After a moment, he decides something, makes sure the others are not looking, and very carefully removes one of his thick gloves, the one on his left hand---the same one that glowed bluish-black earlier and helped down the Captain with its touch. Beneath it was a hand, but a hand marked with a twisted, scar-like red-blue mark that crosses both sides of the hand. It was almost wound-like, but also seemed to throb with... something... just glazing at it."Aberrant marks are a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural. But they are not. They are a part of this world just as are the Dragonmarks, just as I am, just as you are. There is nothing wrong with them... they are a pathway to power, just as is the sword, the book, or the prayer. Do not fear your mark, Jango. Accept it... embrace it. It is who you are. Do not forget."The monster hunter stares at the boy a bit, the intensity of his gaze hopefully delivering his message. Before the others can come back in, he quickly replaces the glove, hiding his secret blessing once again.</blockquote>
