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...
