Ferra joined the furnace network without joining the metals inside it while keeping both materials separate behind the protected line.
The right-hand furnace held preserved avatar material heated until white-gold layers separated from Dominion commands. The left held cleansed Underworld alloy in patient black-red silence.
That second furnace radiated fierce heat after Vella confirmed that no trapped soul remained. Five surviving masterworks connected both heat sources through Ferra's second Wing.
"No blending," Ferra said while setting separate anvils beneath her tools, "because they answer opposite parts of one seam, but each edge must remain itself."
Didi placed Crowned Frost around the demonic billet while one surviving ownership phrase surfaced through the heat. The phrase tried to classify the future wielder as Underworld harvest.
"Command exposed," Didi said while freezing the sentence without cooling the metal.
"Remove this layer, so nothing beneath it claims a person."
