Ferra converted the bridge repair forge into a temporary anti-avatar workshop before the mint pressure settled. Witness Avatar metal occupied one side of the furnace, while certified palace iron waited separately until she proved neither carried a living soul.
Vella remained at the healer station and confirmed the divine pieces through Hajin's contract. Their authority had died with the empty avatar, leaving material that still remembered resistance against the capital foundation.
"I need three stakes before the Hunt moves again," Ferra said, sending one floating tool through the heated palace iron, "each grounds one transfer interval, and a fourth would connect more force than my Wing can survive."
Hajin arrived with Juna after clearing the mint. He kept every Ring closed while Ferra joined the first divine fragment around an iron shaft, because construction required her craft rather than his battle output.
