In the original text, it is stated that Fire came to the world "for the first time"; there is no preceding cycles as some people would have you believe. Also, the Lord Souls are only inferred to be from the First Flame as nothing says it explicitly. Indeed, the Japanese text only mentions the beings (Hollows) who came from the Dark as being "captivated by fire, and found the souls of kings".

Furthermore, when Dark Souls was originally released in Japan there was an addendum which stated that the Lord Souls were found near the First Flame, not in it.
