To: All Heroes of Light
Greetings.
It’s been a long time, but I have some things to share. We are investigating what’s happened with the other group of Heroes of Light last week. Unfortunately, we haven’t turned up anything. The healers are at a loss, as are our researchers. The only certainty is that all these heroes of light dying at the same time cannot be a coincidence. Someone or something must have been behind this. They had been just fine for months and died shortly after reaching Mysidia and Aqures Ixen. As it is, we cannot exclude the possibility there is an enemy in this city or Mysidia.
Also, the Moogles working at Palitutu’s Laboratory communicated us a report about the Crystal of Fire. According to them, its energy levels are far below what it was two years ago and they keep dropping, especially when more of you come in. They say at this rate, it’ll be at the same level of energy than the other Crystals in a year, maybe even less. Practically, it means there won’t be any more Heroes of Light coming to Crystallis once this happens. It might also affect your immortality and crystal stasis, but how we don’t know yet.
Jessie, I mean Palitutu, would probably have the answer to all these questions, but we haven’t heard anything from her since the imperial attack last year. The Crystal of Fire running out of energy at the same time the Calamity is expected to have completely crystallized the planet is certainly not a coincidence either. She must have planned for this. You have to prepare yourself not to play into her hand.
If you know anything, please tell us. I’ll inform you as soon as we get any concrete information.

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to help us. If anything, it is our duty to help you. With the Calamity spreading, it is the least we can do. I have heard some bits of your adventure, but if you would like to give us a detailed account, feel free to.
As for the cultist, we will be keeping an eye on them. So far, we've been trying to control incoming Airships to prevent them from reaching this continent. I have my doubts regarding their involvement in this. If they had been the one, they could have done it months ago. This is why I believe whoever did this to you must be from this Continent. This is not a pleasant thought, but we have already been betrayed once and this could happen again.

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

That is quite a tale. I do believe that the Heroes of Light you saw crystallized were indeed those who are in Aqures Ixen today. A letter from Kalki helped us find them in Aqures Tosf, at roughly the same time you left the island. However, I wouldn't trust everything she told you.
I will direct this summary to Cid and Biggs. They might be able to help more than I will. Again, I am sorry for what you went through and hope you'll find peace here, at least for a time.

She told you guys about the crystallized Heroes, but not about us? Nothing? I can see why you'd advise us not to trust her, that's for sure. We were in a tight spot and could have really used some help.
In any case, don't worry about us too much. We came this far, right? Everyone's been very kind and welcoming. Thanks for your help.
