}}'''The Apple-of-the-Eye''', also known as the '''the Glorious Lie''', '''the Tower of Treasures''', '''the Rood''' and '''the Eye-Closed''' is one of the Hours of the Fansus, created by Amets. It is a God-From-Light and resides in the [[Glassgarden]]. Its primary aspect is [[Lantern]], with a secondary aspect of [[Moth]] and a distant, unacknowledged possibility of [[Grail]]. The Apple-of-the-Eye provides the [[Marks of Clarity]].
== History ==
The Maiden would be very easily mistaken for a statue, if statues were ever made with such detail (or with such verdant nephrite). She is quite content to stay like this.
=== Marks of Clarity ===
I have tasted the fruits of the Apple-in-the-Eye, known as the Glorious Lie. Every hour, I look upon myself in the mirror, and every hour I am brought to the edge of tears by my many imperfections. I know this to be the Third Mark.
The Fourth Mark is a loss of colour and the beginning of transparency. I am growing paler by the day, and rainbows dance at the tip of my hair whenever I pass under the sun.
At the Fifth Mark, the body is no longer wounded, but cracked. My blood is frozen crystal, and my eyes are the colour of gems. I can see my muscles through my skin. I long for compliments.
The Sixth Mark is said to occur when one is more beautiful than the person they see in the mirror. In my reflection, I can see my heart plainly, alongside all the pathways of blood. I am no longer capable of tears nor laughter.
