Before we start the story, I just wanna say thank you for the reviews, follows, and faves~! x3


Still Zeref's POV


...

...

...

I went to our favorite place, hoping to find her...

...

...

I did find her...

...

...

...

But then, what I found... is a lifeless grave.

...her grave.

...

...

Now, here I am, standing in front of her grave...

She's dead already, huh?

...

Why did she die?

How did she die?

I told her to wait for me! I promised her that I'll come back for her!

...

...

...

But then...

...there's one thing I forgot.

She's a human. A mortal. She doesn't have an eternal life like me...

...

...

She might've died of old age, then...?

It's not like... she'll kill herself or anything, is it? She values life... and love.

...

...


-Flashback-

(Hundreds of years ago, when both Zeref and Mavis were young...)

...

"...you know, if someone who I love dies, I might as well as just want to die."

"I love life... but, I also believe... that without love, life isn't like you're living at all."

"...maybe if I lose the ones precious to me... especially the one person who's very special to me... the very person that I love... I might as well as just kill myself... and hope to meet them somewhere on the afterlife."


-End of Flashback-

...

...

...

...no.

Mavis wouldn't kill herself... because of me... will she?

It's not what really happened, now is it?


Why does... the people I love have to die?

...

...

Mavis...

...


Having felt depression... and pain... I felt a sudden strong surge of power run through me...

And then...

All the living beings that were around me... died.

It seems like... my power had been sleeping.

As I had been on a slumber for so long, too.

I can't seem to remember how to control the evil within now.

But at least, I still know the value of human life...

...because of her.

...


As long as I can keep up like this...

I'm not gonna destroy the world...

As long as no one triggers my awakening...

this world will keep it's peace.

...


Mavis...

I promise...

I'll do my best... not to destroy your beloved earth.


I'll hold back.

I'll try as much as I can... to suppress my true dark powers from emerging.

I'll stay here... to always be reminded of you.

I'll be taking care of your grave... and your island... I'll be staying here at our favorite place... for as long as I can.
