History and Myth: Death of the Goddess

The goddess is dead. Noel plunged his sword into the Heart of Chaos, and Etro's very presence faded away like mist.

Freed from the deity's constraints, the chaos of the Unseen Realm then rose up in a great wave and smashed apart Etro's Gate with contemptuous ease. The swirling maelstrom roiled forth with a strength beyond imagination. All of existence was engulfed in darkness, and the world that remained was bereft of life and death, past and future.

At the height of her battle with Caius, Lightning realized this fate was unavoidable. The weary warrior entered into crystal slumber with but one wish in her heart.



quote:

History and Myth: An Immortal Wish

To destroy the divine heart within his breast, and unleash the maelstrom of chaos—this was Caius's only wish. And so he waited.

He needed one who could surpass him in battle and had the potential to still the Heart of Chaos. When Noel was born, the Guardian's prayers were answered. If Caius failed to open Etro's Gate, he would force Noel to slay the goddess. With the timeline still bent and distorted, the chaotic energy freed by that act would rise of its own accord and shatter the gate. It was his only hope.

Paradox Scope

The 'Paradox Scope' is a lens that shows the possibilities of different timelines. The bearer gains the ability to sense the crossroads of history.

The scope bends the rules of the universe and makes the impossible possible. As a result, you may find yourself able to do things such as defeat unbeatable foes, and experience a future that should have never come to pass.
