¨¨.«;$%### naftakin, the blind ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## ¨¨¨;¨¨¨ ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### a student at the charcoal guild... his ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### eyes sewn shut from birth... the most ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## successful student ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### but one day he fell down into a crystal ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### cavern. it was deep in the mountain, a ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## great hall with only a single tiny ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### inlet for both light and falling ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### students... ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## in the fall, the quartz sliced off the ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### threads in his eyes, opening them for ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### the first time. before him, the ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### crystals mirrored and refracted the one ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## light smidge into a whole night sky, ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### and he was struck down with awe ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### but also with shame, because his eyes ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## had seen. hurriedly, he used thread ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### from his robe to sew them back ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### together, and when help came he did not ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### tell of his transgression. ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### for years he studied at the guild. he ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### became a master, and then a pilgrim. ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### yet the image from the cave never left ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## him. ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### ###%$;«.¨¨
¨.«;$%#### at the end of his life, when at the ####%$;«.¨
¨¨.«;$%### edge of the world he opened his eyes ###%$;«.¨¨
¨¨¨.«;$%## for a second time, stars had hatched in ##%$;«.¨¨¨
¨¨.«;$%### them... ###%$;«.¨¨
