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