&,&&,,,&,, ,,,\,,, &,,,&&&,,,
,,&&&,,,&, ,&,,&,&&,,
,,&,&&,,,& 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... ,,&,&&,,,,
