Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

[Kallera]

Sounds like both see the other as the parasite that is burning out existence.while hydelyn didn't use the exact words, it seems a similar reasoning for the banishment of Zodiark.

One fear is that the continuing cycle will cause Zodiark's revival and an end to existence as we know it. Could the other be that stopping the cyclical nature of destiny is what causes the end of existence? That without Zodiark's supposed revival there is no one to take the seat of "the mothercrystal" after Hydelyn fades totally?

Well she 'banished' Zodiark because he became corrupted after thirsting for more power (they coexisted, so maybe they fed each other their Aether and then one day Zodiark suddenly got a little greedy). I wonder if Hydaelyn can continue to exist without Zodiark...

Are they being used for that purpose? Yes. But I think saying that they actually exist for that purpose is probably a bit much, especially since we know that they were once Warriors of Light.

They probably/most likely know what would happen if we continued down the path of ridding the world of Ascians. They defeated Ravana, so their goal doesn't involve the death of Hydaelyn.
