¨§§¨¨§¨§§§     these, it is heavily infused with    ¨§¨§§¨¨¨¨¨
§¨§¨§§§¨¨§  quartz. in the faint light of the cave, §§§¨§¨¨¨¨¨

§§¨§§¨§¨¨¨   the hall it looks little more than a   §¨§§§§§§§¨
¨§§¨§§§¨¨¨    bump in the pile. when awake, when    §§¨¨¨¨¨¨§§
§¨§§¨¨§¨¨¨  soaring, it becomes a facet of the sky  ¨§¨¨¨¨¨§¨§
§§¨§¨§§¨¨¨  itself. but here and now it is asleep,  §§¨¨¨¨§§§¨
