Amelia woke the next morning, and found herself staring at the remnants of the geode.
"WHA...?!" She leapt up in alarm. "Mr. Zelgadis! Miss Lina! Mr. Gourry! It's broken!"
"Well," Lina shrugged. "Nothing we can do about that now. Let's concentrate on getting into the temple."
"Maybe if we go there," Amelia offered, "there will be something about what kind of power is needed."
"That sounds like a good idea," Gourry agreed.
The foursome were met by a shock when they got to the topmost step.
The gate was open.
"But I thought that man said only something that combined the magic of two people could open the temple." Amelia said.
"Well, if something can override a temple's magic, it's probably very powerful. So let's be very careful." Lina went silent as she and the others walked into the open temple.
The sight that met there eyes was one that made them all go slackjawed with shock.
A girl, no more than six years old in appearance, was praying, quietly, in the middle of the temple.
She was naked, but undisturbed by her lack of clothing, as if she had no become accustomed to such things.
Her hair was long and with streaks of blue and black, she had one human eye and one demon eye, and her skin, though clearly made of stone and pebbles, seemed to be made of polished white marble rather than slate.
Zelgadis wasted no time in removing his cloak and covering the child with it.
"Who is she?" Gourry wanted to know. "Where did she come from?"
Zelgadis looked meaningfully at Amelia. "I think she came from the geode." he reasoned.
"Then you mean...?!" Amelia squeaked.
Zelgadis nodded. "That child is our daughter, Amelia."
