¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§ 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 §¨§¨§¨§§¨§

¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§ 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. §¨§¨§¨§§¨§
