Yes, yes I know I'm borrowing my concept for the Soul Patch on MLP's Cutie Marks...A few years ago I toyed with the idea of giving Humanimals cutie mark-like symbols of their talents but I decided that Humanimals have previously had no such reason to have things before so they don't need them now...And a cutie mark system wouldn't work for Humanimals, they just don't work that way...With Revenants the Soul Patch is symbolic of a superpower which corresponds with their talent...So like a Revenant with a Musical Soul Patch would also have a super powerful voice. Also it helps with the ongoing ideological battle between Apollo and Artemis as a Revenant will only gain their Soul Patch when they embrace their individuality and not Apollo's idea of being 'One Animal in Many Bodies' Also I feel I should note, when I looked up Ring Neck Snakes I saw they were actually nocturnal when I previously stated Ringo was diurnal...Let's just say, Ringo was so traumatized by his own death it temporarily through his Biorhythms out of wack, and that he may have started sleeping at night because the dark reminded him of his trauma.

Meanwhile back at First Earth, Zander walked into the Tribe's Library to find Matoaka asleep on a sofa, several books were on the table in front of her. It seemed no matter how much sleep she got, the blackness in her eyelids never went away.

"Mattie..." Zander cooed sympathetically as he went over to her to wake her.

"Your mane is a mess." He said as she slowly yawned and stretched "Let me help you with that."

With his semi-retractable talons he could works through the knots and tangles of her mane more delicately than any human-made brush or comb ever could.

"Has Murial been telling you some good stories?" Zander asked as he worked his index talon on a particularly troublesome knot.

Matoaka yawned again "She has..." She said through her yawn "...I'm learning quite a bit about the Eden Lands."

"Mattie..." Zander said finally feeling he had to ask the question that had been on his mind for some time now. "...If you needed another Humanimal to talk to...Why didn't you just call Belladonna, maybe even ask her to come over?"

"I guess I just figured it was best to leave her alone..." Matoaka sighed "...After…What had happened at the wedding."

"Are you sure she wouldn't have wanted someone to talk to?" Zander asked

"I couldn't have gotten what I needed from her at the moment." Matoaka said her general unwellness causing her to be more brutally honest than usual. "She wasn't born a Humanimal."

"Uh...Huh..." Zander took note of that, and he was beginning to see maybe Belladonna was right to think her Herd Siblings would think differently of her if she revealed her true origins, not hate or even dislike her...But simply think she no longer 'counts' as a 'True Humanimal'

"What about Uncle Fossil?" Zander asked "Where's he?"

"He's currently very busy beginning Aurora's Shaman training." Matoaka said "I don't want to bother him when he's doing something so important."

At that very moment, Fossil was preparing a ritual with Aurora, he had the Pangolin-Girl lie down on her back while he rubbed something on her bare chest.

"This is an ancient herbal mixture..." Fossil said "...Passed down by generations of Shamans..."

"I can smell that." The Blind Pangolin mumbled "That's Vicks VapoRub...Why would you lie about something like that?"

Fossil realized that this Pangolin-Girl was much more clever than she initially seemed...He wouldn't be able to get away with her the same things he got away with Matoaka and the other Cubs.

At Earth 6 as night fell...The Heroes had to make camp in the desert, Eartha said they would reach New Eden the next day. Everyone was glad as they were tired of walking over the hard stones of the desert.

That night, the skies were clear, and for the first time, Eartha saw the stars again...Although it was very different seeing them from the Earth's Surface and not seeing the Earth from above at the same time.

She gazed at the stars as everyone got out their sleeping bags and prepared for sleep. Eartha didn't feel the least bit tired and instead gazed enraptured at all the twinkling lights in the sky.

"Can't sleep either huh?" Ringo said as he slithered up to her

"I'm surprised you aren't sleeping already." Eartha said "I thought you were Diurnal."

"Eartha...I'm actually nocturnal." Said Ringo as his serpentine tongue flickered in and out "...I don't know why I started sleeping at night after my bones were re-fleshed I just suddenly...Didn't like the dark so much anymore."

Eartha's gray eyes widened "Oh really?" She said "It isn't just that you're scared to sleep now that there are humans with us..."

Ringo folded his arms "I'm wary, but I'm not a completely terrified!" He hissed

Suddenly Eartha covered his mouth with her large pink hand "Ringo..." She said quietly "...I see something!"

The two turned to see two of the Strangers from another World...The Turtle who called himself Raphael (Who was easily identifiable by his many scars and his covered right-eye) and The Black and White Cat named Olive who had chosen Raphael as her mate, (Which was more than a bit strange to Eartha and Ringo...What would their children look like?) Were sneaking away from the rest of the group, quietly chuckling as they did so.

Eartha and Ringo decided to follow them, for no reason other than they were curious.

Finding a large plateau of rock on which to lie down on, Raph and Olive decided this was the perfect time for some erotic play, before they reached New Eden and all those giant insects.

Eartha and Ringo watched from a distance, their dark coloring camouflaging them perfectly in the night. As the two of them watched Raph delivering a series of kisses first on Olive's face then down her neck...down her arm...Eartha began to feel strange feelings within her...She had never seen male and female animals doing this with each other...She had seen them licking each other, and she had seen them mounting, which means to say she only ever saw Animals having sex doggy-style. But what she was seeing right here and now was new and thrilling to her…

It was new and thrilling to Ringo as well, and he was asking himself if this was how he should mate with the Black Mamba if she were to accept him as her mate.

Eartha turned to Ringo and said to him in Animal Language "Kek-Ker-Roo"

(I can hear the seeds deep within the Earth...They are singing!)

Ringo couldn't hear anything coming from underground. But Eartha sighed and caressed the ground and as she did so...Desert Plants began to sprout.

As Olive began to meow as Cats tend to do when they mate, Eartha became more excited and her excitement caused an enormous Saguaro Cactus to sprout right next to Raph and Olive-who had moved too close to the edge of the rock- so when the Cactus Sprouted, both Raph and Olive got their legs brutally scrapped by the cactus's rapid fire growth, both screamed with pain as it did so.

When they heard someone gasping behind them, they turned to see the Mole-Girl and Snake-Boy and Raph...not feeling particularly charitable that moment, went after them.

Everyone else was awakened when the two Revenants ran back into camp with Raph chasing and cussing after them.

Raph then grabbed Don's dufflebag and started whacking the two Revenants with

"LOUSY! FRICKIN! PEEPIN' TOMS!" Raph said as he wacked the two of them with the dufflebag filled with tools

"Raph!" Don exclaimed "What the shell happened?!"

It took a while but Raph, Eartha and Ringo divulged the whole story

"Raph..." Leo said as he rubbed his eyes "...This really isn't the best time to have sex."

"We meant no harm." Eartha said as she bowed "To us...Animals having sex is often done spontaneously as a celebration of physical beauty...We had no idea you didn't like to be watched."

"Cut them some slack Raph." Mikey said "They were raised in a freaky cult!"

Raph's leg was bleeding, the cuts weren't deep but they were many and some cactus spines were stuck in his leg, Olive's leg wasn't nearly as bad as her fur gave her quite a bit of protection against the spines.

Ichabod and Kong volunteered to help clean up their wounds, but as they were preparing their Medical Kits...Something began to happen with Eartha...She felt a burning sensation in her chest...She clutched her chest but that didn't seem to lesson the burden...finally, a light seemed to shine from her chest fur, everyone turned around and saw, the image of a vine with leaves appear on the center of her chest, first appearing as all white light then as it dimmed becoming a bright green vine with dark green leaves.

The spectacle was so great, it caused Raph to not care so much about his wounds and the fact the two had just been peeping on him and Olive.

"Holy shell." Raph said "What just happened?"

Ichabod was instantly reminded of when Morgan gave him the evil Mark of Power and he instantly turned to Marzipan and asked "What do you think?"

Marzipan walked over to Eartha and looked and new mark on her chest

"Don't smell anything too bad here." Marzipan said as she sniffed "The mark itself doesn't look too evil and the fact it is a vine may give a clue into why the plants sprouted...It seems it is a symbol of your power over plants Eartha."

"Oh wow!' Mikey exclaimed "Like she has a super power!"

"It seems that way." Marzipan said "Maybe this is something all Revenants can get."

"What do we call these marks?" Asked Morgan

"How about...Soul Patches?" Ichabod said "At least until another name is given."

Thus the 'Soul Patch' got its name.
