"Calder- Amrita, wait!!" Malodore cried out, lunging for her; but its claws only sliced through mist, and it ended up slumped where she'd been, wings dragging, tail limp. The memories, the comparisons, were nearly overwhelming.
And then it felt Riley's fear and turned, moving the few steps to her side and crouching next to her, sweeping its wings around her protectively. "Lo so, lo so," it said, quietly. Because it did - it never, ever wanted to see anyone it knew, even vaguely, rendered grey and fading and broken. Except it was very certain that that desire was going to be crushed repeatedly in the coming hours...
It looked up, still sheltering her, gaze sober. Only the faint tremble of its wings betrayed its agitation. "Thank you, Calder - Christof... we will save her." It forced its voice to firm. "She has not yet been lost to us. There is yet hope..."

Amrita did not stay. Even with the attacks, she had hoped the undead would be weakened and dragged back out of this house, but she took her leave. Amrita was still in this place, and as long as she was here, she was in trouble. There was nothing good about this place. This place that showed up just as Amrita turned, and somehow appeared as if summoning all those students to betray them all. Her mind instantly went to think of the hunters, as was usually the case, and then of the discussion Calder and Amrita had about her time with the hunters. Amrita never wanted to be changed, used, and then harm her friends. She wouldn't allow that to happen to his best friend.
Agitated, the mare turned back and forth, tail lashing, nostrils flared, and every few steps digging at the earth. Looking over, she saw Malodore and Riley, and then moved over to Christof. "Why did you call Riley? She shouldn't be here."

"None of us should be here. This shouldn't be happening," Malodore declared, irritation - at the Insanity, not Calder - rising in its voice. "Not here, at this place - this place is already a dangerous nexus. It didn't need to be more dangerous, dannazione!" It flung all of its fear for Amrita into anger, transmuting it into something useful, not paralyzing.
"Mia cara... even I was not a weak point for you," it added, with a sigh. "I do not say that for you to blame yourself; simply that if my theories are correct, the Insanity gestalt consciousness overwhelms the host. The host becomes one of many, until the gestalt recedes. In theory."
Too many theories. Not enough concrete knowledge.

Riley was not so lucky. She knew exactly what Calder was suggesting, and she looked entirely put out by it. If you believe that Insanity is so superficial in nature, that simply looking like them would protect you.. then you can cover yourself in flour. I, however, look enough like them already. I'll risk it.
She gave the sleepy demon a curious glance, recalling who he was simply through Malodore's memories, before brushing it off. It's a long shot, but perhaps if we find one of the creatures and simply asked them to show us home, they would lead us there. That would put us on the hunt, instead of being hunted.
Her expression indicated that she liked that idea very much.
One of the students would be pointless. We need one that has changed naturally.. like I did.
The thought had crossed her mind to simply give in to the call herself, but.. she kept that thought to herself.
