Fragment / Fate ' s Recollection You ' re not going to believe this . More and more people in New Bodhum have been learning spells after moving here from Cocoon ! Heart Prism . It makes sense that Serah has magic powers , ' cause she spent time dreaming in crystal , but when kids start screaming ' Fire ! ' and conjuring flames out of thin air , you have to start wondering . We asked Serah how she does her magic tricks , and she said something about ' channeling the crystal power within ' — whatever that means . Well , maybe some mysteries are not meant to be understood . . . Serah has left on a journey , too , so things are going to get busy around here . She was the only one who knew how to cook all the NORA House dishes ; with her gone , it ' s just me holding down the fort . Vita Lyrica . Serah used to get good grades back in school . History was her favorite subject . She was teaching the kids the odd class here and there , but Snow and her were talking about building a proper school right here in New Bodhum . When they get back , we ' re all going to pitch in and make it happen . The last time Serah saw Lightning was right before she was turned into crystal . She told Lightning about her plans to marry Snow , but when Lightning refused to bless their marriage , she took off running . That ' s no way to say good - bye . Those two still have unfinished business . Anima Miseria . Here in New Bodhum , Serah spent a lot of time looking up at the night sky , talking to Lightning . She ' s never been able to let go . Back in Bodhum , on Cocoon , there was this weird relic called a Vestige which had been lifted off Pulse back when Cocoon and Pulse were fighting . Unio Mystica . Turns out that it was an old Pulse temple , and there was a fal ' Cie inside that turned Serah into a l ' Cie . It seems crazy to think now that no one thought to check inside before they set it up next to our hometown ! When Serah got turned into a l ' Cie inside the Vestige , the Cocoon fal ' Cie used the incident for their own purposes . Serah ' s not a l ' Cie anymore , and the brand is gone from her arm , but she ' s still able to use magic . I wonder if the power just stayed inside her after she was cured . Or is it new , from somewhere else ? Everyone in NORA came from Bodhum originally , but there ' s not a soul living there anymore . When Cocoon fell and almost smashed into Pulse , the whole town was wiped out . Ars Symphonica . Funny thing is , no one was in the town thanks to the Purge that the Sanctum and PSICOM carried out . Does that mean the Purge was a good thing ? Well , I wouldn ' t say that . Bodhum used to be famous for its fireworks festival , and our cafe would be busy as anything the night of the show . I hope someday we can bring those good times back here in New Bodhum . This new column , penned by your favorite junk and gadgets dealer , introduces newbies to the ins and outs of machines of all kinds . Pathos Jewel . The crystal used inside the ancient Oracle Drive devices is a really amazing material . It resonates with the thoughts of nearby people and reconstructs them in its atomic structure ! Plus , if you inject energy into the crystal , you can freeze the structure into place . If you think about something really hard , and then run a current through the crystal lattice , you can trap the images that were inside your head . Scientists have even figured out how to date the recordings . Since I started dealing junk parts , I ' ve been building quite a collection of broken weapon components . I ' ve divided them into two main categories : military and ancient weapons . Misery ' s Bead . Military weapons includes things like bioweapons and mechs that were used by the old Cocoon military . A lot of the top - secret stuff features streamlined designs and AMP ( Antimatter Manipulation Principle ) technology . The ancient weapons are mostly hardware that extinct Gran Pulse civilizations left behind . These relics tend to be tough and heavy , like construction machinery , but some are really weird contraptions using far - out technologies . We ' d been having problems with our automated delivery system , and customers were complaining they didn ' t get their goods . For a virtual shop like us , this is a serious problem . Then again , I only started this as a hobby , so do I really care if we go under ? Amur ' s Sphere . Well , anyway , we patched the problem by borrowing space on the Moogleworks system , which is why some of you have been greeted by the squeaky ' Welcome , kupo ! ' . . . Say , wouldn ' t it be wild if that shop was run by a real live moogle ? The upgrades we do on wristwatches make them pretty much indestructible . It all started when Snow asked us to customize a watch for him , with a guarantee that it could survive absolutely anything he might throw at it . Innocence ' s Sacred Sphere . Not sure why he ' d want to " try " and wreck his own watch , but the customer knows best . Besides , the way Snow runs around like a behemoth with its head cut off , I figure he should worry more about himself than his watch . People complained about how the earlier models looked , so we ' ve brought my pal Yuj on board to spiff up the design . If anyone knows about matching outfits , it ' s Yuj . This is the prophecy as told by Clotho , messenger of the otherworld . Orb of Clotho . Great Fenrir is the fal ' Cie of the skies above . By the will of the mighty god Pulse , Fenrir ceaselessly wanders the heavenly vault , searching for the great door lost at the equinox of existence . This is the destiny of the fal ' Cie Fenrir . This is the prophecy told by Lachesis , messenger of the magic world . Sword of Lachesis . Ragnarok the beast shall bring down Cocoon . After the War of Transgression , two girls from the far north shall come to Cocoon , the nest of Lindzei , and transform into the beast that destroys it . Until the end of time , this day shall be known as the Day of Ragnarok . This is the prophecy told by Atropos , messenger of the heavens . Mirror of Atropos . The Thirteenth Ark is the fortress that protects the heavenly vault . When the heroes gather unto mighty Pulse to do battle in the war that must be fought , this shall be the stronghold . Know now and remember that the Ark shall be the salvation of all Pulse ' s children . What was the ultimate purpose of the Paddra Oracle Drives ? The dominant theory is that they were archiving device for preserving images of the future . These ' archives ' appear to consist of broken fragments of the seeresses ' prophecies . Giant Egg . To gain a clear picture of the timeline , it will be necessary to amass a large collection of these images and then piece them together . We have noted that the ancients stopped recording visions after a certain point in history . Did the process of recording to the Oracle Drive become an empty ritual ? Was some other means found to preserve the prophecies ? Or did the visions of the future grow so terrible that the Farseers thought it best they never be seen ? I still find it difficult to believe . Today , we uncovered a recording of Snow in the machine . There was nothing unusual about the image itself . We expected that Snow might be traveling the timeline . What shocked me was the brand . He bore the mark of a Gran Pulse l ' Cie . Extraordinary Egg . Since the catastrophe , the Pulse fal ' Cie have had nothing to do with human affairs . They have shown no interest in attacking Cocoon , and they have no reason to make anybody a l ' Cie . Which leaves only one possibility — Snow himself asked for the brand . What is happening to Snow , in that distant future ? What terrible need drove him to take the l ' Cie brand ? They say the future isn ' t certain . But neither is the past . Until someone checks , no one knows if a tossed coin comes up heads or tails . For a brief moment , both possibilities exist . The coin is heads - and - tails , potential realities overlapping . A paradox . Setzer ' s Dice . You ' ve seen the evidence all around you . Don ' t tell me you haven ' t . Treasure boxes that appear out of nowhere , landscapes that shouldn ' t be there , gates that shimmer and flicker . This is what happens when worlds collide . It ' s like I always say . . . There ' s more to this universe than meets the eye . The Void Beyond is a chasm between the seen and unseen worlds . It is a space of shadows that are cast long and dark from Valhalla itself . Many form closed , incomplete worlds that are known as temporal rifts . Cartesian Board . There are other kinds of places here , too , such as palaces and battle arenas molded from nothing more substantial than hopes , dreams , and passions . There is no death in the Void Beyond . Souls who long to die instead live within dreams that are spun from the fabric of their deepest desires . Once trapped within these dreams , they have no means of escape . Laplacian Board . Next time you look into a mirror , peer closely at the edge . Do you see the ghostly shimmering ? That is the world of dreams , known to some as the Mirror World . It is an eternal place of wishes fulfilled and happy memories made real — yet the ghosts who inhabit it know not they are prisoners of eternity .
