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 ofFire Emblem Heroes, taking place afterChapter 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 theSacred 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.
