The next day everything was as per ussual, Gin was in the kitchen making the meal while the duo was in common room with two huge mountains of books in front of them searching for location of the temple related to their marks ,when Shun broke the silence saying "Last night after I went to my room and went to sleep I had a vision too.... Nothing related to my past but much rather vision of a future because in that vision our marks have changed. Mine at least that is"
As Lucy heard that she got her head out of books and looked at her friend " What do you mean mark changed? How exactly? Or better yet changed in what exactly? " Boy smiles "Don't worry I was just getting there. So.... My mark started glowing dark blue light as per ussual but then glow got stronger and mark just dissapeared and was replaced by something else much more weird" Shun was drawing the mark he was in a vision as he was explaining it to his friend and as soon he finished his drawing he showed it to his friend

"That's strange..... So what happened to old marks" - Lucy asks with worried look on her face
Boy nods "About that..... Our marks didn't vanish from existance as you would suspect but rather they appeared on a person who after fusing with marks became a dragon-like creature
Lucy looked at him surprised when she burst out laughing " HAHAHA! Are you sure that you wasn't watching too much sci-fi movies suddenly ? But really thanks for a great laugh"
"Sure..... *He looks at her and roll his eyes* but anyways I indeed hope it was just some silly dream but we will see how this mistery unfolds" Shun replayed a bit dissapointed
"Don't tell me you are mad at me now " - Lucy giggles at him and gets up "Come on let's go for a walk, we can clear out toughts,so we might discover something along the way " She grabs Shun's hand and start to drag him off his chair

"HEY! Stop that! I can walk on my own two feet you know? Mark my words I will get you for this" - Shun said and frowns in defeat allowing his friend to drag him away as she smirks " Oh~ what are you gonna do exactly? Wait! Don't tell me , are you maybe in love with me?~" She says in a teasing voice which made her companion to fluster: " W-WHAT?! N-NO! Of course not!"

"I am just kidding you know? Or Am I? Who knows " she smiles letting go of his arm. " Then are we going on the tour around town or not" Shun asks with a smile opening the doors of his room " my lady after you" he adds with a smirk as he bows gesturing for her to pass

That's how the duo wandered through the city in hope of finding what they were looking for untill they came across the strange dressed woman that gave them directions to the temple and without more interaction she tried to flee away but in that moment Shun held her hand not letting the woman get away "That's you,right? It has to be you? The lady who warned my mother of those marks" - he said that with schock as his mark reacted to the woman and starts to glow dark blue as aura of the same colour starts to surounds the boy.
"Oh~ so it is you I tought I recognized you boy *she smirks* you have grown a lot since last time and if i may add found another one of "cursed"

"No! It was the other way around because she found me " - Shun said with annoyed voice as woman smiles "my apologize dear Shun, there is no need to be so mean to me after all we are on the same side Here" - as she said that the mark that Lucy had been covering up started to glow bright orange as Lucy was getting covered in orange aura and to prevent to much attention woman pulled the two kids aside "I have nothing much to say to be honest except for be carefull when approaching the temple because the person you are looking for is one of you but he is not really social-type

Shun & Lucy looked at each other then at the lady as Lucy asks the lady what does she mean by that

She looks at the girl " Well....there were reports of People missing around the temple and I believe the kid you looking for have Assaulted and killed all the missing people but you should be fine cuz the marks will protect you both" - she walks away but whispers to Lucy before she vanish " My Crimson Queen you should be very carefull"

Lucy stood in place for a minute like frozen muttering "H-How does she know about my Nightmares? About the nickname? Why does she know all of that? Something here is not right I can feel it"
Shun walks to her and poke her forhead "You ok there? What's wrong?" Lucy nods "I will be fine but that woman was strange. I have never seen her in my life yet I felt like she knows everything about me" Shun walks over and pulls her into a hug "just stay calm , I promised to protect you" . Lucy pulls away and nods looking down "never hug me out of blue you idiot! " She squeel and walk away as Shun was following her
They walked like that for a while untill they have reached the temple entrance but as they arrived the horror appeared before their eyes
In front of entrance were bones some dried blood and few pudle of fresh blood. Standing there scared Lucy asked sheaking in fear from dozens of bones in her sight " A-are those human bones? Is he a cannibal? " - girl asked scared as her skin tuned white from fear and sickness when in that moment her mark lit up and big phoenix appeared behind her covering her with his wings
