¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨#¨ #¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨
¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨ 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... ¨¨¨¨#¨¨#¨¨
