NOAH
Their work was not in vain and Noah was grateful for it. The sweat of their brows and the ache in their backs would be all worth it when the world was connected to Halo and Halo to it -- without the use of the portal. He could feel the delight clinging to his throat as they settled for the day, and as he moved home to crawl into bed with Cordelia and worship their work by way of sleep.
The next day was nothing short of what Halo offered -- her own will. Snow and ice clung to the construction site and Noah sighed, looking out through his fur-lined hood into the snowy world he loved. "Evie, would you mind helping me with the perimeter?" Her magic had proved quite useful the day before when they were moving and setting the struts, and he could surely use someone's help that would be less likely to succumb to slipping on the ice. "I think we might have a good chance if you follow along from below the platform and send the poles up to me." Noah was willing to take the risk of slipping and falling off the platform because there was a high chance -- give by Vi -- that he wouldn't hit the ice.
Not hesitating any longer for the warden's answer, Noah set to work. He took one of the cords of rope and draped it over his chest, much like he would his bow. Then, he ascended the platform and with as much care and attention he could give, started placing and pounding the first pole into place.

i'd fashioned my own cross
been crushed by its weight
there's no stronger message
than dirt in your face
