I am sorry I didn't get to this new chapter I was publishing a story for a friend... anyway I hope you've beaten spirit tracks because this is the spoiler chapter that explains everything.
BYRNE:
I was greedy.
I only wanted power.
Until..
I was betrayed by the ones who promised me that power.
I was Staven...Now I'm Byrne and this is my story.
Cole was starting the ritual to resurrect mallidus while I merely watched in anticipation. I've waited decades for this moment. The moment I surpass the spirits!
"Byrne!" Cole yelled. "We've got company."
"Hmph I'll go greet our guests." I raised my gauntlet for emphases. Then stalked off.
"I see you fixed the spirit tracks. My congratulations." I said entering the room. "And you almost did it in time to prevent all this...Unfortunately for you mallidus has already begun the final stage of rebirth. His resurrection will soon be complete...and I can't let you cause any more harm."
"Hey that's what we were going to say!" Exclaimed Zelda in a phantoms body. "Right link?" She asked her green clad companion. "Well...Maybe we won't let you cause any more harm!"
"Hm hm." I chuckled. "I'll become just as powerful as the spirits. And anyone in my way will be eliminated...No matter who it is." I pulled up my gauntlet ready for battle.
Towards the end of the battle.
Zelda held on to my arms making it impossible to escape. Link then attacked from behind causing me to stagger. "Im-Impossible...Driven to my knees by two human children. I've trained longer than you could ever imagine!" I coughed. They started to talk but I ignored them and started to limp away from them into the other room
At the top of the tower I asked Cole "Was the resurrection successful?"
He sighed. "I'm very disappointed in you Byrne."
"What?! Why?"
"You couldn't beat a couple of little kids the size of me. But at least you bought us enough time."
A whirlwind of dark energy surrounded Zelda's true body and then stopped...Zelda's body opened it's eyes.
"Demon king mallidus. I was the one who broke the seal on you that has been put upon you for centuries. Grant me the power I've dreamed of."
Mallidus raised Zelda's hand. I sighed waiting for power...But something was wrong! A dark blast of energy knocked me flying into a pillar.
"Nyee hee hee!" Cole jeered. "We weren't going to give you anything! But thank you for saving me the trouble of finding a fool to free his majesty!" Cole paused and leaned in closer. "We didn't help you because you used to be a servant of those disgusting spirits!" I swiped at him only for him to dance out of reach. After an annoying speech on how 'great' the demon king was, Cole summoned the demon train and took off.
As I laid there my pride,honer , and hopes disappeared with the demon train. I lost consciousness realizing the error of my ways... And my lust for power would only get me killed.
Link was fighting mallidus later after he got the bow of light.
I saw Zelda's body rip Mallidus' soul from the body. Zelda then tried to get back into her body but... IT WOULDN'T WORK?!
Mallidus' soul charged for Zelda's body. I made my resolve and rushed forward and created a shadow barrier to block Mallidus from getting to Zelda's body. "Grrrt!" I grunted. (cue byrne's helping hand theme) "Focus on reclaiming your body! It is blessed with the sacred power of the spirits!" I grunted from the strain. "After all... Didn't you say you wanted to have words with me?"
She nodded and focused and prayed... She started to fall. I looked over to see the kid she was with and I shouted. "Go, GO NOW!" Before I could see the rest mallidus shot dark tendrils at me and started to take my life energy. "HRR AAAAAAAAARRRGHH!" I couldn't stand the pain! My last sight was of Link and Zelda they were looking at me with a sorrowful look on their face. "Hmph I leave this to you now Link." Feeling my life at it's end I looked at the sky for the last time.
I hope I made amendments for my sins... By sacrificing my life for those kids.
'Not yet' A voice said in my head. 'You have one more part to play in this world...
"SPIRITS?!" I thought
No reply... Instead...Music?
Wow that chapter was longer than I thought it would be. And awesomer than I thought.
Review please!
