¨¨@@@@¨¨@¨ 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... ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
