Author's note: Sorry to the supporters of Zeref x Mavis. I personally thinks that Zeref never interested in Mavis romantically and vice versa.

Chapter 1:

It was a moonlit night. The moon shone brightly in the sky without any clouds to block it. At a desolate mountain area, high and no sign of villages or towns nearby, there stood a large group of strangely dressed humans with strange markings on their bodies. They formed a circle, with a huge fire in the middle, a cage was hanging just above the fire. In the cage, a decent number of young boys and girls inside. Still breathing, still alive. Yet despair seemed to have taken over them as they no longer struggle for their lives.

Suddenly, an old man of the group, who looked like a shaman of some kind, raised his voice, "Oh almighty Gods! Please accept our sacrifice to awaken the ultimate being to serve our lord, Zeref!" The rest of the group, started to dance around the fire in strange dance steps with whistles to launch the ritual.

"What are you all doing?" a voice of a young man making them halted their dance and their ritual. The shaman looked to the direction of the voice and without looking carefully at him, shouted, "How dare you intrude our sacred ritual!" The young man, now having a face full of rage, approached the shaman and said, "You better be prepared, or you will be sorry!"

A bright light appeared out of nowhere. The ritual groups all scattered and running for their lives. But before they can run any further, the bright light engulfed them, leaving no traces. The shaman was not spared at all. Then the bright light stopped. The young man looked surprised at this exchange. It seems that the bright light was not his doing.

The huge fire had died out during the bright light. The sacrifices in the cage succeeded in escaping from the area, leaving the cage empty. The young man just shrugged and as he was going to turn away, a body caught his sight. The body, laying in the middle of the fire area, still breathing but unconscious. The young man's face blushed a bit, as the body, a young girl in her late teens, was totally naked.

He quickly took off part of his clothing and wrapped them around the unconscious girl. Not knowing the area well, he was worried that some other beast in the mountains might get her if he left her there. "I guess I should bring her to some village for some shelter." Carried her in a bridal style, he slowly walked to the direction of the nearest town.

After successfully found an inn, he placed her gently on the bed. Then, he sat at the only chair in the room, he looked carefully at the girl's features. She has long silver hair, as long as herself. Her nose is sharp and high. She has puffy lips that can make any man desire to kiss it. Her chest is obviously huge, even after he covered it, he cannot help but notice the shape.

Looking away and trying to control himself, he decided to leave and he turned away. A voice made him stopped walking away. "Where am I?" He turned to the direction of the voice and saw that the girl was finally awake. Her eyes has a deep blue color that can make any man that looked at it to be lost in thought.

"You are unconscious in the middle of a sacrificial ritual. You are in a room of an inn." "Ritual?" "Ya. What's your name? Do you know where's your home?"

The girl looked like she was lost in thought. Then the young man open his mouth again, "Are you okay?"

"I... don't remember anything..." "Maybe you were in a huge shock. Your memories might come back in a few days."

"I don't... know my... name... who I am and what are all these."

Then the girl sit up from the bed, making the clothes that covered her body dropped to the floor, leaving her body naked. The young man turned to another direction while he blushes and cleared his throat, "It's okay. I should be going. You can ask for the innkeeper's help if you need anything."

"What's your name?" The girl asked the man curiously. The man turned around to her and answered, "I am Spr... No, my name is... Zeref."

Thinking that most people will fear him once he revealed his identity, he just looked at her without batting an eye. To his surprise, the girl flashed her sweetest smile and said, "Hi Zeref, nice to meet you."

Zeref face was red with blushed. He never felt like this before. Then, afraid that he might kill her with his power that awakened once he has a warmth feeling on his chest, he shut lock his own heart and turned away before he feel anything more.

The girl now stood up, walked to Zeref's back, poked his shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "Can you suggest a name for me? At least i got a name before i remember my memories."

Zeref turned back and look at her. She looked so innocent, so beautiful. "Luna."

"Luna?"

"I found you in a moonlit night. So I will call you Luna for the time being."

"Luna..." thinking to herself as though she is registering her name for the first time, then smiled at Zeref, "I like it!"

"I should go, Luna. I got some stuff to take care of." Zeref stuttered and walked to the door. "Will you come back?"

"Yes i will." he lied. Then Luna yawned, took a few steps to the bed, lay down flat without bother covering up. "Good night, Zeref."

"Good night Luna."

Closing the door behind him, he bit his lips and ran out from the inn as fast as he could. Why? Why does her smile made his heart ache so much? He knew that if he continue to linger around her, he will surely lose control and killed her.

After slowed down his pace, Zeref looked at the sky and thought, "What was i thinking, saving that girl?"

Little did he know that his broken heart had already changed that night.
