The Grado capital... It looks like it hasn't changed at all since the last time I was here. Eirika and I came here once long ago with our father. Duessel taught me the lance, and I studied history with Lyon. I never imagined I'd come back here armed for battle.
— Ephraim

Father and Son (Japanese: 父と子と Father and son) is the fourteenth chapter of Ephraim's route in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Plot

Main article: Father and Son/Script

Ephraim's army reaches the capital of Grado, Grado Keep; Ephraim reminisces on when he visited two years prior, when Lyon taught him history, and he agreed to teach Lyon how to wield a lance. A minor earthquake occurs before Ephraim begins his assault on the capital, and Myrrh feels the source of the foul energy she has been tracking emanating from within the keep. Inside Grado Keep, Lyon speaks with an unresponsive Vigarde, asking if he has done the right thing. A soldier arrives, and Lyon's appearance changes, unnerving the soldier; the soldier informs Vigarde and Lyon that Ephraim's forces have entered the keep, and Lyon orders the Grado soldiers to fight and defeat Ephraim.

During the battle, Rennac enters the keep to loot it during the battle. If Ephraim talks to Rennac, Rennac recognizes Ephraim, and offers to be hired for 9,980 gold out of fear of Ephraim's reputation as "the Beast of Renais", which Ephraim can accept or reject. Alternately, if L'Arachel speaks to Rennac, she recognizes him and tells him to accompany her; Rennac initially refuses, citing poor treatment and low wages earlier, but reluctantly complies with her continued insistence.

When Vigarde is fought, he is unresponsive; when he is defeated and the throne seized, his body disintegrates. Ephraim and Seth are taken aback, but decide to patrol the castle regardless. Ephraim and Seth come across Lyon; Lyon claims to have planned the war from the beginning, to have befriended Ephraim and Eirika only to better destroy Renais, and to have killed Fado himself. Ephraim is shocked, and Lyon think to kill Ephraim, but finds himself too weak to attempt; Lyon then teleports away. After Lyon has left, a soldier informs Ephraim that they have found a cell block and a captive.

Ephraim and Seth arrive at the cells to find Knoll, a former arcane researcher for Grado awaiting execution. Knoll explains to them the circumstances that lead to the war: Approximately a year ago, Vigarde died of an illness, and Lyon attempted to use Grado's Sacred Stone to resurrect him. One day Lyon created what he called the Dark Stone, with which he resurrected Vigarde; in front of Knoll, Lyon then destroyed Grado's Sacred Stone, and stated the the other four stones must also be destroyed. After explaining the reason for the war, Knoll escorts Ephraim and Seth to the chamber which housed the Sacred Stones, where Grado's Sacred Twin relics are located; Knoll asks Ephraim to take them.

In Grado Keep's throne room, a messenger arrives to inform Ephraim that Eirika is under attack from two Grado armies lead by Caellach and Valter at Jehanna. Ephraim orders his army to march to Eirika's aid immediately.
