Chapter 5: The Fourth Member
“Well Artemis?” Holly said with a slight smirk on her lips, “Go on. Explain to him what we are doing here.”
“Is that what he said?” Artemis asked, and Holly nodded.
“The gift of tongues…” Artemis muttered to himself before answering Link’s question:
“Perhaps I shall start with our names. I am Artemis Fowl II, this is Butler and this is Captain Holly Short. Holly, could you…?”
“Translate? Fine.” Holly said and began to translate;
“That thin, incredibly irritating boy there is called-“
“Artemis, yes. The Goron you call Butler called him it earlier, and they call you Holly, fellow Ordon.” Link cut in, leaving Holly slightly impressed that this boy could decipher names from a language he didn’t know, but also confused about the things he had talked about.
“Goron? Ordon?” Holly asked, only to receive a puzzled look from Link.
“Yes, a Goron; the mountain creatures I helped earlier in my travels. And I supposed you were an Ordon, on account of your pointed ears, but perhaps you are some sort of Zora?” Link went on, slightly relaxing his arm and taking his eyes off Butler to look at Holly.
Butler saw this as a chance to take down this Link, but Artemis realised this and laid a hand on his arm to signify not to do anything.
Butler gave Artemis a confused look, but did not move.
“A Zora?” said Holly, who was oblivious to what Artemis and Butler were doing; she was interested.
“Yes, a water being! They live in Lake Hylia and Zora’s Domain?” Link responded, completely confused that these beings didn’t have a clue about anything.
When all Holly responded to his answer with was a perplexed look on her face, Link asked:
“Where are you all from ‘cause you are definitely not from around here.” And he raised his bow properly again, encase these beings were more dangerous than he thought.
“Calm down!” Holly said to him, ready to use her mesmer if it was necessary. “We don’t want to hurt you. Just let me ask my friend here something and then we’ll tell you where we are from. Okay?” Holly said comfortingly to Link, and Link slowly nodded and lowered his bow again.
Holly turned to Artemis and told him all that Link had said to her.
Once she was finished, Artemis told her to translate for him:
“We have come looking for the item: the Jewel of Hearts. We aren’t thieves, but merely collectors of rare items. I apologise that I didn’t tell you this sooner, but my friend needed help and I do not speak your language(s) so I didn’t understand. As you already know, this is Captain Holly Short. She is the only one of us who can speak your language(s), so if you wish to say anything to us ask her, Butler and I will do the same if we wish to speak to you. I digress, we come from a far off land, and have not heard of the creatures you speak of, but we are eager learners. Unfortunately, we are on a tight schedule and only have till the end of the day to acquire the Jewel of Hearts.
Seeing as you seem to know about these lands and this temple, could we travel with you until we reach our destination?”
Once Holly had translated, Link thought it over and nodded for his reply.
Artemis smiled his vampire smile in gratitude and Link felt a chill go up his spine.
“Thank you. Now, my sources tell me that this Jewel is guarded by a giant arachnid- a big spider. Will you help us defeat it?”
Link nodded once again.
“Thank you again. Now, I suppose that if this is a temple that there will be…obstacles along the way, yes?”
Holly translated and Link yet again nodded.
“You probably know this temple better than we do, so would you lead?”
“Yes, follow me. But, I wish you to know that I still don’t trust you.” Link answered.
Holly then said to Link with a smile;
“With Artemis, that’s probably a good thing.”
Link said one more thing to Holly before they left the room.
“By the way, isn’t Artemis a girl’s name?”
Holly laughed and ignored Artemis’ quizzical looks.
The group walked on, unaware of the events that were soon to take place.
“Well Artemis?” Holly said with a slight smirk on her lips, “Go on. Explain to him what we are doing here.”
