&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨& ¨¨¨/¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨ 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... ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨&
