"So," Lina inverse said, to the man sitting across from her at the table. "What you're saying is that if we join our powers, we'll be able to unlock the Golden Temple?"
"You don't need a spell, just join your powers," the man told her.
"Very interesting," Zelgadis remarked as he joined them.
"I'll say. So it's the magic itself, not the spell that we need."
"It says, the right combination will create something that will be the key to opening the temple."
"Well, let's start trying," Lina cheered.

A hundred or so explosions later, it was once again Lina and Gourry's turn to make the attempt. Their magic flowed, encircled each other, and for a time seemed to work. Then, flowers began to pop up in Gourry's power and Lina's power became a fire which incinerated the flowers.
"Well, that didn't work," Xelloss observed. "Next."
"Our turn," Zelgadis and Amelia stepped forward. Their energies combined, their powers increasing in tandem until the two streams of power coalesced into a large stone sphere the same color as Zelgadis's stone skin.
"What is that?" Lina blinked.
"I don't know, Miss Lina." Amelia admitted, looking to Zelgadis in hope of learning the answer from him.
Zelgadis merely shrugged.
"Oh my," Xelloss pondered, amusedly. "I don't know what you'll achieve with a mere geode, no matter how big it is. Plus, it's so large, there's no way to get it up the mountain and into the temple."
Lina looked over at the setting sun. "It's getting late. Let's get some sleep, and we'll try again in the morning."
