#¨¨¨¨¨#¨## 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... ¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨
