26 Well-prepared plans affect on people’s courage. Artemis was not scared with that weird creature’s threat. He knew that the rice wine had dulled the fairy’s senses 2001: 6. Artemis was really well-prepared in this kind of work and for some motives of course. In the end, this kind of characteristics would put him in the advantage. Before Artemis planned to abduct one of the fairies to be used as a hostage to get some gold, Artemis also gave a command to Butler to prepare some basic field equipment, even the weird one for moonlight jaunts 2001: 47. Careful characteristic of Artemis could also be seen again when he successfully took down Holly. Butler helped him with it. It can be seen as follows: “Sir? Hmm? Butler was pointing to the creatures helmet. It was half- buried in a drift of leaves where the fairy had dropped it. A buzzing noise was coming from the crown. Artemis picked up the contraption by the straps, searching for the source. Ah, here we are. He plucked the viewcam from its slot, careful to point the lens away from him. ’Fairy technology. Most impressive, he muttered, popping the battery from its groove. The camera whined and died. Nuclear power source, if Im not mistaken. We must be careful not to underestimate our opponents.” 53 This kind of characteristic made him worked like a pro. Artemis always checked all the probabilities he might had when he worked. It can be seen when he found a locator and he decided to believe that the other fairies would chase him and Butler and he had to make a new plan 2001: 58-59. 27 Another successful plan because of this characteristic happens on page 86-88. Artemis came to make sure that Butler did his job well. Butler was still monitoring the situation in the Manor. Artemis did not want to have an uninvited guest. He succeeded to realize that some fairies were heading toward the Manor to save Holly. Artemis decided to use Holly’s helmet as a weapon to help Butler expel them away from the Manor and finally it worked. A phrase said that nobody’s perfect in this world is true. It also happened in Artemis. Although he was very careful and genius but he still had a lack of understanding with the fairies and he seemed to underestimate them. It almost ruined the whole plans of Artemis. There were four incidents that almost ruined Artemis plan. The first was that Artemis thought that LEP Lower Element Police would use the normal and straight way as he had already predicted, but then it was wrong. Julius Root, the commander of LEP used an unorthodox action to stop Artemis. Root plans to send Mulch Diggums, a kleptomaniac dwarf, to sneak into the Manor 2001: 114-116. Mulch had an incredible ability in digging and he easily got into the Manor without being noticed by Artemis and Butler 2001: 118- 119. Mulch finally found a copy of Fairy’s book that was hidden by Artemis in his safety box 2001: 124. The second was Foaly, a genius centaur who built the security for the fairies life, successfully hijacked Artemis’ computer and gave him a loop 2001: 125. The third was Holly,
