¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨ 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... ##¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨
