My opinion follows Spirited. I definitely don't think Glynda is a Maiden. Also, Oz and his munchkins have a duty to protect the maidens. We were told that they were to be found first,(akin to the white lotus and the Avatar). Being that Amber was attacked, we're focusing on the Maiden of Fall, but  I would presume that Oz's group knows who and where the other maidens are located currently.

Methinks Cinder will discover Amber is in the basement of Beacon, and attempt to finish the job. Now that she has access to Atlas' files, it should be far easier now. This whole situation just begs the question as to just how Cinder nearly beat a being of unimaginable power to the brink of death, while managing to steal a part of her power,(anyone getting Madoka Magica feels?).

I'm concerned for Pyrrha as well. Absorbing someone else's Aura--their soul-- may end up having tremendous adverse psychological effects. Similar to when Rogue held on to Ms. Marvel for too long, and pretty much recreated her psyche within her own mind. But the power boost would be greatly needed. I can see a battle between Pyrrha with the aura of the Fall maiden, and Cinder with all the power of the Fall Maiden. Unlikely, but still a possible avenue.

To answer someone's question, I don't think the Maidens are out of place. If anything, they make the world, and the story all the more interesting. Connections are beginning to be made. We've been begging for the transition episode, and here it is! I'm loving it. The feels man. THE FEELS.
