&&&&¨&¨¨&¨ 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... ¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨
¨¨&&¨&&¨&¨ &&&&¨&¨&&¨
