Fragment / An Affectionate Message There is no time in Valhalla . Events happen in chaotic order . Noel Kreiss , I already sent you to Serah ' s side . And yet , here I am in a place where we have yet to meet . You get used to it , I guess . Words of Light . My battles with Caius rage on , our conflict eternal . But should I lose even once , and existence be destroyed , an empty void is all that would remain . I cannot lose the war for Valhalla . I ' m sorry , Serah . This nightmare realm is where I need you to be . . . Hey there , Serah , I ' ve got some ' intel ' for you . Well , it ' s something I heard from Lightning in a dream . Father ' s Song . The guy you ' re fighting , he ' s got some serious backup . How ' d it go ? ' Winged and fanged , born from chaos . A cursed beast of blackest night . ' I ' d tell you more , but her voice got cut off all of a sudden . Me ? Right now I ' m in some weird kinda palace . I get this feeling I ' m gonna run into someone I know , but I never seem to find ' em . But don ' t you go worrying about ol ' Sazh . You just watch your back ! I ' ve wanted to apologize to you for so long , Serah . I ' m the reason you were turned into a l ' Cie . It ' s my fault you had to suffer . I couldn ' t say it before , so I ' m saying it now . I ' m sorry . I ' m so very sorry . Vanille ' s Fruit . Did you know that you were the first miracle in all of this ? You defied your l ' Cie fate and turned to crystal of your own will . It was your miracle that showed Fang and me that we had the power to save Cocoon . So don ' t ever stop believing in yourself . You can make another miracle and protect Cocoon . I know you can do it . I meant to apologize when we met , but I never did . So , Serah , this is my chance . Everything was my fault . You were made into a l ' Cie because I messed up . Sure , I helped you out a little , but that doesn ' t make things right . Vanille and I , we ' ll repay our debts by keeping Cocoon in the sky . Fang ' s Crown . It ' s not so bad . I have Vanille here with me , after all . Don ' t you worry about us , you just get yourself to Lightning . That Caius guy she ' s fighting ? We ' ve heard his name before . He ' s bad news — a real monster . So hurry along , and help your sister out . You ' re the one she needs to see more than anyone in this world ! Serah , can you hear me , out there in the future ? I ' m sending you an access code for a supply sphere . Hope ' s Message . I trust this may help you in the fateful battle to come . Hey , Noel . You ' re not going to believe this , but this message is a message from you . I ' m just a little further ahead in the timeline than where you are now . Noel ' s Message . I ' ve got a warning for you , my past self . Things are going to get a lot harder from here on out . But just remember to hang in there , no matter what . You just might surprise yourself ; you ' re a lot tougher than you think . I don ' t know where I am . I can ' t hear anything . I can ' t see anything . It ' s cold , and dark , and I ' m all alone . This place is . . . dead . Serah ' s Message . But I don ' t have any regrets . I fought to the end . I never ran away . I just hope someone will remember me , now that I ' m gone . Daddy went away for a while . He said he was going to help Serah and her friends . Let ' s do it Daddy ! I want to help , too ! Chocochick Down . Hey , remember my daddy ' s chocobo chick ? Well , its a girl . So I ' ve decided to call her Chocolina . Cool , huh ? You wanna know what I think ? This place I ' ve ended up at , it ' s like a paradise for dead folk . See , some people die before they have a proper chance to live , but here they can enjoy themselves and forget about their regrets . Lucky Coin . Maybe in the beginning it was just a fairy tale , but some kind of cosmic switcheroo made it as real as day . Thing is , I ' m not suppose to be here . I guess when Dajh and me got caught up in that mess a few years back , the powers - that - be thought I got killed or somethin ' . But I didn ' t . I ' m as alive as can be . So I ' m leavin ' and headin ' back home to Dajh - just as soon as I hit one more jackpot ! The casino owner told me somethin ' interesting the other day . He said there ' s a Coliseum out in the Void Beyond . Supposedly , dead heroes from all over — or at least , copies of them — gather there to duke it out for honor and glory . Of course , I ' m no hero , so it ' s got nothing to do with me . Priceless Gift . Makes me wonder , though . This palace is for dead people , and that Coliseum , too . Do you have to be dead to get into the Void Beyond ? I sure hope not , cause I ' m not done livin ' ! In the future , Fang and I are called the ' daughters of the goddess , ' right ? It ' s kind of embarrassing , to be honest . Lapis Lazuli . When they say goddess , I guess they mean Etro . I remember her . When Fang and I first tried to hold up Cocoon , we felt this . . . kindly strength , surrounding us . It was the same feeling as back when I first turned to crystal . I bet Fang doesn ' t remember it as well as me , but I think maybe it was the goddess we felt . Although the priests back home always made her out to be much scarier than that . So maybe I ' m wrong ? While we ' re here , sleeping inside the pillar that holds up Cocoon , Lightning is fighting to protect Etro . I wonder why . Etro is a cruel goddess . She sends Eidolons to persecute dying l ' Cie and slaughters her ' children ' as carelessly as we swat flies . Heliodor Ore . I don ' t really know what Lightning ' s game is , but I can tell you this . She ' s in a really bad place . Once she set foot in there , she had no way to get out . It ' s hard for her to be heard while she ' s in there , too . So , Serah , you ' ve got to help . Listen to your heart — you might hear Lightning if you do . Hope visited again . We always know when he does . He comes to check on the pillar . Fang and I are lost in our dreams , but even so , we know when our friends are close . We can feel them in our hearts . Carnelian . We ' re fine here , inside the crystal . But I worry about the future . I . . . I caused so much trouble for the people of Cocoon . And for Serah , and her sister , and their friends and family . Hope , we ' re counting on you to save the future and stop the tragedy from happening all over again ! That idiot Snow is hell - bent on going to the Coliseum . There ' s nothing there , except dead fools fighting for a glory that no one will ever know . Is he really that obsessed with becoming strong ? The worst part is , he ' s doing it for our sake . Celestine . I really wish we could tell him to forget about us and help Serah and Lightning . It was our fault they got caught up in this mess in the first place . If things keep going the way they are , maybe our nightmares ' ll come true , and those two girls won ' t ever see each other again . Serah , can you hear me ? Fang and I just had the most wonderful dream . We were in a place I didn ' t know , with a young man and woman who I ' ve never met . They were laughing together , enjoying the moment . They were so happy . Cosmo Aura . When I think that we ' re helping to build a future for people like that , the weight of Cocoon doesn ' t seem that heavy at all . Fang and I are here inside the crystal , but even so , we can feel you in our hearts . So , Serah , don ' t give up , okay ? You can make a future where everyone can be happy again . I know you can .
