&¨&&¨¨¨&&& NAFTAKIN, THE BLIND ¨¨&&¨&¨&¨&
&&¨&¨¨&¨¨& ¨¨¨^¨¨¨ ¨&¨&&&&&&¨
¨&&&¨&&¨&¨ &&&¨¨¨¨¨&&
&¨¨&&¨&&&& 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... &¨&&&&¨&&&
&&&¨&&&&¨¨ &&¨¨¨&&¨¨&
