(Kingdom of Nohr: Capital of Windmire. The camera shows Castle Krakenburg from the outside before fading to the indoors. King Garon is sitting on a throne as the Nohrian royal children enter)

Garon: I see you made it here safely, Corrin.

Corrin: Yes, Father. Long have I wished to see you and visit Castle Krakenburg again. I feel as if I'm dreaming...

Garon: It is only thanks to your diligence that you are here. I am told you are now a warrior on par with Xander. You finally possess the strength to be an instrument of Nohr's power in the world.

Elise: But, Father, will they be all right outside of the fortress?

Corrin: I appreciate your concern, but I earned my way here, and I'm ready to fight.

Garon: Nohr is at war with the eastern kingdom of Hoshido. We of the royal family are descendants of the ancient gods, the First Dragons. As inheritors of this divine strength, we conquer those who oppose us with ease. One who learns to wield this power can destroy an entire army of common troops. Xander, Camilla, and Leo have already shown that they can use this power. I expect no less from you.

Corrin: I am aware of your expectations, Father. I have trained daily to become as strong as my siblings.

Garon: You show promise, but you will need a suitable weapon in order to serve Nohr.

(Garon hands Ganglari to Corrin)

Garon: This is Ganglari, a sword infused with magic. With this sword, you can crush the Hoshidan army with ease.

Corrin: Thank you for this generous gift, Father.

Garon: Now, let us see you put that sword to its proper use. Bring out the prisoners!

Corrin: Prisoners?

(Kaze, Rinkah, and four other Hoshidan captives run onscreen)

Garon: These are prisoners from our most recent skirmish with Hoshido. I want to see you fight with my own eyes. Use that blade to strike them down.

(The battle begins. If Corrin is male)

Gunter: I shall join you, milord. My lance arm is perhaps rusty but still serviceable. Felicia, will you join us as well?

Felicia: Of course! I'm as much a bodyguard as a domestic, after all. To be honest, I was never great at the domestic stuff anyways...

(If Corrin is female)

Gunter: I shall join you, milady. My lance arm is perhaps rusty but still serviceable. Jakob, will you join us as well?

Jakob: Naturally. I couldn't allow someone of your advanced years to bear the burden alone. Relax, Corrin. There is no need for you to soil your hands with this filth. Please relax and leave the fighting to us.

(Both options converge here)

Rinkah: I am Rinkah, daughter of the Flame Tribe's honorable chieftain. What is your name, Nohrian royal?

Corrin: I'm Corrin.

Kaze: Corrin...

Corrin: Huh? Have you heard of me?

Kaze: ... I am Kaze, a ninja of Hoshido. Show me what you can do.

Garon: Kill them all!

(The camera points out a Dragon Vein. If Corrin is male)

Corrin: Is that...?

Felicia: Is something wrong, milord?

Corrin: I feel... something emanating from the ground. Could it be...

(Corrin uses the Dragon Vein)

Felicia: Oh! Th-that's amazing! You blew away all the debris!

Garon: Heh...Well done.

Gunter: Excellent plan, milord-now we can hide in there and ambush our foes.

(If Corrin is female)

Corrin: Is that...?

Jakob: Hm? Is something the matter, milady?

Corrin: I feel...something emanating from the ground. Could it be...

(Corrin uses the Dragon Vein)

Jakob: Extraordinary! No debris field can stand up to your mighty lineage!

Garon: Heh... Well done.

Gunter: Excellent plan, milady-now we can hide in there and ambush our foes.

(Both options converge here. When Gunter is selected)

Gunter: Remain focused. This is no mock battle. A mistake here could cost your life.

(When Felicia is selected)

Felicia: You should know I'm trained to use daggers up close or thrown from afar. I can even do it while hiding behind walls, which might come in handy!

(When Jakob is selected)

Jakob: I'm well trained in the dagger, which is effective both up close and at range. I can even fight while hiding behind walls, which may prove useful.

(Player phase on turn two)

Gunter: Remember your training. Each weapon has strengths and weaknesses. Consider them before you attack.

(If Corrin is male)

Felicia: It's useful to stay close to your allies. If you stand side by side, you can help each other in battle.

(If Corrin is female)

Jakob: It's useful to stay close to your allies. If you fight side by side, you can help each other in combat.

(Felicia is selected a second time)

Felicia: Maids can also use staves to heal wounds. If you get hurt, let me know right away!

(If Jakob is selected a second time)

Jakob: Butlers can also use staves to heal wounds. Please inform me immediately should you be injured.

(Kaze is engaged in combat by anyone aside from Corrin)

Kaze: A ninja's shuriken may not cut deep, but it can sap you of your strength. You death need not come all at once.

(If Corrin engages Kaze in combat)

Corrin: You seemed to know my name before. Where do you know me from? Does it have anything to do with my lost memories?

Kaze: It does not matter. We have no choice but to fight, so let the battle begin.

(Kaze is defeated)

Kaze: I regret... nothing...

(Rinkah is engaged in combat)

Rinkah: Behold the might of the Flame Tribe!

(Rinkah is defeated)

Rinkah: Nohrian scum...

(After the fight is over, this dialogue begins)

Kaze: This is how it ends...

Corrin: I hope all Hoshidans aren't this strong...

Garon: Don't just stand there! Finish them!

Corrin: But, Father, they're beaten. You want me to execute helpless prisoners?

Garon: You dare question me?! I order you to kill them!

Corrin: No! It's wrong!

Elise: Corrin! What are you-

Garon: You would defy me directly?!

Xander: Father, please forgive them. Corrin doesn't yet understand our situation.

Garon: Fine, Xander, you kill them. And if anyone gets in your way, kill them too.

Xander: Stand down, Corrin. If you don't, I'm afraid I'll have to-

Corrin: These people can't fight anymore! Why not show mercy?

Leo: Why does this fall to me?

(Leo uses Brynhildr to make Kaze and Rinkah collapse before turning to Garon)

Leo: I have dispatched our enemies on behalf of my softhearted sibling. I only ask that you would be merciful in your punishment of them...

Garon: Enough! I will consider the matter later!

(Garon leaves)

Corrin: Leo! How could you?! They were beaten! There was no reason to kill them!

Leo: Agreed. Now hush.

Xander: Enough, both of you. The battle is over. Now, we must hurry the prisoners out before Father realizes what you have done.

Corrin: Leo, your spell...

Leo: Was only enough to weaken them, yes. I should have followed Father's orders, but Camilla and Elise always make such a fuss when I upset you.

Corrin: Thank you, Leo.

Elise: Thank you! That was great!

Camilla: It was, but we must be careful. Father never forgets a slight.

(The scene changes to outside Castle Krakenburg)

Xander: Listen well. It is only my sibling's kind heart that has bought your freedom. Leave now, lest you be spotted by our king.

Rinkah: Softhearted fool...

Corrin: I understand that Hoshido and Nohr are at war, but I'm trying to plan ahead for when the war is over and we can all live in peace.

Rinkah: I've heard of a sheltered Nohrian noble who knows nothing of the outside world. I see now those rumors are true. If we do meet again, the world will have no doubt taught you the error of your ways. The world is less forgiving than you realize.

(Kaze and Rinkah leave)

Another chapter of the rewrite!

I've been getting more and more excited for this the more that I type it. I'm going to be able to jump right into the Birthright path after finishing up chapter six. I'm pretty hyped to start implementing major changes. The only alterations right now are minor, so getting into the larger differences will be exciting.

Anyways, I think that's about all I have to say for now! I'll see you all later!
