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...
