###§$†~:¨¨ NAFTAKIN, THE BLIND ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ ¨¨¨†¨¨¨ ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ A STUDENT AT THE CHARCOAL GUILD... HIS ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ EYES SEWN SHUT FROM BIRTH... THE MOST ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ SUCCESSFUL STUDENT ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ BUT ONE DAY HE FELL DOWN INTO A CRYSTAL ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ CAVERN. IT WAS DEEP IN THE MOUNTAIN, A ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ GREAT HALL WITH ONLY A SINGLE TINY ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ INLET FOR BOTH LIGHT AND FALLING ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ STUDENTS... ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ IN THE FALL, THE QUARTZ SLICED OFF THE ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ THREADS IN HIS EYES, OPENING THEM FOR ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ THE FIRST TIME. BEFORE HIM, THE ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ CRYSTALS MIRRORED AND REFRACTED THE ONE ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ LIGHT SMIDGE INTO A WHOLE NIGHT SKY, ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ AND HE WAS STRUCK DOWN WITH AWE ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ BUT ALSO WITH SHAME, BECAUSE HIS EYES ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ HAD SEEN. HURRIEDLY, HE USED THREAD ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ FROM HIS ROBE TO SEW THEM BACK ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ TOGETHER, AND WHEN HELP CAME HE DID NOT ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ TELL OF HIS TRANSGRESSION. ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ FOR YEARS HE STUDIED AT THE GUILD. HE ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ BECAME A MASTER, AND THEN A PILGRIM. ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ YET THE IMAGE FROM THE CAVE NEVER LEFT ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ HIM. ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ ¨¨:~†$§###
####§$†~:¨ AT THE END OF HIS LIFE, WHEN AT THE ¨:~†$§####
###§$†~:¨¨ EDGE OF THE WORLD HE OPENED HIS EYES ¨¨:~†$§###
##§$†~:¨¨¨ FOR A SECOND TIME, STARS HAD HATCHED IN ¨¨¨:~†$§##
###§$†~:¨¨ THEM... ¨¨:~†$§###
