Knowledge previously unknown to Lightning gives her the ability to defeat Caius in Valhalla, but she must become his immortal companion to stop him for good and he must go with her to New Bodhum. The future is now fraught with unknowns, with a new government and rising tensions between Cocoon and Pulse - made no easier by Caius and Lightning now sharing the Heart of Chaos.

When the anger turns into passion, there is little else they can do to remedy it. Rated M for a reason. Caius/Lightning gift-fic.

Serah and Yeul are dead because of Etro, who isn't the good goddess she appeared to be. Swearing revenge, Caius and Lightning are forced to fight together to destroy her. Something stronger than a simple alliance forms. Lightning/Caius
