&,,&,,&,&& 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... ,&,,&,&&,,
