I don't have too much evidence to go on, but I do have one small idea. What if the player character's quest is to dispose of the Lords of Cinder so they cannot link the fire? It's as if Lothric or whatever the kingdom will be called, is sick and tired of the endless cycle of death and hollowing continuing, so they wish for someone to end the cycle completely and not link the fire so that the Age of Dark can take over, and nobody will be around to feel the pain of death and hollowing. "Even now, only embers remain.." That quote makes me think that maybe even if your character decides to link the fire instead of ushering the Age of Dark in, then maybe the Age of Dark will happen soon anyway, since only embers of the flame remain. *shrug* I dunno, this is just what I think for now.
