One of the doubts I'm having about this "become the Warrior of Darkness" plotline is that quite honestly, I don't see how our actions have caused our dimension to come anywhere close to falling to a Flood of Light. So if there is a risk, it would be due to writer fiat.

And that worries me, because despite all the claims of "light is not always good, dark is not always bad", all we have to do is look at what the Ascians are doing, compared to what we do. If "balance" requires us to commit a few genocides and atrocities to bring about more darkness and chaos, the way the Ascians have been doing every single time, I have a hard time seeing how "dark is not always bad".

Even when "our side" does morally bad things, we as the WoL clearly still think it's bad and wrong, so having to abandon that in order to side with the Ascian Way is going to be a huge personality change.

I would also like to note that Hydaelyn herself also thinks that the Flood of Light is a bad thing that should be stopped, hence sending Minfilia over with the 3.x Warriors of Darkness. She clearly cares for us in a way the Ascians do not; the only way I could see us turn against her is due to some tragic difference of opinion where we merely disagree with the methods of caring, even if we agree on the end goal. This is in contrast to the Ascians, who, as I've mentioned before, almost always treat people as things. (I think the only exception so far is Unukalhai.)
Who said anything about siding with the Ascians?
