A Hard Miracle

Location Mountain Village New units Emmeryn Boss(es) Ardri

“	Ch...Chro...	”	— Emmeryn, trying to say her brother's name

A Hard Miracle is the twentieth paralogue chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. As a paralogue chapter, its events are not integral to the game's main storyline and can be done at the player's leisure. It is one of a group often called the "SpotPass paralogues", as the chapter is unlocked via a SpotPass interaction and also requires beating chapter 25 in order to play. This chapter is unlockable via SpotPass starting May 31, 2012 in the Japanese version, March 14, 2013 in the North American version, and May 29-30, 2013 in the PAL version.

In this chapter, the Shepherds investigate the goings-on on an island where the Grimleal are killing girls via sacrificial rites and are tasked with protecting a girl the Grimleal have their eyes on--who turns out to be Emmeryn, the amnesiac former exalt of Ylisse.

Plot

Main article: A Hard Miracle/Script

The Shepherds arrive at a village, responding to rumors that the Grimleal have been stealing girls for their sacrificial rites; A village elder tells the Shepherds that one of the girls escaped and knows the Grimleal's location, and brings them to her. When the Shepherds arrive, they are shocked to find Emmeryn, who does not seem to recognize them; the elder explains that Emmeryn arrived to their village like that, distant and barely able to speak. Another villager arrives and informs them that the Grimleal are approaching, and the Shepherds prepare for battle.

As the battle begins, the elder explains to Chrom that he cannot find Emmeryn, and Chrom notes that she has likely not gone far. In battle, Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick can talk to Emmeryn; the try to get her to remember them and try to explain themselves to her, but none are successful.

After the battle, if Emmeryn survived, Chrom tells Robin that, though it would remind her of significant hardship and pain, he wants Emmeryn to return to the way he remembered, and feels selfish that he cannot accept her mere survival. Emmeryn manages to say "Don't...c-cry..." to Chrom, which Lissa recognizes as something she often told them as children, and prompts Chrom to resolve to protect her as she did him. If Emmeryn did not survive the battle, Chrom laments his failure and rejects Robin's attempt to comfort him.

Website summary

The Grimleal have kidnapped villagers to offer up as sacrifices to Grima, the Fell Dragon. En route to battle them, Chrom and his allies are reunited with Chrom's sister, Emmeryn, whom Chrom had thought dead. However, she is no longer the sister Chrom remembers...

Note: The returning characters list only those recruited by the time this chapter is unlocked. As a paralogue chapter, there is no set timeframe in which the chapter must be taken on; thus, it is possible to have recruited more characters than the above by the point the chapter is started. The returning characters list also does not include any characters recruitable in other paralogues, as the player may not have taken on any other available paralogue chapters yet. The list also does not include any bonus units, as they are recruitable at the player's discretion.
