Let's start this chapter, friends!

Mark of the angel

Jewel was struggling to get free from the green mud that was holding her on the rock, in the middle of the room.

"Let me out of here!" She screamed while trying to get free.

"Don't waste your time; you can escape." Marco said as he entered the room with a hoodied mate.

"Let me out of here!" Jewel screamed while attemtping to get free.

Marco chuckled and patted her head.

"Calm down; there is someone who you will be happy to see." He said with gesturing to his mate.

This last one removed his hoodie to reveal Blu.

Jewel was shocked to see her husband completely dark with red eyes and veins and with scars on his chest and cheeks.

"B-Blu?!" She said in fear.

"I'm not Blu." He responded with his demon voice. "My name is Nightmare."

Jewel looked in shock. "N-Nightmare? Blu! It's me! It's Jewel!" She said, trying to bring him back to his senses.

"Don't waste your time, dear Jewel." Marco said as he took a kind of metal object in his wing.

He then putted it on Jewel stomach and it started to burn, leaving smoke escaping it.

Jewel screamed in pain as the object was burning her stomach skin, making Marco chuckles as her agony was amusing him.

After a good moment, Marco removed the object to reveal that there was now a kind of white mark on Jewel's belly.

"W-What is this?" Jewel asked with a tear in her eye because of the pain.

Marco smirked. "It's long to explain, but I'm gonna take my time." He said as he sat near her.

"You see, before the order of phoenixes was created, there was another odrder who ruled; the order of dragons! They ruled for centuries until the order of phoenixes managed to neutralize them all. I found a way to ressurect them and to end the phoenixes's rules once and for all!" He said in a sadistic tone.

Jewel gulped. "W-What is that way?"

"It's simple; I must put the ressurection mark on a pure soul to allow them to come back in the living world. Looks like it will be you. You can be proud. Tonight, when the full moon wll shine, the dragons will be back!"

Marco said as he was about to leave the room with Nightmare.

"Now, excuse-me, but we have a Rio Army to destroy."

"Wait! What will happen to me after the dragons will be ressurected?" Jewel asked.

Marco looked at her with a smirk. "Let's say you will join your ancestors in the afterlife."

He said with leaving the room with a shocked Jewel looking in horror at the mark on her stomach.


Meanwhile, into the shrine, Fenn gasped.

"What is it, Fenn?" Felina asked him.

Fenn was standing around a table along with Felina, the red phoenix, Ferris, the green phoenix, Perry, the yellow phoenix, Sixion, the orange phoenix, and Polo, the purple phoenix.

The 6 phoenixes decided to reunite for a meeting about the NWO situation.

"I don't know, I felt like something bad just happened..."

Yup, you're right, Fenn; bad things are happening.
