¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# 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.                   ¨#¨#¨#¨##¨

##¨##¨##¨# Edge  Of The  World  He Opened His  Eyes ##¨#¨#¨¨#¨
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# For A Second Time, Stars Had  Hatched In ¨#¨#¨#¨##¨
##¨##¨##¨#                  Them...                 ##¨#¨#¨¨#¨
