Plot
- Main article:
Black Flames/Script - The below plot corresponds to the use of a female Corrin. If you refresh this page, it is possible to get an alternate reading using a male variation instead.
The sudden appearance of Iago and his army shocks Corrin, yet Azura states that, if they flee, they may never get another chance to enter the Bottomless Canyon. Ryoma reassures Corrin that they can defeat the army, and calls on her to cast off her worries and fight on. The group begins yet another battle.
As even more reinforcements appear, Corrin once again doubts her plight. Suddenly, Xander and Leo come to her aid, with Leo taking pleasure in the thought of removing Iago. Corrin asks them why they changed their mind, only for Xander to dismiss it and rally them to keep moving forward. Iago is disgruntled at the two's defection, though he still intends to complete Garon's mission regardless. Later on, Odin, Niles, Laslow and Peri catch up to their lieges, with Peri berating the others for being slow. Leo and Xander introduce the four as their retainers.
Once Iago and his troops are slain, Elise and Camilla celebrate having the entire royal family together again. Leo begins to patronize the Hoshidan family, only for Xander to urge him not to think in terms of "us" and "them". Leo quickly apologizes, and then Xander tells Corrin of Garon's madness. Leo remarks on Corrin's words in Izumo—that he believed that Garon had changed—and that he hadn't taken them to heart until having seen it for himself. He then apologizes for calling Corrin a traitor, and she forgives him. Xander states that, in his current state, Garon is a threat to Nohr itself, and that it is in his best interest to follow Corrin. With that, Ryoma proposes a truce between Nohr and Hoshido, remarking on his and Xander's similar end goals. Xander accepts his truce, to the surprise of Takumi. Leo taunts him once again, with Camilla calling on him to stop. Azura commends Corrin for her decision, and she thanks them all for cooperating. Azura urges for them to all go to the Bottomless Canyon so that she can finally explain her motives.
Summary
Ryoma and his party unite with Corrin, but a powerful Nohrian army is ready to stop them before they can advance any farther.
