Months passed.
The East Branch had long finished construction.
The South was catching up quickly.
At first, he had expected the South to move cautiously.
But Seravelle's testimony had changed the mood.
After that, the Monastery moved. Monks and nuns arrived at the southern construction site to help in labor.
That part made Anvil-Horn nod in approval from the North when he read the report.
The South wanted the branch finished as soon as possible.
Because they wanted to see the miracles Seravelle had described.
That desire became work.
And work became faith.
Lucien's Divine Energy Core an the Tree of Creation drank the first thin streams from the South and rustled with satisfaction.
Lucien smiled.
The South had not fully joined yet.
But it had begun to answer.

Meanwhile, the East had already opened.
The East Main Branch was beautiful. Painfully beautiful.
Lilith had understood the East too well.
The branch became known as Dawnforge.
The name spread quickly.
