"I doubt it." Cassian shook his head. "This scar is almost ten years old, and it’s hardly a weakpoint - besides human body has many more places that would be more suitable."
"Yeah I agree with Cass, but I think you’re on the right track." Calen nodded.
"Look at other things then, maybe it’ll give us a clue." Isara said.
Calen moved his gaze between his other two companions, and frowned.

"There." He pointed at a large knot in the wooden surface. "It’s telling me that there’s something up with that spot."
By a coincidence he also caught a glimpse of another person - and what he saw made him pause and frown even harder.
Just to be sure, he looked at few other people, and sure enough, they all looked the same - their entire bodies were speckled with highlighted areas, as if they suffered from a bizzare kind of pox.
"So you can see something on everyone except us?" Elira rubbed her chin. "That’s a bit strange - what is the difference between us and them?"
"Maybe it’s because we were always protected by the flame?" Isara guessed.
