(( Yay unnecessary vagueness in Alihi's section~ ))
Alihi nodded to Renault. "I won't." After he was gone, she stood up, brushing off her legs. She sighed, unraveling the bandages from her left hand, revealing skin that was perfectly fine and unmarked. Just as she thought, Renault's healing magic cured that as well.
"..." Her grip tightened around the long piece of cloth. She stood there, standing as still as a statue for a few moments. Then, she slowly headed back up the stairs. The tactician wasn't sure what she was going to do about anything, but that would be dealt with later. For now, she wanted to relax, even if it was just for a few minutes. She plopped down in the first chair that she saw and sighed heavily, closing her eyes. ... That was a little too close.
---
The walls came up, isolating Amelia and Rei from the rest of them. Nils stopped for a moment, just staring at the walls that his friend created with both horror and amazement. Then, he willed his feet to move again, regaining the pace that he had before. After a few moments, he spoke. "I... I don't think I can do much, Milord... I mean, to help Amelia or Rei out. I'm--" He stopped again, realization hitting him hard in the face. Oh, duh! The bard reached into his pocket...
... Only to pull out a small piece of lint. "... Uhm." He checked his other pocket quickly, only to pull out some more lint and a paperclip. "Uhm." He checked on his belt, around his neck, and even around his fingers. "... Hm. Seems like I left my rings back at FEFGA's." He sighed lightly. "... I'm going to run back and try to get them in time, okay? If I can get a song to Amelia, it could really help her out." He gave Rhys a small smile. "It's the least-- no, it's the only thing I can really do."
Without waiting for a reply, he was off again, running back to the manor with a goal in mind.

[Why must I miss everything? XP]
There were faces. Faces, faces--so many faces, but she couldn't see any of them, obscured by darkness. Voices whispered, calling out, but she couldn't hear them, the word muffled by the same darkness. She was surrounded; she was alone.
Alone.
Ninian woke up with a gasp, forcing herself not to scream. It was still light out, and yet she'd had such a terrible dream. She fingered the ring around her finger, willing herself to remain calm, trying to ignore the headache.
Headache. . . .
She quickly noticed that no one was there, but shouting was coming from outside. Looking through the window, she saw Rei and Amelia, surrounded by a barrier.
They were fighting.
Oh, no, she thought. In her shock, she stood frozen, watching helplessly as the battle unfolded.

The nomad watched in absolute horror as she saw the walls go up, separating Amelia and Rei to duel each other to the death. The nomad picked up her bow, frantically shooting at the walls to try and get them to come down. Before, she had hesitated... she thought the presence of the other host club members, especially Rhys would silence Rei's madness.
But it didn't.
Sue kept firing silver arrows until she was out of ammo, than she threw the bow down to the ground, dismounting, hopeless. There was no breaking those walls. Amelia was on her own, and probably the first to fall. The nomad started to plunge into the roots of insanity. "One by one... we'll fall... one...by...one..." she shook.
{What we really need is Zelos!Rei to take over Possessed!Rei. XDD}

Renault stood in an upstairs window, clutching a staff in his hand. He couldn't attack Rei; though he had the right angle, he was too far away for light magic to be effective. It would dissipate before it reached the druid. If he had to, though, he'd heal Amelia. This Physic staff would reach far enough to do that. But. . . this was her fight right now, not his. He'd allow her to go as far as she could, and if she seemed to be in danger, then he'd heal her. After all, he couldn't let his daughter die, now could he? But he had faith in her. She could handle this herself.
Another look revealed a few people standing around the tentacles; the one Renault's eyes lit on was Rhys. "Hey!" he shouted into the other thread towards the other bishop. "Rhys! It's light magic, find something to concentrate it with!" If only someone around had a magnifying glass. Or maybe a curved mirror.

Nils ran inside FEFGA's, his mind and heart racing. He didn't pause for a moment, the thoughts running through his mind urging him to move faster.
The bard made his way into the room he pretty much claimed as his own, opening drawers and tossing around clothes in hopes to find at least one of his rings. Any one of them at this point could help Amelia survive and even beat Rei, so it was essential to him that one of them was found.
"Where are they...?" He muttered under his breath.

Asami looked a Nils walk in from the shadows.
"So these rings are important to this person." She told herself. She was looking at a ring that she was able to drag to the shadow of the bed but not pull into for some reason. her right hand came out of the shadows once Nils was close enough to the bed. She grabbed his leg and pulled him in before he could say a thing.

Sue's eyes travelled around, as the nomad was still shaking. She could somehow feel it, another disappearance, another dark awakening. Fear was all that mastered her. She was supposed to be calm, collected... but she was none of those things. She wasn't her father.

Victoria all the while was staring at the wall, wanting to break it. She didn't like what was happening, not in the least. Her gaze returned to the group, before placing a hand on the nomad's shoulders. "Get a hold of yourself. We all have to find a way to save them, don't we? My staff may not have helped that Druid... but.. I will help him and the others who have vanished." The bishop still looked at the wall, now beside Rhys. How to break it? If she found out, she could save them both, surely.

He remembered clutching his head, kneeling in that... who-knows-where. All he knew was that it was dark and that it made him feel really, really nervous. He hoped he never had to go back to that place ever again.
He remembered the pain of his arm, the throbbing of the cut he got more than what it should have been. It felt like his whole arm was torn open, when the cut couldn't have been more than four inches across and no wider than a line created from a sharpened pencil. Somehow, he knew that healing items wouldn't help it. He couldn't explain it if he tried; it was just a gut feeling.
And he remembered his assailant, though he failed to learn anything about her. What was her name? Her motive? He didn't have a clue. But she was nice enough to send him back (a bit harshly) to where he belonged, right? ... Well, sort of. Nils did ended up back in his room. And he was fine! ... After slamming into the side of the bed with his back and then having gravity take over and force him to hit the ground just as harshly with his head (which was still having that painful splitting-open feeling).
... Maybe "fine" wasn't the correct term.
"Ow..."

Renault spent another few moments staring out the window, then suddenly another influx of dark energy flowed into his consciousness from another source in the house. Damn it. . . he was the only bishop here, too, the others were on the front lawn. Being a healer and a light user was such a pain sometimes. But with a final glance, Renault turned and rushed back into the house. He was needed elsewhere, and Rhys could handle Amelia if she needed it.
The bishop paused in the hall, getting his bearings, then turned and strode down to one end, stopping in front of a closed door. This was where the dark energy seeped out. He paused, then kicked the door open, light tome held in one hand. But his expression turned to one of concern as he saw the young boy lying on the floor. "Nils!" Renault rushed in, putting away his tome, then lifted the bard gently, bringing him up to the bed. ". . . So you were attacked too?" he murmured. "Then I'd better not try to heal you. . . the results last time didn't go well. But here." He rummaged through his satchel for a moment, then pulled out a blue glass bottle. "Take a sip of this. But only a small one; if it doesn't work, I don't want you damaged more."

Aran's head was still throbbing, but it would be fine for now. Now, he had to go and see what was happening so far Has Rei come back to his senses? Did he defeat the others and start to terrorize the town? All sorts of questions ran through his head as he grabbed an Iron Lance and headed out to where everyone else was.

Nils groaned, his body not appreciating the movement. He swayed slightly, his hand resting against his forehead. "Ngh... F-Father?" The pain didn't seem to fade, even for a moment. He could barely focus on anything, but he tried to listen to what the bishop was saying. His grip loosened on his flute, and it landed on the mattress, rolling towards him and resting against his hip. "...'Attacked too'? W-what do you mean...?" The bard looked at Renault curiously and then winced, a jolt of pain running through his head. "Agh..."
He carefully took the bottle from Renault but couldn't bring himself to drink the contents. He just... he just felt like he couldn't. The hand with the bottle lowered to his lap and trembled slightly. "It... it hurts..." He said weakly.
"There's... It feels like..." He couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence. His whole body screamed for him to lie down and relax.
Nils felt like he couldn't.

"It's the same. . . that happened to Rei," the bishop said quietly, almost under his breath but loud enough for the bard to heal as well. This wasn't good; the same aura, the same symptoms. . . hopefully the same result wouldn't occur as well. Renault reached out and took Nils' hand gently, holding it. "It'll be all right. I'm here," he told the other. He'd stay here and watch the bard for as long as it took. He couldn't let the same thing happen; but he didn't see any way that he could help it, either. A staff would make it worse. Light magic would probably cause an adverse reaction, and make the dark magic act up. There didn't seem to be any way out of this problem than to let it run it's course. . . damn.

Nils' eyes widened. "This... happened to Rei, too?" His eyes closed gently, trying to relax. He wanted to recover. He wanted to stop hurting so badly.
... He wanted to stop trying to calculate Renault's power. That doesn't matter right now!! He told himself angrily, his head continuing to throb irritatingly. He felt his annoyance at everything growing: at himself for not being prepared enough to prevent this happening to him, at Renault for not being able to do anything to help him, and most of all at that woman for getting him into this. Why him? There were better choices of people. He was... he was... he couldn't finish his thought.
The bard flinched slightly and his eyes snapped back open, suddenly feeling a jolt.
But it was only Renault, trying to comfort him through words. He only nodded slightly.
... ... ... Weak.
He let out a pained scream.

Luna heard scream of pain come from FEFGA's. She goes inside to find the source of the scream, completely ignoring the fight between Rei and Amelia ( After all there wasn't anything that she could do about it). She finds Nils in pain and Renault comfort him.
"Oh no, Nils." She rush to them both to check on him.
