If the true nature of those moons was not actually moons, and not even gateways to worlds, but rather the keys to prisons, then what she had cut away all those times was naturally not moonlight in the conventional sense.
She remembered the agonizing pain in her right eye every time she gathered moonlight.
Back in Lania Kaia and High Tower, collecting moonlight had hurt so badly that she would sometimes lose consciousness.
Later, however, it became much easier.
She did not believe that was simply because her tolerance for pain had improved.
Looking back now, the more likely explanation was that she had grown stronger.
Because she was stronger, she could withstand more of a prison's Order.
The Overseer's Eye she desired occupied nearly the entirety of Starsea.
How was she supposed to obtain it?
Where had Order Clock come from?
If the Overseer's Eye disappeared, how would this exile zone avoid attracting the attention of the higher-dimensional world?
