&&¨&¨¨¨&¨¨ ¨¨¨*¨¨¨ &&¨¨&¨&¨¨&
¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨ ¨¨&¨&&&&¨&
&¨&¨¨&¨&¨& 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... &&&&&&¨&¨¨
&&¨&¨¨¨&¨& ¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨
