Zera and August heard the cry, sitting down in their hidden cabin in the woods. They both jumped up at the noise, aware that it was a dangerous creature and knowing that someone had to stop him. Acnologia was here, coming to destroy what remained of the dragon slayers. While not all of them were present in Storybrooke, the majority were and that meant that there would be problems in the future for this town.

August stared over at her, looking grave as he rose and moved towards the door. "Shall we be going? Power such as his cannot be destroyed through normal means. I believe I am best suited to holding him off until we find a more definitive plan." he stated. Zera glared at him, shaking her head in refusal.

"No way! If Acnologia destroys you, who will be here to free Mavis and Zeref? I need both you and Emma to do that, two children with pure hearts that were born of true love. Two children capable of absorbing Fairy Heart from Mavis and controlling it themselves." Zera declared, while August frowned.

"Indeed, though we are still missing a vital element to your plan. Irene must be present to transfer that magic to us, as your own power was stripped for your actions long ago." he argued, watching as Zera fidgeted uncomfortably at his words. "As much as you dislike it, Zera, you cannot deny the truth. Our plan is flawed, there is little chance of success in the end. Acnologia is the more pressing matter, the one who will destroy everyone in this town, including Zeref and Mavis. We must stop him first, before worrying about the cursed lovers." August explained.

Zera nodded weakly, wishing things could be different. August was always correct with things like this, taking after his mother's brilliant mind with strategies. She let him teleport them to the center of town, where they gazed upward to see a massive black dragon in the sky, landing before them and losing its monstrous form. After it gave out its roar, Zera realized he had no intention of staying in that form for long. Acnologia was the only dragon slayer capable of reverting back into their human form at will, making him a very dangerous foe to face.

August stood ready in front of the man they now faced, who smirked at them. "Looks like my welcome party has already arrived. A wingless fairy and a pathetic excuse for a human, can't this town do anything better for its new king?" Acnologia asked, taunting them as Zera nervously backed away, hiding behind August. She hated her shyness, but she couldn't help it. Acnologia was even more terrifying than a normal stranger, she couldn't' stand being visible around him.

"Perhaps not as pathetic as I may seem. My age may be high, but I still have a fighting spirit that could hold you off long enough for my emperor to destroy you." August stated, while Acnologia continued smirking at him, clearly overconfident with his own ability.

"Is that so? Well, it seems you are a bit braver than most, challenging me to a battle." Acnologia stated, as the breeze blew his cape back slightly. Zera noticed when it flew back that he had no left arm, that the entire limb was missing from his body. August noticed this as well, though he did not comment on it.

Zera, however, couldn't stay silent about something so clearly dangerous to the man before her. "Your arm….what happened to it?" she asked. Even if this man was their enemy, her curiosity got the better of her. Mavis' personality had rubbed off on her, making her want to learn as much as she could about others and the world around her.

Acnologia's smirk faded, turning into a scowl as he glared at Zera. "Puny fairy, there isn't even an ounce of magic in your body, yet you think you are fit to speak to me? Do not meddle in my affairs, you are nothing before the might of my power!" Acnologia declared, raising his arm as a massive wind blew forward towards Zera. She flew backwards, colliding with the wall of the library behind her and collapsing on the ground. She was hurt, but she was still awake and alive, able to see the group of people rushing out from the door underneath the clock tower.

"Acnologia, it has been quite some time. Have you enjoyed your trip to this new realm so far?" Zeref asked, catching Zera's attention. She had not seen him since he had first arrived in this town. Something seemed different about him now, though, a light that had been missing was now visible in his gaze. Frowning, Zera tried to determine the source of this when she spotted the mark on his hand, a dark red fairy that Mavis had always enjoyed drawing in her free time. That mark gave him the ability to see Mavis, and with that in mind, Zera knew just what had caused this change in Zeref. Only one person was capable of transforming his morbid moods into one that could aid them all.

Acnologia turned towards Zeref, acknowledging his presence more so than he ever did with August and Zera. "Ah, the Black Wizard. I thought you had something to do with this, though I can't say I'm all that pleased. You promised me that I would have my chance, if I waited. You promised me chaos and destruction, and it seems that you've failed to deliver." he argued. Zeref gazed at him with an empty expression, calm as ever as he assessed the situation.

"Perhaps I can bring that to you now, in this town. I am seeking out the power necessary at the moment to create something far stronger, more powerful, than I have ever created before. I believe it may ultimately be stronger than you when complete, Black Dragon." Zeref stated, watching Acnologia glare at the Black Wizard in response.

Acnologia did not seem pleased at the idea of no longer being the strongest person around. "I will not allow that to happen!" he declared, rushing forward towards Zeref. The Black Wizard frowned slightly, before a wave of black magic burst from his hand and collided with Acnologia. The man in front of them shocked them all, however, when he opened his mouth and began to swallow the spell.

"Consider this a demonstration to those of you unfamiliar with our land. Magic has no effect on someone like Acnologia, it only serves to strengthen his own power. If you wish to start a war with him, you need to find other methods of defeating him." Zeref stated, turning slightly towards the people behind him. Zera was surprised to see that he was with Gold, Regina, and David. The group seemed like a strange team of heroes to her, but if they were helping out, she would not object in any way.

Acnologia glared at him, clearly not pleased with Zeref's actions. "So….he's a shadow dragon slayer like Rogue?" Natsu stated, noticing that he had eaten darkness. Zeref glanced over at Natsu, shaking his head in disagreement towards the boy.

"Dragon slayer? What on earth are you two talking about? I've never heard of such a ridiculous title, dragons are typically peaceful unless you anger them." Regina stated, thinking about Maleficent and the other few dragons that roamed the enchanted forest.

Zera glanced over at them nervously, wondering if she should intervene or not. They seemed to have a rather tense peace among them for now, though based on the fact that Zeref held the Dark One's dagger, she did not think it would last for long. "Magic is quite different in my land, people are not quite so afraid of it as they are in Misthaven. Dragon slaying magic is what developed during the war with the dragons, our method of destroying them. The result is what you see before you, a man who was once human, fighting for his own kind, until he himself became one of the monsters he sought to destroy. Acnologia is no normal dragon slayer, Natsu, he is master of all elements. Not even your magic can harm him, at least, not yet." Zeref stated, looking thoughtfully down at a book in his hand.

"No….you know what will happen if you use that, my lord. You cannot awaken END, the demon will desire nothing but your own blood and destruction!" August begged, watching as Zeref held his head low, before turning it upwards to Acnologia, who seemed to be waiting for the only person who truly stood a chance against him in battle.

Staring each other down, Zeref and Acnologia seemed to have a silent tension between them, one that had grown for centuries. "END may be our only option, if I can direct his rage appropriately. For now, though, I do have a plan. You see, I've learned something about you today, Black Dragon, something that made me realize just how you gained so much power so quickly." Zeref stated, watching as Acnologia scowled, already aware of the source of his magic. "Hiro gave it to you, didn't he? Such a meddlesome man, always seeking to fight back against fate. Luckily, he has found someone of like mind, though this one seeks to do the opposite. Rather than darken our story, he seeks to bring light to it. Let us see if such a thing is possible, after so many years of our darkness counterbalancing the light of Misthaven's tales."

Acnologia gave out a confident, haughty laugh at Zeref's words. "An Author? Hiro attempted to destroy me and failed, I am immune even to his magic. I shall let you live long enough to create this powerful demon of yours, simply to amuse myself for a few moments longer with this world. Even if an Author aids you, this creature you make will not be able to defeat me." he taunted, while Zeref simply smiled up at Acnologia.

"Ah, but there is one flaw in your perception of the world, in how this works in the end. You see, the Author does not utilize magic. Their power is different, something even I cannot begin to comprehend how to use fully. In order to be an Author, one must utilize the power of belief, and sadly, I am lacking too much in belief after years of seeing nothing but sorrow." Zeref stated ominously, watching as Acnologia snorted and turned away, walking off without another word. This was not over, not by a long shot, but Zeref had done the best any of them could do. They had time now, time to finalize the plan Zeref and Henry had set into motion. With his help, along with all of Fairy Tail, the Spriggan Twelve, and the citizens of Storybrooke, they would find a way to ensure Acnologia fell and never returned again.

(Many years ago, in the Enchanted Forest)

Zera was horrified by her actions, unable to move as Zeref dropped Mavis in front of her, an empty look on his face. She knew he was normally withdrawn, that he kept his emotions hidden, but this took that to a new level. His face was empty, not a hint of sadness or anger in his eyes as he dropped Mavis' body like it was nothing at Zera's feet, having removed her from the pool where the crystal remained, now lacking its former power.

"You may have her body, I have no use for it, after all. It is time I returned to my work….I have heard rumors of a weapon in these lands that just might do what I desire." Zeref had stated, while Zera stared at him in horror as he left her alone in the cavern, unsure of what to do.

She reached out towards him, wishing she could help somehow. "Wait…she isn't dead yet, I'm sure I can save her!" Zera pleaded, hoping to bring back the little light she had seen in him briefly before. It was what made her want to help him, that small light flickering deep in his heart that had been swarmed in darkness. Most of that darkness was his curse, but it slowly ate away at whatever goodness was left in him. If she could keep that alive, if she could bring him back to that path, it would all be worth it. Plus, Mavis was the first person to see her as a friend, the only person to see her as worthy of having a unique name, beyond a simple color. Orange had been lovely, but Zera had been personal, a name gifted to her as if Mavis wished the fairy were her own daughter.

Zeref stopped gazing out into the night sky at the exit of the cave. "I have no need for her, if you wish to save her, so be it. My goals are far too dark for someone with so much light in them. She would simply get in my way. It took me far longer than it should have to see it, to see that this was the best option for both of us." he stated, walking out without another word, leaving Zera alone with Mavis' body and the crystal.

Unable to help herself, the fairy sat on the floor, cradling Mavis' body just as Zeref had, as she sobbed miserably, wondering what to do. Mavis was alive, but just barely, as if the magic she had absorbed was doing everything it could to save her life. Still, it would not last forever, not unless she did something about it. She could not solve this on her own, she needed the help of someone else, perhaps the help of the other fairies.

This was what lead to her bringing Mavis' body to Blue, into the headquarters where all fairies lived. Zera didn't like coming here too often, it got crowded pretty quickly with all the traffic from dust fairies and fairy godmothers coming and going from the Enchanted Forest. "Orange, I see you've finally—who is that?" Blue stated, turning around only to stare in surprise at the human she had brought inside.

"I know, it isn't allowed, but I couldn't help myself. I promised I would help them, and I did my best, but…she's dying. I can't save her, I don't know what to do!" Zera begged, watching as Blue shook her head at Orange, sighing as she flew closer to her. Zera had returned to her smaller fairy form for this trip, and she had been forced to use her dust to shrink Mavis as well, but it was still obvious she was not one of them.

"Slow down, I understand the urgency of this matter, but I cannot help unless I know what the problem is. Here, I shall take a look at her and see what I can find." Blue stated, managing to calm Zera only slightly. She watched Blue drift down towards Mavis' body, her eyes closed as her wand waved over Mavis to sense for magic or other harmful effects within her. "I have never felt anything like this….it is almost as if…." Blue began, turning towards Zera with a stern expression on her face. "What did you do with Lumen Histoire, our greatest treasure?" she demanded.

Zera did her best to make herself look smaller, afraid of what Blue would do to her. "She…she was cursed….I thought that true love, ancient and powerful love like theirs….I thought it might…." she muttered, stuttering as she tried to explain herself. Blue shook her head at Zera, flying back to her normal resting place among the flowers behind her.

Blue gazed at her sadly now, shaking her head as she held her wand in her hands. "That magic was a precious gift to us, you had no right to use it in this manner. Lumen Histoire was never meant to be passed on into a mortal body, it overwhelms any it touches and will ultimately destroy them. You were lucky you found a way to seal away that power, but even so, the seal itself is dark in nature and will ultimately kill her. I'm afraid that there is only one thing that can be done for her now, only one way to preserve her life until we understand more about what happened." Blue stated, making Zera wonder just what Blue was going to do.

"Come, we must bring her back to where this all began." Blue ordered, flying out of their home with Zera at her side, helping to bring Mavis with them. With flight, it did not take them long to reach the cave once more, where the massive crystal stood in the pool of water. "This crystal is of a material similar to diamond. It is designed to contain massive amounts of magical power, the only thing capable of containing the unlimited magic this child now possesses." Blue explained.

Zera glanced up in surprise, not expecting this. "Unlimited? That's….well, never mind. I guess I've seen a lot of impossible things lately." Zera stated, about to object before thinking about the curse in general. Magic such as that should not exist in the world, yet it was here. Something dark enough to corrupt even true love, it was almost unfathomable. She had yet to figure out how to explain that one to Blue; she was still waiting for her punishment for what she did to their greatest treasure.

"Orange, I will not be capable of this on my own. This is your final task, once this is done, you have shown that you cannot be trusted with your powers. Even when trying to do good, you only betray your own kind. Fix this mistake you have made, and face the fact that you were never meant to be a fairy." Blue ordered, making Zera stare at her with a sinking feeling in her heart. She was going to lose her wings, to lose her magic. It was more than she could bear, she couldn't lose all of that right now. Glancing down at Mavis, Zera began to change her mind, though. Mavis had suffered even more in life. If this was the only way to give her peace, it would be worth it in the end.

Just as they were about to begin, Blue stopped, staring at Mavis with a look of shock on her face. "Wait! Stop, do not begin the binding spell." Blue ordered, just as they were about to merge Mavis into the crystal. "This is worse than I thought…we have no choice but to wait and hope she survives long enough." she commented.

Zera stared at her in confusion, wondering just what Blue was talking about. "Wait? We need to save her life now! Mavis is my friend, I don't care if you take away my wings and my magic, I am going to save her!" she declared, only for Blue to grab Zera's hands to stop her.

"Orange, please, I beg of you, do not do this. She is with child, if we bind her to the crystal now, her child will perish immediately." Blue stated, making Zera stare at Blue in shock. Mavis….was pregnant? That just couldn't be….then again, she was much older than she appeared. She was also quite close with Zeref…..oh no, it was true! Staring down at Mavis, Zera knew she could not destroy this life growing within her. Mavis would not want more death to occur, not when it could be prevented.

She knelt down on the ground by Mavis, taking a deep breath as she nodded, grabbing Mavis' hand. "I didn't know…I don't think either of them knew either…." Zera stated quietly, wishing she could give either of them the good news. Zeref was gone, though, in search of his dark quest that was a mystery to even her. Mavis couldn't be reached for obvious reasons, and that meant that when this child was born, it would be completely alone in the world.

"Orange, just what did you seek to help her with? I sense a darkness deep within her, a darkness that rivals the strength of the light magic now held within her heart." Blue asked, while Zera gazed at Mavis sadly, glancing up at Blue. She didn't want to explain this to her, she had no right to do so if she refused to help.

Then again, she wouldn't have access to magic after this, after Mavis was saved. "Promise me you'll help, if I tell you. Let me at least keep my magic long enough to go to her land, to learn everything I can about her curse to try and save her! As soon as I've learned the cure….or accepted that one does not exist….then you can have my wings." Zera pleaded, gazing up at Blue sadly.

The elder fairy hesitated, staring into Zera's eyes thoughtfully before nodding slowly in agreement. "They called it the Curse of Contradictions, and she was not the only one cursed with it. She just happened to be the first one to try my method of ending it….and I think I only made things worse." Zera began, sniffling slightly. With Blue's comfort and quiet urging her on, Zera continued telling her about the curse, and about how she met Mavis and Zeref. The tale of the jet-black boy and bare foot girl, always together and keeping light in each others' lives, regardless of how hopeless things had seemed for both of them.

This was what lead to Blue and Zera secretly watching over Mavis' body for the next nine months, waiting for the child to be born. The ogres' war grew stronger during this time, the draft causing an even greater need for their light to be spread around the world. Even so, they could do little to help those suffering over the loss of loved ones who died in the battle. Just before Mavis' child was born, however, the war ended suddenly. Zera had heard that Zeref made good on his promise to Zoso, finding a man desperate enough to do anything to gain power. A new Dark One had risen, one with a hatred for the ogres' war. It took him only one day to end the entire thing, showing just how strong dark magic could be, if you were willing to pay the price.

The child was born not long after, in the month of August on a hot summer day. A beautiful boy, which Zera took in her arms immediately. He looked so much like Mavis, with her blond hair and green eyes. His facial features were a bit more like Zeref's though, making Zera see that this truly was their child. "Zera, this child will be your responsibility. You have made saving these cursed lovers your mission, thus it is your duty to look after the child that has lost his parents to this darkness." Blue ordered, while Zera nodded. It would be the least she could do, after everything Mavis had done for her. Without the creativity Mavis possessed, the child ended up with a simple name, named for the month he was born in. Mavis could give him a new one when she woke back up, Zera decided as they bound her body within the crystal. She was still alive, and now bound to the crystal, her curse and magical power would be nullified by the container around her. If she chose to, Blue thought she might even be able to utilize small amounts of magic, even in her current state.

After the birth of August, Zera threw herself into research, desperate to find a way to get past the ward Zeref had placed on their land. He had told her of it, yet she had never intended on breaking through. She needed their knowledge of magic to combine with her own, to help her save them. After many years of searching, she determined just what may hold the key. Zeref always had a soft spot for Mavis, perhaps her body was still capable of passing through the ward. It was the only plan she had, so with the child, crystal, and a massive amount of fairy dust in tow, Zera left for Fiore, where she soon discovered the ward parting for Mavis as they passed through. It was about time for Mavis to return home, anyway, to the guild she had always talked so brightly about to her. Fairy Tail deserved to be Mavis' true resting place, the place where she was happier than any other on the planet. Leaving the crystal hidden underneath the guild, Zera left silently with August, not wanting to be found. She would take the son of her friends and raise him, while searching for a way to save them both. One day, she would have an answer, and then, she would free Mavis from the fate she had given to her friend.

(Today, in Storybrooke)

Henry had one goal in mind after hearing Acnologia's roar, and that was to get the book so he could help Zeref stop this from happening. It was the key to ending the dragon, he knew it had to be. Zeref would hold the ability to destroy the demon if it grew to be a problem, while none of them were strong enough to defeat Acnologia if he decided to attack.

The house was huge, not surprising considering the size of it from outside. Henry quickly began moving through the halls, opening doors to try and find a library or anything that looked like it might contain a book within. He saw bedrooms, a kitchen, even a massive ball room, but no library yet. It had to be here, though, he just needed to figure out where it was.

He heard people following him, but he didn't bother looking back to see who it was. He knew Emma and Hook wouldn't understand, just like all the other adults in this town. None of them saw Zeref like he did, no one realized he wasn't a bad guy like they all thought. Finally, Henry stopped when he opened a door that lead to a massive library. "Whoa." Henry stated in shock, gazing around as he stepped inside, setting his book down as he began walking among the books. He pulled one out at random, opening it up only to discover nothing but blank pages within. This was exactly what Zeref had asked for, and he had found it without even trying. He wondered if all these books were blank, or if some of them contained stories about other realms. One day, Henry would return to figure out just what it was.

"Henry! Get back here and start explaining what the hell that was! I know you are up to something, kid, and I'm not about to let you keep secrets from me again." Emma demanded, finally catching up with him. Henry glanced over at her guiltily, holding both books in front of him as she glare at him. She was still tied to Hook, who looked a bit irritated after being dragged around by Emma.

"Dammit, Swan, couldn't you have slowed down for two seconds? I'm a bit older than I look, I'm not quite as fast as I used to be." he complained, while Emma ignored him.

Glancing at his mother, Henry realized he could no longer keep his mission a secret. "If you had listened to me earlier, you would have already known what that was. Acnologia is here, and I have to get this book to Zeref so we can stop him." Henry stated, trying to rush past them only for Emma to grab his shoulders and hold him back, preventing his escape.

"No way, that guy is dangerous. You've seen what he can do, kid, I'm not letting you get involved in this one." Emma told him, while Henry sighed. She didn't understand, he was necessary for this plan to work.

Hook seemed to be helping her as well, his hand grabbing Henry's other shoulder to pull him back into the room. "Listen to your mother, kid, a battle like this will only end in bloodshed. You are far too young to see something like that." he stated, but Henry glared at them in anger, about to yell at them when a cloud of smoke appeared behind them, a group of people now gathered in the library.

"Regina? David? What are you doing here? Wait is that—" Emma began, staring at everyone inside. Henry turned around, seeing all of them there, including Zeref, Zera, August, Lucy, and Natsu as well.

"Zeref, I got the book! Just tell me what to do, I'll help you—" Henry began, but Zeref shook his head, silencing the child.

"Not yet, I have bought us some time with Acnologia for the time being. I have piqued his interest, and now, Mavis tells me I should provide you with a warning. You have become a prime target of Acnologia, it is best to keep your power hidden for as long as possible." Zeref stated, turning towards Lucy with a nod.

"I still don't get why I'm doing all of this…" she mumbled, picking up a book from one of the shelves, which Zeref quickly grabbed. His eyes closed briefly, and after a few moments, color exploded on the pages within, an exact replica of the book Henry carried with him.

"For all intents and purposes, you are the Author, Lucy Heartfilia. Be careful what you write in those pages, that book is far more powerful than you think." Zeref stated, leaving it in her grip as he turned towards Henry, reaching out for the blank book he carried.

"No, stay back. I don't trust him, or any of these strangers in town. For all I know, they could all just be looking for a way to destroy us all." Emma stated, holding her son close to her body.

Zeref glanced at them, frowning slightly. "Invel was here? Well, I suppose I haven't been keeping a close watch on any of my generals. Even August surprised me, tell me, have you enjoyed your time with the former fairy by your side?" Zeref asked, watching as August nodded, staying rather quiet in the presence of both Zera and Zeref.

"Zeref, there is something both you and Mavis need to know. I have found a way to contain it, the power within Mavis. I may not be able to transfer it back to the crystal, but if you lend me Irene's power, I can transfer it to another person." Zera stated, while Zeref frowned, glancing over at her.

"This is not the time, nor is it the place to focus on such matters. Besides, Mavis would not wish for her curse to be pushed off on anyone else." Zeref argued, glancing over at a space that remained empty. Henry assumed this was where Mavis stood, that Zeref was sensing her presence once more.

Staring closer at him, Henry noticed the mark on Zeref's hand, that he could actually see Mavis now. "No, you need to hear this now! I found it, Zeref, the one thing capable of controlling that much magic power, that much light. Mavis could not do it due to the darkness of the curse in her heart. Only those with pure hearts, filled with light and love rather than contradiction, can control Fairy Heart. August and Emma….they can free you, if you just give me another chance!" Zera begged, watching as Zeref turned towards her, looking rather upset as his eyes flashed red briefly.

"Don't! She just wants to help, listen to her! Emma and August are special, I know you sense it within them. They are both the product of true love, born of pure love and containing that magic in its truest form. Combined with Fairy Heart, it will be strong enough to burn away even the darkest of curses, even one that corrupts love itself." Henry argued, watching as Zeref put a hand to his head for a moment, stepping back with a slow nod, looking somewhat grateful as he glanced over at Henry.

"Henry, bring her here. If we are to fight in a war, I believe we would be better off with a strategist on our side." Zeref stated, Henry grinned at Zeref, nodding as he pulled out his pen and began to write again in his book. Irene will arrive at the Sorcerer's mansion, to aid her emperor in his mission. Within seconds, Irene appeared before them, kneeling before Zeref as she gazed upward at her ruler.

"Is this really necessary? You claim to be immortal, just as I am, use it to your advantage and simply kill this dragon on your own." Gold argued, trying to figure out what Zeref had in mind.

Turning towards the Dark One Zeref shook his head. "Things are not quite as simple as they seem. Acnologia has eternal life, and in dragon form, he is nearly invincible to all forms of physical attack. Dragon slaying magic was the only thing capable of destroying one of them, and Acnologia is immune to such attacks. There is only one method no one has tried to use against him, simply due to the dangers of it. Have you ever heard of the realm of Etherious?" Zeref asked, turning towards Gold.

Hook looked grave, his face darkening at the very mention of that place. Gold did not react that way, though, simply frowning in confusion. "The crocodile may not be aware of that place, but I sure am. Pirates told tales of a realm where nothing but darkness and war existed, places not even the dead would dare to venture." Hook stated.

Zeref smiled at him grimly, his head looking rather intrigued. It was time he showed them just who he was, what he was truly capable of. This town was the first to begin to accept him, even with his curse, and if that was the case, he would not let it be destroyed. "I am impressed, I had thought it had been forgotten after all these years. You see, I've been there before, and I've learned from what I saw there. Few can claim to have survived meeting a demon, and I am the only person alive who can lay claim to having created one. With Henry's help, I shall create my most powerful Etherious yet, one capable of destroying Acnologia and saving your little town."

Right now, this is my favorite story to write! I'm getting excited for the main conflict arising. Special thank you to FairySinGirl for all of your support. Getting your feedback on every chapter keeps me eager to write more!
