-neck dress hugged her body and anyone could tell she didn't belong here. She looked exotic, out of this world. She looked that way because she was, she was exotic and and she was out of this world. She was Glorficus.

Glorficus smiled and in a huge bright red explosion of light a fancy mansion appeared from no where. She smiled, her eyes filling with a cold evil emotion that could kill a man if he looked in too deep. In her hands she held a glass ball. She brought the ball to her crimson lips and she kissed it. The ball lit up from within a pink light filled the ball and she whispered to it softly.

" Holy, Holy ball, Loyal and powerful alliance of Glorficus show me what I desire, Show me the face of The Key."

A gold sparkle lit up in the middle of the now pink ball and suddenly a boy's face filled the ball. She gasped at The Key's beauty. The boy's hair was the purest of blacks and the most shiny hair of any human. And his eyes, eyes of the deepest of blues, so dark and mysterious Glorficus felt drawn to them. And his skin, his skin was so pale and flawless. He was beautiful, beautiful and he was The Key.

" Your mine beautiful, I'll find you Key."

Hey ! What do you think ? Review and I'll update soon, incase any of you are having trouble with the plot here's my summary !

Summary

Holly and Mulch found this sacred box containing legendary scrolls, Opening the box they later find out, after Foaly translates the scripts. Releases a magical energy known as The Key. Foaly works out from the Scripts that Artemis is The Key, they only know him because it's part of the magic of the Key to make a space for it's existence and intrude into another family. To do that the magic immediately implants false magical memories based on the character of the human key into all those that The Key will affect, making the people feel like they've known Artemis for years not hours. Artemis is The Key in human form and he has no recollection of ever being the energy.

Glorficus is the the major God of the fairies. She is the warrior God for the faires that promised them freedom. The power of The Key is absolute, if Glorficus can release the power within the human form of the Key the world as known will collapse and faires will take their place on the surface. The entire human species will be wiped out. But Glorficus can only carry out the ritual on a specific night. A week after The Key's release. Glorficus now knows what The Key looks like and she will stop at nothing until she finds Artemis and performs the ritual so she can return to power

Hope that helps !
