(Thie scene is inside the palace of Nohr, Castle Krakenburg. Garon is sitting on the throne. Iago knocks on the door)

Garon: Enter.

Iago: King Garon, Lord Corrin has returned. It seems they quelled the rebellion without taking a single life. They have requested an audience with you, my liege. What should I tell them?

Garon: I will be there momentarily.

Iago: Consider it done, your majesty.

(Corrin enters the room and stands with their siblings)

Corrin: I have returned, Father.

Garon: Iago told me of your victory. You've done well.

Corrin: Thank you, Father.

Iago: There is one small problem. I heard from my sources that Corrin did not carry out this mission alone.

Garon: Is this true, Corrin? Did you or did you not face the Ice Tribe alone?

Corrin: ...It is true. I did not fight them alone. I set out on my own, as ordered, but I was ambushed along the way. Reinforcements arrived to help me. Felicia/Jakob, Silas, and Elise saved my life. I couldn't have done it without you. I'm sorry for defying you. I beg your forgiveness.

Garon: You defied my orders and involved not only your retainers but your sister too?

Iago: This behavior simply cannot be tolerated. Such sacrilege demands a severe punishment.

Thalone : Perhaps we should hold off for a while.

(Thalone enters the room)

Thalone : Another test would be sufficient.

Garon: I had another task in mind already. This works out well. I would like you to capture Notre Sagesse and bring it under Nohrian rule.

Corrin: Notre Sagesse...

Garon: It is an island nation separated from the rest of Pheuyura. It is surrounded by ruins of a fallen kingdom. I have heard the ruler may ally with Hoshido. Go immediately and eradicate the Hoshidan soldiers you find along the way.

Corrin: You want me to battle the Hoshidan army...?!

Garon: That isn't a problem, is it? Or, after all that, are you reluctant to raise a sword against the land of your birth?

Corrin: I... I am Nohrian, through and through. I will carry out the mission without fail.

Garon: Do not let me down.

Corrin: I won't fail you, Father.

(The scene transitions to the Nohrian siblings standing together at the palace entrance)

Corrin: It seems I must be off now.

Xander: Take care, Corrin.

Camilla: I do wish I could come with you, but I've been tasked with a mission of my own...

Corrin: We'll be fine, Camilla.

Elise: Yeah! We'll be back in no time flat.

Leo: Elise is going with you? Now I'm really worried.

Elise: Hey! That's not funny, Leo!

Corrin: You two...

Xander: The Rainbow Sage resides in Notre Sagesse. He grants divine power to those he deems worthy. Seek him out.

Corrin: I never knew... Granted, because of my isolated upbringing, I knew naught about Notre Sagesse until Father mentioned it.

Xander: In order to gain this power, be aware that you will have to face many trials first. If you seek him out, make sure you're prepared.

Corrin: You know quite a bit about the Rainbow Sage.

Xander: But of course. I once visited him myself.

Corrin: That's incredible... Thank you for the advice, Xander.

Xander: I look forward to your safe return.

Leo: Best of luck.

Camilla: Please be careful.

(The scene changes to show Silas, Corrin, and Elise standing before a fort)

Corrin: This fort is enormous... Are we meant to pass through?

Silas: We are. The road that leads to the port is on the other side.

Corrin: It looks like there are Hoshidan soldiers inside...

Silas: We'll have to be careful.

Corrin: Alright... I can do this. Let's prepare before they see us.

(The battle begins. Nyx and Azura appear on the battlefield, the latter without a weapon)

Nyx: What a nuisance... I can't believe they thought I was a Faceless castor... Tch. I have to get out of here. There's no telling what they'll do to me if I don't.

Azura: After all those years spent alongside Hoshido, they betray me still at the first sign of danger... I understand why they would be wary of a Nohrian, but there isn't anything I can do now... Wait... Are those Nohrian soldiers? It appears they're my only hope, but I doubt they'll ever accept me after my betrayal years ago...

(Corrin talks to Nyx or vice versa)

Corrin: What are you doing here? You're definitely not a Hoshidan soldier. It's dangerous out here. Come on over to our side. We'll protect you.

Nyx: I require none of your paltry protection.

Corrin: Are you sure?

Nyx: I mean what I said.

Corrin: You look so young...

Nyx: My age is none of your business.

Corrin: Your family must be worried sick...

Nyx:

Corrin: ...You can't evade the Hoshidan army all by yourself. You need us. I'll gladly let you fight on our side after the battle if you desire, though you can leave if you want too.

Nyx: ...Alright. Since you insist. Use my magic as you see fit.

(Engaging Haitaka, the boss of the map)

Haitaka : Care for a little lesson in Hoshidan combat?

(Haitaka is defeated)

Haitaka: How... mortifying...

(After the battle, Azura stands before Corrin)

Azura: Hello, Corrin.

Corrin: Azura! What are you doing here? Why were the Hoshidans fighting against you? I thought they were your allies.

Azura: As did I, but when the war started, things changed. The Hoshidans wished to banish me for my Nohrian heritage, believing I would leave just like you did.

Corrin: Azura...

Azura: Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura stood up for me and tried to protect me, but... They were gone one night, and I was taken here. I believe they were planning to execute me... Thank you, Corrin. I owe you my life.

Corrin: Please don't thank me. This is my fault to begin with. It's not fair you were taken from your home on my account.

Azura: Don't blame yourself...

Corrin: I... I'm just glad you're okay.

Azura: ...If... If It's not too much of a burden, I need a place to stay... Maybe we can end this senseless war together.

Corrin: Of course! I would be honored to have you by my side.

Azura: Thank you, Corrin...

(Elise appears)

Elise: Corrin! We're ready to go!

Corrin: Thanks, Elise. We'll join you momentarily.

Elise: Um... Who's this?

Corrin: This is Azura. She'll be traveling with us from now on. She was a Nohrian princess once.

Elise: Does that mean she's my big sister?!

Azura: I... I suppose so...

Elise: It's nice to meet you, sis!

Azura: I-It's a pleasure to meet you as well... Thank you for the warm welcome, Elise.

Elise: Come on! I'll introduce you to everyone!

Corrin: Azura is a bit shy. Be careful not to overwhelm her...

(Corrin approaches Nyx, who had been standing nearby)

Corrin: The battle is over. Should we take you somewhere?

Nyx: I... I've decided to stay by your side.

Corrin: I'm glad to hear it. We could use your magical skill.

Nyx: I'm an able tactician if you need one as well. It's the least I can do for you since you saved me from execution.

Corrin: Execution?

Nyx: The soldiers believed I was a Faceless castor. They were planning to have me killed.

Corrin: I'm glad we came just in time then...

Nyx: I'll gladly help with your tactics until the time comes for us to part ways.

Corrin: The help is appreciated. Thank you.

Nyx: Don't mention it...

Corrin: Welcome to the team.

Nyx: ...Why are you being so nice to me?

Corrin: Why not?

Nyx: I could easily be a spy sent to have you killed.

Corrin: I know the world is cruel... But I want to have faith in people where I can. Plus, I can tell you're genuine. You've got a king heart. It's easy to see.

Nyx: You... You are too kind...

Corrin: I'm glad to have you. Don't mistake my disposition for naivety.

Nyx: I'll take care not to make that mistake in the future.

Corrin: Thank you. Now, let's go catch up with the others.

Nyx: Alright...

(Corrin leaves)

Nyx: You're far too kind...


Nyx is plot relevant in this rewrite. Awesome, right?
