'''Invisible Ties''' is the premonition chapter in {{FE13}}. This chapter introduces two of the game's main characters as they take on a sorcerer. Basic mechanics are introduced in this chapter.

''(Cutscene: "Fated Clash")'' From a first-person viewpoint, [[Robin|someone]] sees a [[Chrom|nobleman]] charging toward a [[Validar|sorcerer]], the pair engaged in battle. Neither appear to have the upper hand. As the nobleman and the sorcerer duel, the person whose eyes we're looking through charges yellow magic in their left hand. Leaving the first-person viewpoint, we then see the sorcerer jump out of the way, then lands a blow on the nobleman upon coming back down. The sorcerer then starts to charge his own magic and aims it at the nobleman. As the sorcerer's magic flies toward the nobleman, the person whose eyes were previously being seen through launches their own magic at the sorcerer's magic, nullifying the blow.

 

Once the cutscene ends, the nobleman (whose name is revealed to be Chrom) and the yellow mage (whose name is revealed to be the one inputted by the player for their Avatar) are preparing for what appears to be a final battle. Chrom tells Robin that he/she is one of "them", something no destiny can change, before vowing to kill the sorcerer and be done with it.

 

At this point, Chrom tells Robin that they should move closer to the sorcerer. The player gains control at this phase, and at this point can reveal the sorcerer's name to be Validar. Chrom and Robin eventually move close enough to Validar to engage in another battle. Once in battle, Validar claims that Chrom and Robin cannot unwrite what has already been written. Chrom and Robin eventually defeat Validar.

 

''(Cutscene: "Fated Clash II")'' As another cutscene begins, we watch as Validar collapses in a dark aura. Afterwards, the viewpoint returns to first-person view, Robin and Chrom look at each other, before Validar swears that things aren't over. Validar takes one last magical shot at Chrom, the hit of which Robin takes. As Chrom congratulates Robin on a job well done, Robin suddenly starts seeing red flashes and having erratic movements. Within this daze, Robin attacks Chrom, dealing what appears to be a fatal blow. Robin comes back to his/her senses, surprised to see thunder coursing through his/her hand. Chrom states that his wound is not Robin's fault, and asks Robin to promise him that he/she will escape the area. Chrom asks Robin to leave before he collapses. Validar's evil laugh is heard as the chapter fades out.

The chapter's map is 25 columns by 25 rows; a barrier, however, prevents the use of any area of the map below row 9 regardless of column (this includes two special tiles on row 17 as detailed below). It is unknown why this map is far larger than necessary.

The player will have access to two units in this chapter, [[Chrom]] and [[Robin]]. Both have setups used only in this chapter; they do not take on their default setups until the [[The Verge of History|next chapter]]. The weapons used in this chapter are not retained afterward.

Robin and Chrom should pair up, with Robin being the support unit. Then, Chrom should attack Validar with the silver sword, which will ORKO Validar.

* This chapter is the fourth initial chapter of a story in the {{FES}} whose boss is of an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced class]].
