I hope you're all ready to go. We've got a mission in the western part of the kingdom. We're headed to an ancient ruin known as the Eternal Sanctum. The power that sleeps there will serve as an aid to the Order of Heroes-I'm sure of it!
— Anna

A Power Awakens (Japanese: いにしえより目覚めし Awakening from Ancient Times) is the first intermission chapter in Book I of Fire Emblem Heroes, taking place after Chapter 13. This chapter, although not numbered as such, is part of the game's main story path; despite this, it is structured more along the lines of a xenologue in that it has only one part, although the chapter gives this one part its own name. This chapter serves as a backstory to the Sacred Seal Forge mechanic, and must be cleared in order to access said mechanic.

This chapter was added to the game as part of an update released on October 9, 2017, alongside the Sacred Seal Forge mechanic to which it serves as backstory for.

Plot

Main article: A Power Awakens/Script

The Order of Heroes are heading on a mission toward an ancient ruin called the Eternal Sanctum in western Askr, Anna having been told that the temple holds a power inside by Zacharias, though she is not sure what kind of power it is. As they arrive at the temple, however, the group finds that there are Heroes guarding it, and must battle them.

Reaching the bottom of the sanctum, the Order comes across a stone with ancient Askran writing on it. Alfonse reads the stone, telling that the sanctum contains a part of the dragon Askr's "Rite of Awakening" to unlock the power of Sacred Seals, and describing how to perform the rite. With this knowledge, the Order of Heroes returns to the castle.
