¨¨&&&&&¨¨& ¨¨¨\¨¨¨ ¨&¨&¨&&¨¨&
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨&& &&&&&¨&¨&&
&&¨¨¨&&&¨& 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... &¨¨¨¨&&&&&
