Just for clarification, LEL stands for Land Eating Leviathan. Also I apologize if this chapter is too short.
With trembling hands Craven gently stroked the glass that separated him from his daughter. "She's in there suffering, I wonder if it's worth it." Craven muttered to himself as her turned his back and fell to the ground clutching his chest.
The glass parted and Clair witnessed the last moments of her father's fatal heart attack. She stretched her hand forth as if to grab a hold of his jacket, but her hand passed right through. Craven's form became translucent as water. And with a startled jerk Clair tired to pull her hand out of her father's corpse.
With the compressed sound of a soul exploding Clair's father Craven disintegrated into golden dust. With a scream Clair slammed both of her fists into the floor in shock, a bolt of lightning tore the lab in half and Clair was sitting at the bottom of a gigantic underground crater.
The walls were now made of crystallized fire, the heat was hotter than hell and Clair absorbed the energy like a sponge. The more she absorbed the more the heat intensified, and a crack opened up at the bottom of the crater and started to stretch in two directions.
The sphere looked as if it was trying to tear itself in half, and Clair would be in the middle of the explosion. A chrysalis fire sphere, a magical anomaly search for fare and wide by the supernatural creatures of the night, and Clair was destroying it.
With a final spark the crack stopped halfway to it's goal, and formed into an ugly black gloss less stone ridge. With panting breaths Clair stepped off the crag scar and onto the still active part of the sphere. Where her feet touched the magic died, and with each step the area of effect around her feet grew.
With dread in her voice and in her soul Clair realized aloud, "I absorb fire, and destroy it."
"Not quite my dear." The voice snarled and two figures dropped down unto the crag scar. Both of them seemed to glow in the presence of the chrysalis fire, their claws glowed red-hot and their bodies grew red crag armor.
"You are the land eating leviathan, just look between you breasts." The second crag guardian spoke, this one was larger than the other, but he burned less brightly than the smaller one.
Looking down Clair saw a dangling wolfs head shaped pendant sitting exactly between where her breasts should be. With a shock Clair realized that she had lost her genitals, not just that she had lost her human body.
With a sizzling crackle of power the two crag guardians pulled the crag scar out of the chrysalis of fire. The resulting implosion forced the LEL deep into the ground, trapped inside the most magically potent prison, "How long do we have until the LEL awakens?"
Charlie the crag guardian looked into Paul's eyes with sadness, "These gifts that have been given to us are temporary, we must either use them to keep the LEL in her prison for years, or we could leave and LEL would awake and devour the world."
"How would she do that?" Paul asked, "She absorbs magic and destroys it."
"What do you think is holding the earth together?" Charlie says, and with a sigh gives up the answer to Paul's question, "The most powerful magic of all, Nature."
