AN: This website messed up the title, they left out the hyphen. It's called Caecus Tenus Verum-i, which is Latin for Blind to the Truth or dubbed BttT for short. This a FFXIII/FFXIII-2/FFLR/FFVX (formerly titled FFvsXIII back then) crossover involving the main characters that are involved in politics, war, and spiritual ideas of religion and in the midst of it, possible romance. It's a collaboration of equal effort between RevanBodyguard (me) and SolidChief, also known as A Soldier's Shadow on here (my boyfriend) and I hope that you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed writing it.

By the grace of Etro, let thunder herald your arrival.

- Odin's summoning

PROLOGUE

"Divine Etro, go peacefully to your rest. I will stand guard over your legacy... I am the epitaph for the consequences of my actions and the preserved memories of loved ones enduring in the passing of eons."

This is a fantasy based on reality.

"Years passed and carry on from the world I lived in since the day I chose to remain in Valhalla, and carry out the will of the goddess. Time's path is no longer certain. Etro... No, the goddess is dead, she was murdered in result of an hateful choice… I remain of what is left of her divine will and hand. How soon is it for when I will awaken from these dreams, these blurred visions? They have yet to cease even as I sleep. Her Knight stays diligent and devoted to Her valiant wisdom. I have neither doubts nor regrets of my choices, but I knew I failed Her as I've failed...

It is ironic being encrusted in indestructible crystal, it goes unstained by the chaos absorbed in this realm and the extinguished lives from the future I could not save.

Chaos spilled out to the world, a bleak and lifeless future, Valhalla appeared within Pulse, unscathed by the currents of time and scourge. Pulse died then became something else… it went nothing more than a miracle. Caius Ballad is still alive and has won just as She have foreseen. The future has once again been shifted to his doing. The world isn't as it appears, it's predisposed to a surreal reality of a fantasy."

A meeting predestined by the divine.

"In my crystal statis, I can envisage the one that I await for and that time is soon. Odin has been restless and kneels down for the day I awaken, as for now I am at my most vulnerable. Lucis Caelum... Are you prepared for what you have been destined for? Would my endless prayer go unheard?

Translated as 'Sky of the Night Light'... He was chosen by Her before he was born just as I was, but his fate isn't to become a Knight. I do not understand his importance, but his choices of one would influence of the lives of many which bounds back to the goddess. If so… Why can't I see your destiny from Etro's sacred temple?

Who are you?"

"…I was about to ask the same thing."

The figure that still lies asleep in the Fantasy.

"For now, I sleep, my dreams everlasting. It is here that I await the end of eternity… and the day I awaken once again."
