“In a future different to ours, the world has fallen into despair and the children's lives are endangered.”
—Opening Narration

The Future Past 1 (Future of Despair 1 in the Japanese version) is Xenologue 23 of Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Overview

In the alternate future, Cynthia, Kjelle, Noire, and Nah are trapped in separate prisons and attacked by Risen led by a Male Morgan. At least one of the four must survive the map. Rescue Staves do not work on this map.

All four girls' stats are calculated the same way as it was done in their recruitment chapters. Their skill inheritance works the same way, inheriting the last skill in their parent's skill banks, even if it's not the same one they inherited when they were recruited. If their mother's are not married, they will only carry the stat modifiers and skill from their mothers.

Each of the girls will have a special conversation with each of their parents if their parents end their turn next to them. The recruited versions of them will have a special internal monologue if they end their turns next to the NPC version of themselves. In order to view these conversations, the player must recruit their playable versions in the main game.

Story

Chrom and his army is summoned by Naga to the Outrealms to help and save 12 children performing the perilous task of collecting the Five Gemstones to perform the Awakening Ritual and stop Grima's reign. Naga asks for Chrom's help to save that world and spare the children from a cruel fate, which he accepts. Naga sends Chrom and his army to a fort where Cynthia, Kjelle, Noire, and Nah have managed to obtain Gules and Azure. Unfortunately, they are surrounded and cornered by Risen and their weapons have been taken, leaving them defenseless. All four have just about given up hope and prepared to say their final goodbyes. However, hope returns with the sudden appearance of their parents, or at least alternate versions of them. Joyful with a chance to see their parents once more and renewing hope that miracles can happen the four girls are successfully rescued and protected. After the battle, though the girls are saddened by the sudden departure of their parents after their short reunion, their spirits are higher than ever and they make haste to Ylisstol to deliver the Gemstones to Lucina.

Meanwhile back in Ylisstol, Tiki meets Lucina, saddened to report that Mount Prism has fallen to the Risen. Tiki is alarmed that Lucina has sent her friends out to search for the Gemstone and figures that Lucina wants to perform the Awakening Ceremony to end Grima. Knowing that only Exalted blood can perform the rite, Lucina is saddened by the fact that she cannot assist them or else risk their only chance of saving the world. Tiki offers to stay in Ylisse to help protect Lucina, but she senses an ill-presence and quickly pushes Lucina away, only for her to be stabbed by a mysterious figure.

Strategy

Secret Book (Artwork)
Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

It is best to hold off on this map until Sumia, Sully, Tharja, and Nowi all have achieved an S-Support and both the women and their husbands been sufficiently trained until they start to cap stats. Since none of the NPC children can attack, let them inherit passive and defensive skills like Counter, Pavise/Aegis, Weapon Breaker skills, and Quick Burn/Lucky Seven, anything to help them survive until you can get to them.

Without the boost from a Father, all of children them are extremely weak, even with the weak first tier enemies surrounding them. If it was just them, then the map would be a breeze, however the Risen outside of the prisons are all very strong promoted units, most of which will carry ranged weapons so they can attack through the walls. Noire and Nah will need to be rescued as soon as possible since they will most likely be the weakest out of the four. Kjelle and Cynthia should be fine until Sages approach them from the outside. You will need at least two people with Locktouch efficiently to open the cells and defeat the enemy; one to open the cells at the top, one to open the bottom ones. The NPC versions of the children will not move and cannot attack even after you rescue them. You will need to have someone guard them in case enemy reinforcements get too close. The Sorcerers packing Mire are incredibly dangerous as they can snipe the girls from a distance, so have someone near all the staircases to prevent these long range ambushes. These Sorcerors spawn from the the upper left staircase in the lower right corner room and from the left staircase in the room above Kjelle. Should any of the children run out of Elixirs, a Physic or Fortify will help keep them alive, especially since the Rescue Staff is disabled.

Enemy Male Morgan is a sorcerer packing Counter so if you plan on confronting him, attack from a distance. However if your Avatar is married, have your Avatar end their turn next to him to make him leave the map, sparing yourself of an unnecessary battle. With careful planning and management along with proper preparation, this map should go somewhat smoothly.

If none of your units carries a Locktouch skill, or carries any Door Key items, then you can wait several turns for the doors to open by themselves, or allow a Trickster Risen to open a door for you.
