&¨¨¨¨&¨&¨& 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... ¨¨&&&¨&¨¨&
