Chapter 13. Caves and Bones
What a day! We were successful in defeating, albeit temporarily, the Fire Pulser! I should note it didn’t happen exactly as the Fat Lady had said. Once the five diamonds were in place, instead of the shield we were expecting, a bright light shot between them, connecting them and forming a solid sphere around her. This circle, at least ten feet in diameter, glowed brighter and brighter until it became painful to look upon. However, after several minutes the light dimmed, and all that remained was a diamond ball with Lasia contained inside. I can only imagine her fury to see us there, watching her. As we did so, she pulsed fire from every inch of her body, and the diamond surrounding her became hot. We were quite surprised when we saw the dirt around the diamond begin to melt, and the sphere that encircled her start to sink. Eventually all that was visible were the top few feet of the diamond, which we promptly covered in dirt.
So much for the third element!
