Scrolls are hidden.
Lightning. It flashes bright, then fades away. It can't protect. It only destroys. I thought that by changing my name, I could change who I was...I was wrong.
It only took the loss of my sister for me to realize that...
On my 21st birthday, Serah had become a l'Cie. She tried to tell me, but I wouldn't listen. Instead, I threatened her. I pushed her away. The person she needed most didn't believe her. But Snow did...I-I know now that I should have listened to her...
But it was too late, then. The Sanctum had already gotten to her. So I fought. As long as I was fighting, nothing else was real.
But that didn't solve anything. It made things worse. We became l'Cie, and Serah became a crystal.
We were the world's number one threat. We weren't human to them. We were targets...That's all we ever were to the Sanctum. Targets.
Being a l'Cie took away everything. My future. My dreams...I didn't want to think.
So I ran. I abandoned everyone and destroyed everything in my path to save Serah. But Hope followed me, and was swept along with my hate.
On our way to Palumpolum, I trained him. Because of me, he became fueled by his hatred for Snow and devised a plan to kill him.
It was only when we arrived at the city of commerce that it became to clear me.
Cocoon wasn't a world built for us. No; it was built for the fal'Cie. I was born into a fal'Cie world, raised on a fal'Cie leash. It was the only life I knew how to live. When it was taken from me, I was completely lost. Without a master to follow, my life had no purpose.
So I called off Operation NORA, but Hope didn't follow through.
That's when I met Fang, and when I learned how Serah became a l'Cie. Needless to say, I was angry, but there was nothing I could do but keep moving forward. She told us that we were living off borrowed time, and that if we didn't finish our focus before the eye in our marks completely opens...we would become Cie'th. That begged the question, "How could we finish a focus we didn't even know?"
Afterward, Fang and I met up with Hope and an unconscious and injured Snow, and trudged on to the Estheim estate. That's where Hope learned the truth about his mother's death, and he and his father forgave Snow. Our moment of peace didn't last long. We were ambushed by PSICOM and saved by the Cavalry. We learned that Sazh and Vanille were being held captive in another airship, and that's where our next destination was.
After saving the two, we were off to find Dysley, who we learned was actually a fal'Cie. A fal'Cie who wanted Cocoon destroyed! We escaped from Barthandelus and crashed into the Fifth Ark, where we fought Cid, who was a Cocoon l'Cie the entire time. He revealed to us that Cocoon fal'Cie wanted Cocoon destroyed to bring back the Maker, and in an attempt to defy his focus, he fought us and became crystal.
Thanks to his sacrifice, our hope was renewed and we decided to fight our focuses together. But Fang was the only one who didn't want that...Fang was willing to fight us if it meant completing our focuses. She refused to watch us turn Cie'th. But, I managed to convince her to fight with us, and she vowed to find another way to defy our focuses without us becoming Cie'th. Without any sacrifices.
A new path was born, and e then set our sights to Pulse, and from there, to Eden.
Pulse was...No, Gran Pulse was breathtaking. It was everything that the Sanctum didn't tell us about.
