¨¨&&¨&&¨&¨ 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... ¨¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨&& ¨¨¨¨&¨&¨¨¨
