¨&&&&&¨¨¨¨ ¨¨&&&&¨¨&¨
¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨&&¨¨
