The Path Is Yours

You were not hurt? Tell me you're OK.
— Mikoto, to her child

Mother (Japanese:母と子Mother and Child) is the fifth chapter ofFire Emblem Fates, and the last full chapter before the game splits into its multiple campaigns. In this chapter, a celebration ofCorrin's return toHoshido is attacked by amysterious invader who steals Corrin'ssword and uses its power to killMikoto, causing Corrin to lose control of themselves in grief and transforming into aferal dragon. Once Corrin gets restored to their normal self, alegendary katana gets discovered in the rubble and chooses Corrin as its wielder.

Plot

Main article:Mother/Script

Mikoto, the Queen ofHoshido, showsCorrin the Shirasagi Castle throne, which can restore Corrin's memories of Hoshidan siblings by purifying the body and mind. Corrin then meetsYukimura and spends some time with their Hoshidan family, while Mikoto prepares a ceremony of announcing Corrin's presence in Hoshido.

Corrin and their siblings enter the city plaza after the ceremony begins, only for a mysterious figure to seizeGanglari and send its shards at Corrin. Mikoto blocks the shards with her body and dies, prompting Corrin to transform into a dragon in a fit of rage. A battle with mysterious figures begins, and once it ends,Azura calms Corrin down with her song, making them untransform. Azura offers Corrin aDragonstone to control their dragon form more easily, thenRyoma notes the town has been destroyed by Nohrians and Mikoto's death had been planned byGaron.

Kaze informs Ryoma of new Nohrian troop movements and Ryoma decides to meet them on the battlefield. Azura then pledges that she will join Corrin and their siblings in the fight.
