Mr. Wedge,

That's very sweet of you. I think we both need all the help we can get, so I'm glad we're working together. I'll write down what I can remember.

We woke up in a ruined city. Aqures Tosf? I hope that's the right spelling. Kalki was there to welcome us, and told us we were brought here to watch over the crystallized heroes being kept there. I didn't recognize any of them, but some of them were distinctive enough to stick out, and I could swear the non-crystal versions of some of them are here in Aqures Ixen. Anyway, she said our white crystals make us useless to Garland's plans and Paltitutu's, and that they'd let us move over the crystallized lands too. But Palitutu showed up anyway to attack us a month later, along with a Moogle holding a black crystal. Kalki opened up a portal. Not all of us made it through.

We found ourselves in a room with a big colorless crystal inside some kind of research facility that was apparently crystallized? There were a lot of crystallized monsters and people inside, and a few not-so-crystal that attacked us. At some point, a lot of people said they'd lived the same day over and over. I wasn't one of them, so I don't know much about it, but it was weird enough that I thought I should make mention of it just in case.

Eventually we found an entrance to some crystal caves that led to the Tree of Life. We packed some food and left, since supplies couldn't last forever, and we'd heard no word from Kalki. It was a dangerous journey, we faced off against a lot of ghosts, and only a few of us could actually fight them off. But eventually we did find an exit, which led to Downapolis. We thought we were safe there, but I think you know how that turned out.

After we were there for a few weeks, the cultists attacked us in the middle of the night, summoning monsters right in front of us. There were too many, and we were forced to evacuate through the caves again. The doors to the city were closed due to some sort of investigation. They wouldn't tell us what it was about.

It took weeks. We had to fight horrible monsters along the way, something someone called 'Calamity Spawn.' Our numbers continued to dwindle, and if not for some people getting a Santa Claus job, we probably wouldn't have had enough food and water to make it all the way. We found a village in a crystal forest inhabited by people called Shumis and Primal Moogles. They told us that some of the other Heroes had recently been here, and directed us toward Mysidia. We traveled across the Calm Plains, and finally arrived.

The rest you know, I guess. There were so many of us to start with, and now there are so few. I hope that my account helps. If there's anything else I can do, please ask at any time.

Sincerely,
Keiko
