"...I suspect it might," Ashelia answers. "Back on Crystallis, the beginning of the end of the cycle was jump started due to a devastating explosion. The Fire Crystal was being studied, tampered with, amplified. 'Twas eventually revealed to have been purposefully done, if I remember correctly."

She clasps her hands behind her back and begins pacing again. "While the four elemental crystals don't seem to appear here on Vaikuntha, there's no saying a similar act could have taken place. And if that's so, then the summoning of Bahamut coinciding with the first larger wave of Heroes is no coincidence." Well, that they already know. "But, the story of the attack may hold the answer as to whom is responsible for the summoning, their motives or methods even. And this time, I'd prefer not to be made to travel through time to witness it myself."
