¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&¨ ¨¨¨^¨¨¨ ¨&&&¨&&&¨&
&&¨&¨¨¨¨&& &&¨¨&&¨¨&&
¨¨&&&¨¨¨&¨ 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... &¨&&¨&¨&¨¨
