Chapter 1

Fate is really a strange thing, as it is set in stone for everyone. Nobody escapes his own fate not even gods or in our case immortals and demons.

Natsu was really tired. He had been fighting in the war against the Alvarez Empire for a week non - stop. Finding out that his own brother was none other than the infamous black wizard Zeref hit him hard, by hard I mean really really hard. His worldview was really affected by the revelation of this fact. Eventhen he continued to fight…..fight for and alongside his friends. With their help he had defeated the 'Black Dragon of Apocalypse' himself. He had defeated his father's murderer.

Let's return to the pinkhead's current predicament.

No one was there beside him. No one to help him win against the most dangerous foe. At this moment Natsu realized how dependent he was on his friend. Now you may be thinking along the lines 'Were all of his friend killed?'….'Who killed them?' Well the answers to these questions is very simple. No one had died, everyone was alive. But none of them where here. Why you ask. Well the answer is really simple again. Everyone had expended all of their energies to seal the body of Acnologia while the dragon slayers were fighting the soul of the dragon inside the 'Ravines of Time'. The battle as you can think was very arduous indeed. They barely managed to defeat the dragon by combining and giving their powers to Natsu who then proceeded to defeat the dragon. Everyone was completely worn out after that, but it escaped their minds that there was still a powerful foe left to defeat. But Natsu simply couldn't forget that. So instead of calling them out he himself went alone to fight against the black wizard.

Which was a big mistake.

"Is that all you can do Natsu."

The condensing tone of the black wizard echoed throughout the guild hall.

"Grrrrrrr"

The dragon slayer could only growl at his own weakness. He had spent all of his magic power.

"Natsu…"

The words were spoken by the first master of his guild.

"I had expected more. But I shouldn't complain seeing that you defeated Acnologia a feat that I never thought could be possible. You really exceeded my expectations. But still you couldn't slay me."

"Stop blabbering and kill me already as you have done to all those people throughout your life."

A frown appeared on the older brother's face.

"I see. I will grant you your wish."

"Please stop it Zeref."

The petite ex-guildmaster stood in his way.

"I know you don't want it Zeref. So please stop this madness. Your army has already been defeated, so there is no need for further violence."

Zeref stood there with an unreadable expression on his face.

Suddenly he appeared in front of Mavis and grabbed her draining the power of fairy heart into himself directly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" the girl screamed in exteme pain.

"First Master"

As soon as these words were spoken by the boy a sudden explosion took place shaking the entire guildhall. Suddenly the body of the first master was flew out from the smoke. He barely caught it in time before it hit the ground. After catching the body he gently laid it on the ground and looked towards the place from where it flew out.

The first thing he could feel was the immense pressure in the air. The magic felt as if it had no limit. He realized it soon that this was the power of the fairy heart.

"Power beyond the bounds of space and time. Power that surpasses the gods. This is what fairy heart is – a source of infinite power."

These words were spoken by the man infront of him. Zeref's appearance had changed…..no Zeref himself had changed. His hair had changed its color from its original black to a regal gold. Same had happened to his eyes. His clothes had changed too. And behind him there were two ethereal wings made out of pure magical energy.

The dragon slayer stood there with a gobsmacked expression. Zeref suddenly appeared infront him just as he was going to give him a piece of his mind.

"W-Wha-"

Before he could finish the word his chest was suddenly pierced by the hand of his brother.

"I'm sorry that this had to go down like this Natsu."

He pulled back his hand watching as the body of the dragon slayer fell on the cold floor with an audible thud.

He turned back towards the guild entrance as it was glowing opening a sort of a portal to the past.

'My life will change completely after I pass through these doors. I will kill Acnologia and slaughter all those dragons so that we can live as a happy family again Natsu.'

Just as he was about to walk towards the door a voice halted him.

"Wait"

It was the voice of his brother Natsu.

So he didn't die after all.

"You should not interrupt me Natsu. This door will change everything. All your friends will have a happy life, both you and me will be a happy family again."

He spoke to the pinkette without turning his head.

"What will happen to this world? What will happen to the bonds I forged with my friends?"

"They will simply disappear."

"Tch. I can't allow that to happen."

"What can you do with the state in which you're now."

"A lot."

The dragon slayer spoke with confidence.

Just as he was about to turn a body slammed against him tackling him away from the doors. They both wrestled for their own motivations. One wanted to undo his wrongdoing while the other prevented him from doing that. As they wrestled they didn't realize that they actually rolled towards the door. Natsu was the first one to realize their predicament. Soon Zeref realized it to. He had actually lost control of the portal as it shone a brilliant yellow instead of the white it was supposed to. Both couldn't control the movement of their bodies as they fell through the portal. The bright light soon faded away as soon as the brothers fell throught the doors.

In the middle of the guildhall the book of END dispersed into golden particles.
