Fragment / Oracle of Etro The Heart of Chaos does not grant the Guardian power — it eats away at their physical self . Caius did not gain an immortal body , but was cursed with eternal life . Ultima Brand . Heed my words , Noel . You are the last protector , and the only one who can wrest the Heart ' s strength from Caius . In the instant you strike the life from his body , you shall either inherit the curse , or break its eternal grip . Only your will can slay fate one way or the other . The eidolith that summons Bahamut is set into the hilt of Caius ' s greatsword . Bahamut is an Eidolon of Valhalla — a gift from the goddess of chaos to her l ' Cie . Omega Brand . No one now living knows why Caius possesses the crystal eidolith of a l ' Cie . It was centuries , nay , more than a thousand years past that he became the Guardian , and his companions of that age have long since departed this mortal realm . A massive battle once raged on Gran Pulse . Paddra was besieged by a great army that sought the life of the seeress . In the face of this assault , Caius chose to perform an ' incarnate summoning . ' This ritual merged his essence with that of the Eidolon Bahamut , and drew forth all their latent power . Chaos Brand . An incarnate summoning expends the life force of the summoner , and thus Caius did perish . But he returned from death ' s domain , an immortal heart beating within his breast . That dark summons is now his to wield at will — as long as the Heart of Chaos pumps eternity through his veins . Valhalla is a world that is connected to every age , every timeline . When the seeress of the Farseer s gazes into the future , Valhalla is at the heart of the vision . Crimson Crystal . The seeress also has the power to send her inner voice through Valhalla and then to the time and place of her choosing . However , only those with great chaos in their hearts are able to hear the words of the seeress . In the heart of Valhalla stands Etro ' s temple . The throne that sits within , the throne of the goddess , is always empty . Azure Crystal . No one can say how long the goddess ' s temple has stood in this place . In a world where time does not exist , such a question has little meaning . Some speculate , however , that the goddess built the temple with her own hands , as a prison for some long - forgotten enemy . The seeress of the Farseers knows the exact moment she will die . However , she is forbidden to change the timeline in order to save herself . Forest Crystal . The seeress has no choice but to accept her preordained end . This is the law of the Farseers . Each change of the timeline creates new victims , spawns new tragedies , and not even the seeress can tell how great those losses shall be . Valhalla , where the temple of the goddess stands , floats on the vast ocean of chaos into which all things must flow . There is no beginning or end to chaos . Those that fall into its waters are condemned to float for eternity in the rift between life and death . Amber Crystal . The ocean of chaos has drowned the Pedestal of Time . There , on that holy of holies , did the goddess Etro first step into the Unseen Realm . But as her power waned , the sacred spot where her foot touched soil sank beneath the sullen waves . The seeress of the Farseers has left us many prophecies , but amongst them the most enigmatic must surely be this : ' When Valhalla consumes the sky , a new star flashes like lightning , and in the heavens twinkles distant hope . ' Violet Crystal . What does it mean when ' Valhalla consumes the sky ' ? What is the new star that flashes in the sky ? Does this prophecy foretell a future of salvation — or destruction ? No one can say . Etro granted the most selfless of gifts . Her power and strength flowed through the gate to the Unseen World , and with each passing second she grew weaker and weaker . Etro ' s Sorrow . Now the goddess sleeps within the Heart of Chaos . Should she cease to exist , then the power that she granted to humanity , the power that makes their universe whole , will disappear . When the sands of time run out on the goddess , so too do they on the world of man . When the people of Cocoon first came down to the surface of Gran Pulse , magic filled the earth . Among the people , there were those who awakened to this power . I saw it happen . I saw time distorted and twisted . Pulse ' s Resolution . When the timeline was changed and history broken , fissures appeared in the wall that separates the spirit and the material . The crystal power that was once bestowed only upon the l ' Cie was released , and it permeated deep into the soil . Now normal humans can spin enchantments and spells — if they know how . The part we humans call ' soul ' is a gift of the goddess . In all our hearts flickers a small piece of the chaos of Valhalla . Lindzei ' s Desire . From Valhalla , you can see every age , every timeline . I see the future because Valhalla lives in my heart . The Eyes of Etro is not a unique gift , reserved for the special . Every human who claims a soul can gaze into the future . Our bodies are made of the blood of the goddess . Our souls are formed of the chaos which she bestowed upon us . The Farseers were an ancient people who embraced the chaos more than any other . They were Pulse ' s oldest tribe , and I was their seeress . Mwynn ' s Tenderness . The power to see the future . The power to travel the timeline . The power to bend monsters to your will . The power to remember in your dreams , even when the timeline has changed . They are manifestations of hidden chaos , and in a chosen few , these powers are great indeed . Such are the blessings of the goddess . In the physical world , it contains within its form endless chaos . By the will of the deities , it gives birth to all living things . I speak of crystal . Bhunivelze ' s Sleep . The eternal dream world of the crystal lies within the Unseen World . Even the gods long to find their way to that place . In all crystal , the heart that shines most brightly is called Bhunivelze .
