There would be no hiding it now.He looked to the others while pulling at the heavy glove off his left hand. "I was not affected as far as I can tell for a simple reason. Have you ever wondered the source of a hexer's power? It isn't taught. Its innate. And most everyone learned I've spoken to about it associates it with Khyber. Well, She's certainly touched me."The hexer loosens the final finger, and then pulls of the sinister glove. And that is when it is revealed. All blues and red, a scar that is not a tattoo, a matrix of swirls and blisters. But unlike the aberrant marks recently exhibited, Ari's mark is more---larger and more intense. To Jango, the only other to see the mark, it is a surprise: Where once it covered both sides of his hands, now its complex whorls cover his fingers as well, more livid than it ever was. To Khalia and Donovan, its almost as if it thrums."I have always been marked, and learned long ago the lesson to master it. I control it as I would my blade or my magics. It is the lesson of power I spoke of earlier. This... growth is recent, since the chamber in the jungle. Not the tomb below the temple. So our new marks... I cannot help but believe its from the temple somehow."</blockquote>
