The Crux of Fate (Japanese:未来を選びし者The person who chooses the future) is the seventhparalogue chapter ofFire Emblem Engage, unlocked upon the completion ofChapter 15. As a paralogue chapter, its events are not integral to the game's main storyline and can be done at the player's leisure. In this chapter,Alear takes on a challenge fromEmblem Corrin in a place familiar to her in order to deepen their bonds.

Plot

Main article:The Crux of Fate/Script

Alear andCorrin find themselves in a river inFirene, which Corrin likens to the place whereher fate branched into three options. Alear is confused, so she explains that in her home world, she was born in the kingdom ofHoshido, but raised in the opposing kingdom ofNohr. She tells Alear that the river was where the two countries fought, and she had to choose between siding with either of them, or fighting alone. Alear empathizes with her plight, and she challenges them to a battle, both to prove the convictions of their own choice to fightSombron and to strengthen their bonds, which Alear accepts.

Alear manages to defeat Corrin, who commends them for giving her sword,Yato, a worthy fight. She tells them how the sword was forged to bring peace to the world, and that it chose her on the same dayher mother died. Alear empathizes with her, having also losttheir mother. Corrin expresses gratitude to both her friends and the Yato for giving her the strength to carry on after that event. She warns Alear that their future choices may bring them suffering, but that she will remain by their side, and Alear thanks her for this.
