Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero -Promise-

Dajh branded

Dajh is found inside the power plant.

Eight days before the events of Final Fantasy XIII, Sazh brought his son, Dajh, to visit Euride, after he expressed wishes of seeing a fal'Cie. Whilst Sazh went to a gift shop to buy a Chocobo Chick as a present for his son, an impatient Dajh ran into the plant alone.

Unbeknownst to everyone there, Fang and Vanille, two Pulse l'Cie, were also inside the plant, looking to confront the fal'Cie Kujata for answers regarding their new Focus. Kujata sensed the danger from the Pulse l'Cie, and instinctively chose the nearest human to defend it: Dajh.

An eruption soon followed, forcing PSICOM to intervene, and Sazh to run in looking for his son, as the two Pulsians escaped, separating them. Inside, Sazh found his son unconscious, branded a Sanctum l'Cie. Jihl Nabaat ordered the boy be taken by the Sanctum in order to investigate the Focus he was given by the Cocoon fal'Cie.
