&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨\¨¨¨ &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨ A STUDENT AT THE CHARCOAL GUILD... HIS ¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨ EYES SEWN SHUT FROM BIRTH... THE MOST ¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ SUCCESSFUL STUDENT ¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨ ¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨ BUT ONE DAY HE FELL DOWN INTO A CRYSTAL &¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨ CAVERN. IT WAS DEEP IN THE MOUNTAIN, A &&¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨&& GREAT HALL WITH ONLY A SINGLE TINY ¨&&¨¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&& INLET FOR BOTH LIGHT AND FALLING ¨&&&¨¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨ STUDENTS... ¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨ IN THE FALL, THE QUARTZ SLICED OFF THE ¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ THREADS IN HIS EYES, OPENING THEM FOR ¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨ THE FIRST TIME. BEFORE HIM, THE ¨¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨ CRYSTALS MIRRORED AND REFRACTED THE ONE ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨ LIGHT SMIDGE INTO A WHOLE NIGHT SKY, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨¨&¨&&¨ AND HE WAS STRUCK DOWN WITH AWE &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨&&& ¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨¨&¨& BUT ALSO WITH SHAME, BECAUSE HIS EYES ¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨& HAD SEEN. HURRIEDLY, HE USED THREAD &¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨& FROM HIS ROBE TO SEW THEM BACK &&¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨ TOGETHER, AND WHEN HELP CAME HE DID NOT ¨&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨ TELL OF HIS TRANSGRESSION. ¨&&&¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ ¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&&& FOR YEARS HE STUDIED AT THE GUILD. HE ¨¨¨&&&¨¨&¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨& BECAME A MASTER, AND THEN A PILGRIM. ¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨&
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨& YET THE IMAGE FROM THE CAVE NEVER LEFT &¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨& HIM. ¨&¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨ AT THE END OF HIS LIFE, WHEN AT THE ¨¨¨&¨¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨ EDGE OF THE WORLD HE OPENED HIS EYES ¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨ FOR A SECOND TIME, STARS HAD HATCHED IN ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨&¨¨¨ THEM... ¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
