Intermission: Fate or Bonds

Fate or Bonds is the first chapter encountered in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is designated as an Intermission chapter, the first of its kind in the series. As its designation suggests, this chapter takes place outside the natural progression of the story, at a time unknown to the player.

The Intermission map

Krom and My Unit are the only playable characters on the map, starting off as a Level 20 Lord and Strategist respectively. The only enemy unit on the map is Fauder, a Level 5 Sorcerer, and the chapter ends after Fauder is defeated.

Upon completion of the chapter, no data from this chapter is carried over and the player properly begins the game in Prologue: New History.
