FFXIII Alpha|Omega - Lightning and Hope

Well, that bit I put here is the prophecy around the plot of my sequel for LR: FFXIII, which is called Final Fantasy XIII α|Ω, I had to put it that way in the title because character limits. It takes place in this new world that resembles Earth -but it's not, as the Ultimania says- and because of this I had to change some stuff about what I had already planned. But it also gave me more room for some things.

Anyway. The prophecy is longer and speak of each pair of the former l'Cie. This is why I cut the rest of it and I put here only Lightning and Hope's part. I plan to do a drawing of the other couples -Snow & Serah, Fang & Vanille and Noel & Yeul, with Sazh, Dajh and Chocolina as "earthly" keepers- but of course the first one had to be about my dearest pairing!

Lightning's design is of course the one she had in the epilogue for LR: FFXIII. The Ultimania also basically said that Hope regained his adult body once he was reborn, so here he is. Even though it's not seen here, the scars of Bhunivelze's torture remained on his adult body, and he sports one over his left eye resembling Bhuni's facial marks. But I'll explain this better once I submit his design.

I'm not going to explain much about the story... I want you to read it, once I start. [C:]
