What do you want?"As you stare at the statue, nothing is heard.  Not inside your head, nor in the chamber at all.Until the sounds of footsteps come up to you from behind and to the right.  And then Ari Osten arrives to speak to you.  Through your small conversations with the hexblade, you hear nothing but his voice.  Then you turn and whisper under your breath to the statue again."Why I have been marked? What is that mark? From where it come from? Do you know it?"Suddenly, the inhuman voice inside your head suddenly comes to life again. "Jango..."Ari takes off his glove and shows you his own aberrent mark.  But as he talks to you, the voice in your head breaks in with comments of it's own."Aberrant marks Khyber's glory are a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural a gift from Khyber. But they are not. They are a part of this world under this world just as are the Dragonmarks the false marks, just as I am, just as you are Khyber's children. There is nothing wrong with them a gift... they are a pathway to power your power, just as is the sword, the book, or the prayer prayer to the Dragon Below. Do not fear your mark, Jango Jango. Accept it... embrace it learn from the dragon. It is who you are a child of Khyber. Do not forget never forget."The points that this other voice said to you are still echoing through your skull.  You respond to Ari in turn, but again... as you speak the voice inside your head says things to you.  You do not speak out loud what the voice says... but perhaps it colors your thoughts?  Interesting.  Knowledgable."There is too few things know about those mark Khyber knows, but I think some answers are hidden here yes. I hope to find some. I want to understand you will learn. I don't fear my mark. I fear the people not Khyber's people. The houses have killed the bloodline who were carrying these marks ursurpers. And if my mark become too strong, they might want to kill me they will kill you... and my mark is growing in power."You turn back to the statue once more.  The voice has been getting stronger.  More knowledgable.  It seems to want to explain things to you.  It NEEDS to explain things to you... who you are... what the mark means... why you are important.  But it can't.  Too much interference from those who wouldn't understand.  You ask the voice with just your mind..."Two dragon marked... here in this room... is it a coincidence?""No... not coincidence... but only one... can deal... with their potential... the other... the angry one... will not accept... will not learn... only you... have potential... to learn what your mark truly means..."This time the voice is very strong.  And proud.  And dare you think it... happy?  That you have responded mentally to it's voice?  That you are willing to listen to what it has to say?"You must go... leave for now and take your friends... but... you can return... I hope you return... here is the knowledge you need to return... I long to speak to you again... you have comforted me... please... return... Jango..."And suddenly within your memories you are given the secrets with which you will need if you desire to return to this place.  It wants you to go for now and return home with the group.  But if you desire to return to learn what the mark that is itching truly is... you now know how.And the voice is silent.[/sblock]</blockquote>
