"The dark crystals were once much like your own crystal. They belonged to four Heroes of Light."

The little girl looked at the four past Heroes of Light standing in the garden before looking back at Rikku.

"They turned their crystals into a mean to communicate with an entity that cannot be spoken with. But your minds couldn't possibly wisthand it. All those who made direct contact with it changed. Overtaken by indescribable fear, possessed and driven to madness." She paused. "This is why we took this form and that of nine others to communicate with you."

She extended a hand toward Rikku, as if to help her get back up.
