I am thinking that the Hythlodaeus shade could recognize the warrior of light/Darkness even though it was only faintly because he was good friends with the WoL/WoD. He does say goodbye addressing you as his new, old friend. I think that Hythlodaeus was a mutual friend of Emet-Selch and the WoL/WoD. He had a stray thought in his creation magic remembering his old friend that had more of the real Hythlodaeus shine through than Emet-Selch ever intended.
Well yes its kinda a bit open to interpretation but maybe all were friends? The shade to him and us and maybe Emet to us too. Otherwise his reaction at seeing the 14th at the rejoining with Ardbert would be a bit strange. If we are not his friends why would he be so shocked? If he did not like the 14th wouldnt he be more hateful instead of trying to tell himself that it cant be that way?

@Kallera: Yes she was summoned as a enemy against Zodiark but first we dont even know if we ever truly kill Zodiark (because that would mean that he broke free which means that at least one whole shard was again lost and a huge calamity has taken place on the source..and seemingly it takes quite some time to prepare both shard and source for this). Maybe this story will end with us just taking out Elidibus. Without him another ascian cant be raised into the position thus the threat should be over. But Zodiark is still kept sleeping, Hydaelyn will keep him in check and the spoken races will finally be able to really live their lifes without Ascians planning horrible stuff all the time.
