Personnally, I got it from Kytraan's assumption that
they were all summoned by Zerika on p. 253:

"Well," said Kytraan, "this at least explains why you,
of all people, should be summoned by this mysterious
Phoenix."

"Yes, that is solved, but many other things are not."

"Zivra--or, as we should properly call her,
Zerika--said, "It is true. <snip>"

You'll notice that Zerika did not correct Kytraan's
assumption.
