(Corrin, Kaze, and Sakura all approach the Wind Tribe village)
Corrin: Here we are... The Wind Tribe...
Sakura: I'm glad to see it's still standing... If Azura was right about the Faceless attacks, then Hinoka might be wrapped up in fighting right now... We have to find her!
Kaze: It doesn't look like we'll need to look far.
(Nearby, Hinoka, Setsuna, Azama, Fuga, and Hayato are battling Faceless)
Sakura: H-Hinoka!
Hinoka: Sakura! Corrin! What are you doing here? I thought you were staying close to the capital!
Corrin: We were worried about you! Azura said she heard of Faceless raids in the area!
Hinoka: Then she heard right! I don't even know how they got this far into Hoshido without being spotted! If they crossed the border from Nohr, they had to have gone through half of the kingdom to get here!
Kaze: Gods... That seems impossible...
Corrin: We can't dwell on how they got in here now. We just need to make sure that these villagers remain safe. How long has this been going on?
Hinoka: I arrived here three days ago with my retainers, Setsuna and Azama. The chieftain of the tribe agreed to grant us alliance in the war after I arrived, but I haven't been able to get out. The Faceless have been coming in constantly!
Kaze: Perhaps we should try and bring down the number of Faceless.
Corrin: I agree. Let's defend the village the best we can!
(The battle begins. Unlike the game, this map is set up like a defense mission. Up at the top, there are five green units near the entrance to the village, Hinoka, Setsuna, Azama, Hayato, and Fuga. Corrin's party is gathered down at the bottom. The objective of this map is to defend the village and rout the enemy. If the village is invaded, a Game Over is received. Regardless of if they survive or not, Hinoka, Setsuna, Azama, and Hayato will join at the end of the map)
(After the battle)
Hinoka: That's the last of them... They've stopped coming, so I think we can breathe easy for the time being...
Fuga: Thank you for your help.
Corrin: It was our pleasure. I just hope that will help with your Faceless problem. If you don't mind my asking, what's your name?
Hinoka: Corrin, this is Chief Fuga. He's the chieftain of the Wind Tribe. Like I mentioned before, he's agreed to ally with us in the war.
Fuga: It's a pleasure to see you again, Corrin. My, you've grown since we last met.
Corrin: You know me?
Fuga: Of course. Your father and I were once good friends. I haven't seen you since you were just a child though, due to a certain tragedy in Nestra...
Corrin: Y-Yeah...
Fuga: Corrin, I noticed that you lack a divine weapon.
Corrin: Divine weapon? Am I supposed to have one?
Fuga: They have run in the Hoshidan royal family for centuries. Word has it that they were gifts from the Dawn Dragon Akiri herself to the first queen of Hoshido.
Sakura: Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and I all have one. Ryoma has Raijinto, which is the sword our father once used. Takumi uses the Fujin Yumi. I'm sure you noticed the bright blue bow he carries about.
Hinoka: I use Warrior Princess, yet another bow of Hoshido. It gained its title from the first Hoshidan queen who wielded it. I'm nowhere near as proficient with the bow as Takumi though. I've always preferred the naginata, so I'm still honing my skills with it.
Sakura: Finally, there's Sanata, a staff said to be able to heal any wound so long as it isn't fatal. Unlike most staves, it doesn't break after a few uses. That's what I have.
Corrin: I see... Let me guess. You all got your divine weapons after Father passed away, yes?
Hinoka: Yeah... Unfortunately, you were gone, so we didn't have much of anything to give to you. We didn't even know where you were.
Corrin: That's alright. Don't worry about it. However, when you mention divine weapons, it reminds me a bit of Nohr.
Sakura: Nohr?
Corrin: Yeah. Over there, all four of the other royal siblings have divine weapons. Xander has the sword Siegfried, Camilla has the axe Sukeyu, Leo has the tome Brynhildr, and Elise has another tome called Moonlight.
Hinoka: Legend has it that there were twelve divine weapons in total when the dragon goddesses left this mortal plane. However, it seems as if only eight are accounted for as of now... Do you think Nohr has any of the others?
Corrin: If they did, I would probably know about it... But I don't know if we should be dwelling on the subject long. We should press on. Now that we've rescued the village from the Faceless, perhaps we should go back to Shirasagi. Mother is awake. She'll be wanting to see you, Hinoka.
Fuga: Perhaps you should stop by Izumo as well. I am sure that the ruler will be glad to assist you in the battle against Nohr.
Hinoka: You're right. We can cut through home, see Mother, and then go on to Izumo.
Fuga: Before you go, I'd like to send someone with you. Hayato?
(Hayato enters)
Hayato: Yes?
Fuga: I'd like you to travel with the Hoshidan royal family. You've always wanted to see the world outside of the village. Perhaps now is your chance.
Hayato: Do you think you can take care of the village without me?
Fuga: You don't need to worry about that. I'll be alright. No Faceless will get in so long as I'm here.
Corrin: Hey, I remember you from the battle. Hayato, was it?
Fuga: My son Hayato is one of our most powerful mages. He'll be a great asset to your team. Don't judge him by his youthful appearance. He can battle with all sorts of fighters, including Faceless as you saw today.
Hayato: You don't need to play me up like that. They'll figure it out soon enough how skilled I am.
Fuga: Perhaps it is my job as your guardian to do so, Hayato.
Corrin: Thank you, Chief Fuga. We're glad to have him.
Sakura: We should get going... Thank you for all your help.
Fuga: It was my pleasure, Sakura.
(Scene transition to outside of the village)
Corrin: We've gotten four new allies in the span of a battle... I must admit, that's rather impressive.
Hinoka: Ah! That's right! In the midst of it all, I forgot to introduce my retainers to you. Corrin, meet Setsuna and Azama.
Setsuna: Hey...
Azama: Oh! So this is the one that you've been talking about for all those years! You know, if I didn't know any better, I would be convinced that you had a crush on-
Hinoka: That's enough, Azama! Gods, why do I even keep you around again?
Azama: Because you know that I'm the one who heals you when you feel the need to do something stupid in this meaningless plane of existence.
Hinoka: *sigh* I swear, you...
Setsuna: Lady Hinoka, I think I might have stepped into some quicksand...
Hinoka: Setsuna!
(Hinoka rescues Setsuna from the quicksand)
Hinoka: I suppose it could have ben worse...
Setsuna: Thank you, Lady Hinoka... Your help is appreciated...
Corrin: Quite the cast of characters you've got here...
Hinoka: Despite their unique quirks, they're still reliable. Setsuna's always been a strong fighter with the bow. Azama can heal you as well, assuming he's in the mood for it.
Corrin: I'm glad to have them on the team.
Sakura: Let's keep going back home... I'm a little bit worried about Mother still...
Hinoka: I agree. I'm glad she's doing better though. I was hesitant to leave the palace with her still injured.
Corrin: Azura has been taking care of her in our absence, though she does appreciate the visitors.
Sakura: I don't want to keep her waiting longer than we need to. Let's go.
The worst part about updating this story is that I have to go through and add all of the bolded stuff since it likes to unbold itself when I bring it over here. It's great. Yay.
