Liam O'Brien: Caius Ballad

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Hope Estheim : [observing Noel with Serah's dead body]  Noel? But why...? You were safe, everything was fine.

  Noel Kreiss : The future changed. It changed. If you change the future, you change the past. The effects ripple outwards, up and down the timeline. The seeress is forced to see it all.

  Hope Estheim : You mean Serah... she saw this vision?

  Noel Kreiss : Yes. And it killed her. Serah. She knew the risk. If we altered the future, she knew what would happen; that her life could be in danger. But she still chose to save it. I wanted to protect her... I thought I had. I thought she was safe.

  Mog : [collapses as the sky goes dark]  Kupo? Kupo? Kupo! The goddess... She has gone, kupo.

  Caius Ballad : [voiceover]  The Heart of Chaos beats in my chest, a manifestation of Etro. Should this heart stop beating, the goddess will die once again.

  Noel Kreiss : [staring at his hands in shock]  I killed the goddess?

  Caius Ballad : [voiceover, as a distant bell tolls and darkness overtakes the world]  When the goddess dies, the chaos of Valhalla is unleashed. The chaos has the power to warp the timeline and destroy the past.

  [Bands of chaotic energy overwhelm the world. In Valhalla, Lightning is shown sitting in crystal on the throne of the goddess Etro. A caption appears: "To Be Continued..."] 

• Caius Ballad : If you change the future, you change the past.

  Mog : Kupo?

  Serah Farron : It keeps changing?

  Caius Ballad : Change is the constant.

• [repeated line] 

  Caius Ballad : Two hundred years ago, you learned the forbidden history, and were entombed in that tower as a consequence. But now you stand before me, alive and well once again. What can that be, if not a paradox?

• Caius Ballad : [secret ending - "The Goddess is Dead"]  They have seen all of history, all of its possibilities. They have seen all the endings. But they must know, the goddess Etro is already dead. Her end is final. No man, woman, or god can bring her back now. Ignorant and blind to their true mission, they did exactly what I wanted.

• Caius Ballad : [having trouble in his battle with Lightning]  The goddess made a wise choice. Powers of chaos, bend to my will!

• Caius Ballad : [attacking]  Wings of darkest night!
