(The scene is the Ice Tribe village. Corrin, Elise, Silas, and Jakob/Felicia are standing together)
(If Corrin is male)
Felicia: Well... Here we are.
(If Corrin is female)
Jakob: We have arrived.
(Both options converge here)
Corrin: I hope we can settle this matter through peace. I don't want to fight if we don't have to.
Elise: If we talk it out with the people here, we should be able to get through it without any fighting.
Silas: I hope you're right... Now, let's see... Where would the leader be?
(If Corrin is male)
Felicia: I think he should be in the largest building at the center of town.
(If Corrin is female)
Jakob: That large building might be our destination. I figure the chief will be inside.
(Both options converge here)
Corrin: Alright. In that case, let's do it. Remember, everyone. We will not raise our weapons. These people are innocent.
(The scene changes to the inside of the central building in the Ice Tribe. They are standing with the leader of the tribe, Klima)
Klima: You wished to see me?
Corrin: Yes. My name is Corrin. I am something of an ambassador from Nohr.
Elise: And I'm Elise!
Klima: It's nice to meet you both.
(If Corrin is male)
Felicia: Hello, Father!
Klima: Felicia! I never expected to see you here!
Felicia: It's been too long, Father. I missed you.
(No such dialogue takes place if Corrin is female. Flora appears)
Flora: Lord Corrin?
(If Corrin is male)
Felicia: Flora! You're here too!
Flora: Felicia! I was worried sick about you!
Felicia: I'm sorry for scaring you. I'm just happy we're here now.
(If Corrin is female)
Jakob: Flora? Is that you?
Flora: It is, as a matter of fact. I came to visit the tribe after you left with Lady Corrin.
Jakob: I suppose it's good to see you, even if you should likely be at the fort still...
(Both options converge here)
Klima: It appears you're much more important than you originally stated, Corrin.
Corrin: I suppose so... I apologize for not telling you the truth sooner, but I feared you would react in a hostile way... In truth, Elise and I are royals from Nohr. We wanted to discuss a peace agreement between Nohr and the Ice Tribe.
Klima: Nohr wants peace with us? I somehow doubt that.
Corrin: I've heard of your rebellion, and I wanted to ask about it.
Klima: First, lay down your weapons.
Corrin: ...Alright.
(Corrin throws their sword onto the ground)
Klima: ...Go on.
Corrin: Why are you rebelling against Nohr?
Klima: The Nohrian king has been extorting us for far too long. We have had enough of his tyranny.
Corrin: I see...
Klima: I never would have anticipated Nohr would send people to speak with us peacefully. With the recent behavior of that dastard Garon, I would have expected him to send troops to destroy us all.
Corrin: Of course not. We want to talk this out and perhaps reach a compromise.
???: Don't lie to them, Lord Corrin.
(Iago appears)
Corrin: I-Iago!
Iago: What are you doing, trying to lie to them? You don't want peace. Your father sent you here to suppress the rebellion, not sit around the fire and have tea with its leader!
Corrin: Iago, stop!
Iago: I merely have to make sure that you stay on the proper course. I can't have you straying so soon. I'll see you back at the palace, my lord.
(Iago leaves)
Corrin: I-I promise, there's an explanation for this!
Klima: ...I see what we have to do. If you truly wish to take us down by force, we have no other choice. We fight!
Flora: Father, I—
Klima: Flora, we must save our people. We can't let them fall to Nohr's tyranny.
Flora: ...I understand.
Corrin: I really don't want to fight you! Please, you must listen to me!
(If Corrin is male)
Felicia: Flora, you can't really want to fight us!
(If Corrin is female)
Jakob: Flora, halt this madness at once!
(Both options converge here)
Flora: ...Forgive me.
Silas: We don't have any other options.
Corrin: We have to fight... Spare as many people as you can. They're innocent!
(The battle begins)
Klima: Do not let them escape! They are a danger to our people!
(Triggering a Dragon Vein)
Klima: Did you truly manage to melt the lake's ice with the power of Dragon Veins? You will soon find it was all for nothing. This sacred land is blessed with divine protection. By the power of our tribe, this lake will freeze once more!
(Turn one ends. Odin and Niles enter the battlefield)
Odin: The darkness is calling... whispering... seething! It's saying our foes are unwitting yet dangerous. So, it has been decided by the treacherous hand of fate. We have no choice... We must use the darkness swarming inside to claim the golden glow of victory!
Niles: Of course...
Corrin: Who are you?
Odin: Didn't you hear me talk about the darkness?! Well, it can't be helped... Who am I, you ask? I am Odin Dark! I am the keeper of darkness, chosen protector of the youngest Nohrian prince!
Corrin: So... You're Leo's retainer? And he sent you to help me?
Niles: That would be the sane version. Name's Niles. Lord Leo sent us to help you.
Corrin: Alright. Let me get you up to speed...
(Entering a house)
Child: Whoa, a soldier! What's going on? Huh? Don't leave my house today? Well, if you say so. I'll tell my family.
Old Woman: The Nohrian army?! Leave me alone! I have nothing of value! I'll lock myself inside...
Old Man: So, you scoundrels have come at last! Well, if you're going to kill me, get on with it! Huh? You're not going to kill me? ...I'm locking up now. Don't come knocking again, you hear?
Boy: The Nohrian army is here?! We're not ready to fight yet! Look, we surrender, okay? You win! We will not fight! Please, spare my family!
( Initiating combat with Flora)
Flora: As a 'daughter of the Ice Tribe, it is my duty to protect our people!
(Corrin initiates combat with Flora)
Flora: I'm sorry for this unfortunate circumstance... I know this is tantamount to treason, but my family... My tribe... We simply cannot bow down to Nohrian rule.
Corrin: You don't need to apologize... I know your intentions are true... I will do all I can to help you and the other people of your tribe!
(Felicia initiates combat with Flora)
Flora: Felicia...
Felicia: I don't want to fight you, sister...
Flora: Me neither...
Felicia: I... I'm sorry... I hope we can still be friends after this.
Flora: ...
(Jakob initiates combat with Flora)
Flora: It's good to see you, Jakob... Though I wish it was under better circumstances.
Jakob: I never dreamed I'd find you here... I know of the difficulty of your situation, but I have no choice but to settle this matter with force.
Flora: I never swore my allegiance. I refused. Felicia and I were little more than hostages, taken as children, all to prevent this from happening, to stop the Ice Tribe from rebelling. I often thought of running away, but I never did. I stayed... because of you.
Jakob: Flora...
Flora: I'm sorry. I really am.
(Flora is defeated)
Flora: I wish it didn't have to end this way...
(Initiating combat with Klima)
Klima: We are a proud people, and we shall not yield to the Kingdom of Nohr!
(Corrin initiates combat with Klima)
Klima: I was a fool to allow myself to be deceived by you.
Corrin: I know not the extent of what Nohr has done to your people. I ask that you listen to what I have to say at least.
Klima: We shall see.
(Felicia initiates combat with Klima)
Klima: Felicia, you must stop this. Do not side with our enemy. Join your people. Take up your birthright.
Felicia: Don't do this... I care about you and my work... This is the last thing I have ever wanted.
Klima: Felicia, please...
(Klima is defeated)
Klima: Tell me why you have not yet taken my life... I need the truth!
(After the battle, Corrin, Elise, Felicia/Jakob, and Silas stand around Flora and Klima)
Corrin: No lives were taken in this battle... Good... Elise, please attend to the injured on both sides.
Elise: Of course.
(Elise and Felicia/Jakob leave)
Klima: You ended the battle without a murder or brutality. What are you playing at?
Corrin: I don't want to hurt your people. They are innocent. You all are.
Klima: Even though we attacked you first...
Corrin: I want this day to mark a turning point for us all. I want us to be able to trust each other. I want to build a world where we can all live together peacefully.
Klima: A noble goal.
Corrin: Forgive me for what I am about to ask of you, Lord Klima. I know it is selfish, but I must ask all the same... Will you and your tribe halt your rebellion? In return, I will do all I can to give your people back their autonomy. I will not rest until you regain your freedoms.
Klima: You are full of surprises... You may count on our full cooperation.
Corrin: Thank you. You won't regret this.
Flora: Lord Corrin... Can you forgive me?
Corrin: You didn't even have to ask. Flora, would you join me from here on out?
Flora: I... I don't know...
Klima: Flora, you have great passion for your work under Lord Corrin. I understand that. The choice is yours. Choose what you think is best for your future.
Flora: ...I accept your proposal, Lord Corrin.
Corrin: Welcome to the team, Flora. We're glad to have you.
(Corrin and Flora approach Elise and Jakob/Felicia)
Corrin: We should return to the palace. Father may grow angry if we are out for too long. Lord Klima, I must thank you again.
Klima: Be safe in your travels.
Elise: What are we going to do about his wish for you to go alone?
Corrin: I'll come up with an excuse while we're on the way there.
Elise: I hope this turns out okay. I'm glad we've made peace with the Ice Tribe, but I feel bad about what Father is going to do.
Corrin: It's going to be fine, Elise. Don't you worry.
Elise: Alright. I trust you, Corrin.
(Elise, Flora, and Felicia/Jakob walk away)
Corrin: At the very least, I hope so...
