I'm willing to entertain the idea that we'll eventually be ending Hydaelyn, as well - but not because we're all primal-killing murder-hobo or whatever. It's entirely possible that once Zodiark is put down, Hydaelyn will no longer have a purpose for existing, and may even regard her own existence as being more harmful than good, just as Alexander did. She may request our assistance in self-termination.
