¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨ 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... &&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
