Hey Guys, hope you all enjoy the story. I noticed there was only a few fics with Byrne and I was kind of disappointed. When I played Spirit Tracks, Byrne instantly became one of my favorite characters. He looked really mysterious, and the gauntlet on his arm looked badass! But even though he was a villain, I felt kind of bad him for after all the shit he had been through and was glad he decided to turn good and take link's side. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY KILLED SUCH AN AWESOME CHARACTER!!!! And Kira, if your reading this you've got nothing to worry about…The smut is minor and clean. ENJOY!!! XD

I DON'T OWN ZELDA…

"Why…How could he do this to me?"

Byrne cursed inwardly while gripping his wounded arm as he walked along the track trial of the lost woods. After Link and Zelda left for the final temple, he managed to sneak away from Anjean while she was praying to the spirits.

He didn't know how he managed to do it, seeing that he had 3 broken ribs, numerous cuts on his chest, and a large gash on his left arm that wouldn't seem to heal and was broken. It had been 2 days since he had taken a break, figuring the boy would end up coming after him once he found out he had escaped.

"Hn, they shouldn't even be called spirits; more like ungrateful bastards." He groaned in pain nearly tripping over a rock. After another ten minutes of walking, his legs finally gave in from exhaustion and he collapsed on his side against the dirt trial.

"I did everything they asked and fought for them and this is my reward…A meaningless and painful death." He couldn't help but chuckle as he turned over to lie on his back and stare at the sky.

"Maybe this is for the best…I betrayed Anjean and the other lokomos; plus the Demon king wouldn't even accept me…It seems I belong nowhere in this world."

He groaned in pain again as the bloody gash on his arm throbbed, and then turned his head to the side to let out a hard cough; only to notice a small patch of golden flowers not too far from him. He reached out and gently touched the petals of one with his clawed fingers; allowing a small smile to form on his cloth covered lips.

"Its times like these I wish I could grow stronger and stronger like your kind do everyday…" he sighed softly, then yawned as he felt his eyelids begin to grow heavy.

"Maybe dying won't be so bad after all. The boy should be able to handle Malladus and Cole once he gets the Bow of light. And I'm sure Anjean will find another apprentice sooner or later; they don't need me anymore…"

Smiling once more, His eyes fully closed and his arm fell to the ground next to the flowers softly.

"Now I can finally…Rest…"


"Man, can't a girl take a walk in peace?" a dark haired woman in a Keaton mask growled very irritated as she jumped from tree to tree; an angry mothula hot on her tail. The giant insect let out an ear pounding screech, then released a large toxic bubble toward her; which she dodged with ease.

"Oh to hell with this!" The woman quickly turned around and pulled out a small dagger from her cloak pocket and skillfully launched it at its large eye.

With a cry of pain the large insect fell to the forest floor and slowly began to fade away. The woman jumped to the ground and walked up to the overgrown bug while removing the Keaton mask from her face. A pair of crimson eyes glared down at it while she smirked.

"May you burn in hell my friend; no one messes with Retsu of the Lone wolves and gets away with it." She murmured as she walked away.

She continued walking, only to lean against large tree and pull out a small material bag full of red berries. She took a few in her hand and tossed them one by one in her mouth, while looking up at the sky.

"I swear the things I do for you sis…You better appreciate this or im seriously going to sic a wolfo on you."

After eating, she resumed walking and turning on different paths; but stopped when she was near the exit.

"Oh crap, I forgot to check the flowers!" She smacked her face with a hand, then turned around and began to sprint back the way she came.

"Man, she's going to kill me if I come home late again or worse; she'll end up sending the Wolfos on me! And I can't have tha-What the hell?"

Retsu immediately broke away from her thoughts and stopped in her tracks when her eyes were welcomed by the presence of someone lying beside her small garden.

"Hey excuse me, sir?" She called out.

No movement

She slowly walked near the body, and then gasped noticing that parts of his body were covered in blood and deep cuts. She ran up to him and dropped to her knees; slowly putting her head to his chest and a hand to his bandana covered neck.

"He's still breathing…"She sighed with relief and pulled herself from his chest; then carefully began to do a small check up on his body.

"He's lost a lot of blood, looks like he has some broken bones too…And he's so cold. I wonder who did this to him."

When she finished with her inspection, she reached over and pulled his pony tail upward, causing his head to look up at her; still passed out of course.

"Your one lucky fellow" She replied the released his hair as if not interested anymore and allowed his head to hit the dirt. That's when she noticed his Mechanical arm laying amongst the flowers. She gently picked it up and allowed a small smile to form on her lips when she found a small golden flower stuck between his sharp clawed fingers. She softly pulled it loose, and then set it behind her ear.

"Your one lucky fellow indeed."

Without a moment to spare, she grabbed both of Byrne's arms and pulled his upper body up as gently as possible to not cause further pain. She turned around and set both the arms over her shoulders, then pulled both his legs around her waist. After she made sure he was securely on her back, she looked to the sky once more then began to jog back towards the exit.

"Very lucky indeed, he would have been Skulltula food if I hadn't showed up or even possibly could have died over night from hypothermia. Oh well, I better get home fast or we'll both end up Spider food." She groaned at the thought then began to jog faster as the once blue sky began to turn orange.


"Why do I feel so…warm…am I dead?"

Byrne cracked his eyes open slightly, noticing he was no longer surrounded by trees and dirt, but bright sun light and fast moving objects; which caused him to shut his eyes tightly and bury his face further in the unexpected warmth.

Thoughts of who had saved soon filled his head. His first thought was Link and Zelda but he soon discarded that from his head since there was no way they would be able to carry him at such a speed. But he soon figured it had to be a woman when he felt the soft fabric resting against his skin.

"I'm getting blood on her…" He thought guiltily and he wondered why he would care about something as stupid as that.

She smelt nice, and those golden flowers he had saw earlier were the first to come to mind; they had shared the exact same scent, which he still couldn't figure out what it was yet.

Before he could think anything else, he felt himself start to slip out of consciousness again and he didn't fight it. He inhaled deeply, letting the wonderful fragrance fall over him and he knew full well that his life rested in the hands of the sweet smelling lady.

Retsu Turned her head back when she felt him try and press deeper in the side of her neck and inhale deeply. She smiled then turned to face the trail again, increasing her speed.

"This should be interesting."
