“
|
Individual lives taken before your eyes weigh more heavily than the many lives taken during the chaos of war. If that life is someone dear, the burden is even worse. It's only human. Isn't that true? Micaiah. It's your caring soul that I admire. That's why I want it to be you. I want you to kill me.

— Pelleas

Blood Contract (Japanese: 血の代償 Blood Compensation) is the thirteenth chapter of part 3 of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. In this chapter, Micaiah and Pelleas attempt to free themselves of the blood pact binding Daein to Begnion, but to little avail. Afterwards, Daein makes its last stand against Ike and the Laguz Alliance.
Plot
- Main article: Blood Contract/Script
- See also: Blood Contract/Conversations
In Castle Nox, Sothe delivers news to Tauroneo that Begnion has been in an uproar recently, as Zelgius freed Sephiran from imprisonment, with the latter urging the people to side with the apostle instead of the senate. Though Tauroneo gets the idea to forge an alliance with the apostle's supporters, Pelleas warns against this, saying it will incite the blood pact's curse; he also states that defeating the senate will not keep it from coming either. Having found a way to truly break it, he requests Micaiah be brought to him, and Sothe quickly obliges. In private, he reveals to Micaiah, Sothe, and Tauroneo the solution: to end the blood pact, the pact-maker—Pelleas—must be killed by a third party. The three quickly object, with Micaiah unwilling to go through with it after having seen Sothe nearly killed earlier. Pelleas ponders on Micaiah's caring nature, and tells her that said nature is exactly why he wants her specifically to kill him. He encourages her to kill him for the good of Daein, or to let someone else kill him in her stead; a choice is then presented to the player.
Obey his command
Mustering up resolve, Micaiah decides to end his life herself. Pelleas thanks her, then asks Tauroneo to look after Daein on his behalf, and then apologizes to Sothe for the stress he put him and Micaiah through. Lastly, he asks Micaiah to give his mother a ring to remember him by. With all said and done, Micaiah kills Pelleas, and mourns his loss. Later, with Pelleas's corpse being laid down, Almedha rushes in to see him, and responds in horror at the sight. She becomes enraged, and Sothe clarifies that Pelleas's death was his own wish. She then shows them, however, that the mark of the blood pact remains on Pelleas's arm, meaning his death was in vain.
Pass the burden to another
Micaiah still refuses, and Pelleas reassures her that it is okay. He then asks Tauroneo to commit the deed, then apologizes to Sothe for the stress he put him and Micaiah through. Lastly, he asks Micaiah to give his mother a ring to remember him by. With all said and done, Tauroneo kills Pelleas, and Micaiah mourns his loss. Later, with Pelleas's corpse being laid down, Almedha rushes in to see him, and responds in horror at the sight. She becomes enraged, and Sothe clarifies that Pelleas's death was his own wish. She then shows them, however, that the mark of the blood pact remains on Pelleas's arm, meaning his death was in vain.
Refuse his command
Micaiah still refuses, and Pelleas reassures her that it is okay. He then asks Tauroneo to commit the deed, then apologizes to Sothe for the stress he put him and Micaiah through. Lastly, he asks Micaiah to give his mother a ring to remember him by. Before Tauroneo can kill Pelleas, however, Micaiah objects again, and steps in front of him as Tauroneo strikes. Worried, Pelleas calls for a healer, though Micaiah explains that she is somehow mostly unharmed. She then questions the truth of the materials he researched, unwilling to let him die in vain, and then falls unconscious. Pelleas thanks her for her choice.
After any of the three choices, Tibarn receives word from Janaff and Ulki that the Daein Army is hiding in Nox Castle. Ranulf, Skrimir, Sanaki, and Ike are then seen speaking together. Ranulf is befuddled by the Daein Army's current size: a mere ten thousand men. Sanaki suggests speaking with them, given they likely know of the rebellion in Begnion. Before Ike heads out, Rafiel and Nailah request to be taken along so that they can speak with Micaiah, while Reyson and Leanne tend to the medallion. Ike agrees, and moments later, his army begins storming the castle. Prepared for the fight of their lives, Micaiah and the Daein Army defend the castle with all they have. Though they fight valiantly, Ranulf arrives and brings forth the main force, signaling the end of the battle for Daein. With their defenses broken, Micaiah and her army are forced to retreat into the castle.
As they await their potential demise, Sothe ponders that Almedha seemed to know a good deal about the blood pact. Micaiah decides to find her, but the apostle's army has already breached the castle already. Outside, Ranulf warns Ike that the chaotic energy of the battle is causing the other laguz to begin losing control of themselves. Janaff, Ulki, and Tibarn then see something enormous coming on the horizon: a mighty black dragon, who topples a castle tower with its breath. Alongside the dragon, Ena and Elincia arrive, demanding a ceasefire. With no way to deal with a black dragon, Ike and his army retreat. Kurthnaga then runs up to Micaiah, wishing to keep her and his sister safe. Micaiah orders all other Daein soldiers to stop fighting when Nailah comes up to them with Rafiel.
Back in the apostle's army's camp, Ike learns that the black dragon they saw was in fact Prince Kurthnaga. Ena clarifies that Kurthnaga intends to stop the destruction of Daein and end the war. Baffled by this, Sanaki mentions that Daein up until this point has refused all ceasefires, and that she cannot waste any more time on the matter. Everyone gathered takes notice of the medallion's flames, which are burning ever stronger. Such flames gave the medallion another name: the Fire Emblem. Ena warns again that the war must end soon so that the dark god sealed within it may not be awakened. Ike and Elincia then meet in private, where she informs him that she and Lucia came searching for Bastian, and ran into Kurthnaga along the way. Bastian had been sent as an envoy to investigate the reappearance of the Black Knight, but with little success, and had been missing ever since. Ike then suggests that Elincia and Lucia travel with his army for safety.
Beginning log
Daein launches a surprise attack against the apostle's army, devastating her forces. It is all Apostle Sanaki can do to allay her remaining troops' burning desire for revenge. She knows that there is no hope of victory if her weakened forces are divided. However, she cannot move forward while danger follows at her back. This dilemma weighs heavily on the apostle's troops, crushing their morale. Meanwhile, the Daein forces pull back to the fastness of Nox Castle. Micaiah, unable to explain her mission to her soldiers, keeps Daein's army together through sheer force of will.
