An Ill Presage is the twenty-second chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. This chapter sees the Shepherds en route to the Dragon's Table in pursuit of Validar in order to recover the Fire Emblem before it's too late. Standing in their way is Aversa, commanding a group of 12 beings rooted in Jugdrali lore and given a Plegian touch; some of these beings even wield weapons of Jugdrali origin.

Plot

Main article: An Ill Presage/Script

The Shepherds encounter villagers possessedly marching towards a structure identified as the Dragon's Table by Frederick, who also reports Validar having moved there. Chrom surmises that these are signs of Lucina's cataclysmic future, and the Shepherds make way for the Dragon's Table. As the Ylisseans arrive, Validar orders Aversa to distract them while he finishes preparations, though to be careful that they can reclaim Robin's power. Validar taunts Chrom over the future already being set and Aversa reveals that Walhart had intended to conquer Plegia and stop them from reviving Grima. Validar then leaves and Aversa commands the Deadlords to defeat the Shepherds.

In battle, Aversa can reveal to Chrom that Validar was her adoptive father; she can reveal to Robin that Excellus was their puppet in Valm, meant to collapse the empire from the inside should the Shepherds have failed. Upon her defeat, Aversa flees, and Chrom concludes that Validar's preparations must already be complete.

Summary

The Ylisseans go to the Dragon's Table to retrieve the Emblem, but the ritual to resurrect Grima is already underway. They break through and head for the altar.

Trivia

• If the player enters first-person during a battle and zooms out, there will be an odd black marking on the bottom-left of the screen. Moving the camera shows it is attached to the camera movements and moves along the ground, going behind battle scenery. This mark does not appear on any other battle area.
