So, this isn't a new chapter (sorry). This is a rewritten version of chapters one through five. I'll be talking more about this at the end of the chapter.


The Fairytail guild hall was as hectic as usual. Gray was fighting Natsu, and Erza's attempt to stay out of the brawl was about to come to an end, seeing as how she had been hit in the face by a table. However, just as the redhead had stood up, Levy, Jet, and Droy, hurried through the doors of the guild hall.

"Everyone! Look what we got from our job!" Levy said, her eyes glimmering with excitement.

Practically everyone swarmed Levy, it wasn't so often that she was this excited. They watched as Levy pulled out a large old book from her bag and delicately placed it on one of the tables.

"It's a book," Natsu said, giving Levy a look that oozed disappointment.

"Don't be rude!" Lucy whispered, smacking the pinkett's arm. "So. . ." Lucy started, turning her attention to Levy. "What's it about?"

"I don't know yet!" Levy said, the anticipation practically rolling off of her.

"Then why'd you call us over here as if it was the most important thing in the world?" Gray questioned.

"I wanted to open it with you guys!" Levy exclaimed, smiling. "I mean, something this old is such a rare find!"

Erza smiled warmly at the kind gesture.

Levy seemingly couldn't take the wait any longer and flipped open the musty book. She quickly skimmed it and Lucy sighed in disappointment as she watched. "It's not even a finished book."

"That's a let down," Happy said, dispirited.

"No, it's not," Levy countered. "According to our employer, this book was written by an ancient wizard. However, he was unable to finish writing it because our employer's ancestor stole it."

"Which ancient wizard was it?" Erza asked.

"I don't know. Neither did my employer. The wizard never had a chance to put his name on it." Levy explained. "But that doesn't matter, ancient books like these can have very interesting information. I figured you'd guys would want to see if it was a really good find. Now, let's find out, shall we?"

Without waiting for an answer, Levy pulled her wind-reader glasses out of her bag and put them on; she quickly got absorbed in the reading.

After a minute, Lucy asked, "What does it say?"

"Well it appears to be a spell," Levy said thoughtfully.

"No way! The whole book?!" Natsu asked in disbelief.

"Of course not, idiot," Gray scoffed.

Natsu growled at him.

"So, anyway, what can it do?" Erza inquired.

"Well, I think it's some sort of teleportation spell," Levy said carefully. "It is in our language, but it's written in an older tongue that's kind of choppy- Wait! Here! It says here that it can switch places with anyone of your choosing!"

A devilish grin spread across Happy and Natsu's faces. "That would be such an awesome prank!"

Lucy facepalmed, groaning, "Don't be idiots!"

Levy giggled, but continued along. "It seems like the spell is finished, but the explanation and possible complications are missing."

"So. . . what does that mean?" asked Gajeel, confused.

"It means that the effects of the spell are unknown. It doesn't say what the range of the spell is, how you choose who to switch with, or anything else," Levy explained.

"That is important," Erza agreed.

Natsu picked up the book and looked at carefully before grinning again. "Whatever! I still think it would make an awesome prank!"

Lucy snatched the book out of his hands and held it tightly to her chest. "Were you even listening?! The spell could be dangerous!"

"Yeah, yeah," Natsu grumbled.

"Do you think the spell will even work?" Wendy asked.

"Hmm, I don't know," Levy said honestly.

"Well, how could it be dangerous then?" Gajeel asked. "I mean if it's just a teleportation spell, the worst that'll happen is someone getting lost and that we might have to beat up the person who appears here."

Levy looked at the book warily. "From the information we have, that's true, but I don't know. . ."

"Well, let's just try it then!" Natsu exclaimed, yanking the old text out of Lucy's arms.

"What are you doing?!" Lucy yelped.

Natsu flipped through the pages until, from over his shoulder, Happy pointed out what looked like a spell.

"Here I go!" Natsu said.

"Natsu, that might not be a good idea," Levy warned nervously.

Gray smirked. "Just let him screw himself over, he'll be fine."

Although not appreciating Gray's comment, Natsu was happy that Gray got Levy off his back. He promptly began to recite the spell. "Switched with any shall thou be. . . foe or not, none shall it matter. For thou shall earn final freedom as they switch thy own place."

"That sounded really stupid," Gray snorted.

"Shut-!" Natsu was cut off as everything went dark.

The Dragon Slayer stood in a dark, void-like space.

"Uh. . . Anyone out there?" Natsu hollered, his voice echoing around him.

As if answering him, a man clothed in black seemed to form out of the shadows.

Natsu visibly started. "Who are you?" he asked sharply.

The man took a sharp breath and tears began to form, quickly cascading down his cheeks.

Natsu took a step back in shock before he growled warily. "Again, who the hell are you?!"

"Natsu...I can't believe how much you've grown," the man whispered.

"If you aren't going to talk sense I'm gonna beat the answer outta you!" Natsu shouted, before running at the man with full force.

The man didn't react to the incoming attack. "Why did it have to be you, of all people, to activate that spell?"

The tears continued to stream down his face even after natsu hit him full force. "I hope you will be able to forgive me, Natsu. . ."

Without prompting, a brilliant white light started to fill the void.

"What's going on?!" Natsu bellowed.

The man did not respond to his question, but spoke one last time before the light enveloped them. "Goodbye for now, Natsu."


A lukewarm wind blew across the island, birds squawking loudly overhead.

Natsu opened his eyes and groaned. He felt bark against his back and discovered that he was lying against a tree on a hillside.

"Where am I?" He asked groggily.

Suddenly, the pinkett's face lit up with realization. "That's right! The spell! And that weirdo in the black robes!"

Natsu stood up and got ready to find his bearings. He had just headed off down the hillside, when he tripped over his clothes; the dragon slayer was sent flying down the hill and he smashed into an old oak at the bottom.

"Oww. . ." Natsu groaned, holding his forehead in his palm to stave off the eminent headache. "What the hell did that happen for?" he muttered.

Natsu glared down at his clothes before jerking in surprise. They weren't his, that was for sure. They did not suit him at all. They were all black, with yellow-gold highlights. They were also partially covered by a large white sash. The last item he noticed being a silver locket around his neck.

Annoyed, but now very curious, the pinkette took the locket off and snapped it open, figuring he might as well see what's inside.

Natsu was more than a little shocked, to say the least. Inside, there was a picture of what looked like a much younger version of him, standing right next to a little black haired boy who looked oddly familiar.

It took Natsu a minute of thought before he could figure it out, but his face eventually lit up triumphantly.

"That kid looks like the guy from earlier!" Natsu announced.

But then the dragon slayer frowned. He had no idea who the guy was though, let alone why there a picture of the two of them in a locket. After attempting to think for a bit and still having no idea, Natsu just shrugged and put it back on; he figured it was probably important.

With a grunt, Natsu stood up. Time to figure out where we was.


Back at the guild Natsu's presence was now filled by that of a different man; one who bared a resemblance to the pinkett.

"Well, that was a dud," Happy sighed in disappointment. "Zeref and I could have pulled some awesome pranks if it'd worked."

"Levy did say that the book wasn't complete," Erza reminded him. "Besides, you two shouldn't have tried that in the first place. You know where reading random spells has gotten us before."

"I didn't see you didn't try and stop us," Happy muttered mutinously.

"Wait a second!" Lucy said, shaking her head in disbelief. "Please tell me you didn't just say Zeref, as in the Black Wizard Zeref."

"What are you talking about?" an unfamiliar voice chirped.

Lucy whipped around towards the sound. Behind her stood a man with smooth, ink black hair and eyes. A confused look was written across his face. But that wasn't the problem. The man was wearing Natsu's clothes, not to mention that he had the same guild mark.

"Who are you?" Lucy demanded, wary surprise evident on her face.

"It's me Zeref, duh," the man stated, giving her a baffled look.

"She's finally lost it!" Happy wailed.

"Are you okay, Lucy?" Levy asked worriedly.

Lucy shocked gaze sharpened into a glare, nervous sweat rolling down her face. At this point the confusion on the 'Zeref''s face began to change to horror.

"Lucy, do you seriously not remember me?" he asked, anxiously.

"Why would I remember someone I've never met?!" Lucy snapped. "And why are the rest of you all so calm about this?!"

"Never met. . .?" Zeref echoed.

"Lucy what do you mean? What are we 'so calm' about?" Erza asked cautiously.

"About Natsu disappearing!" Lucy shouted, waving her arms in the air. "And about Zeref, of all people, wearing his clothes and donning his guild mark!"

Practically everyone yelped in unison. "Natsu?!"

Lucy let out a premature sigh of relief.

"As in the Dark Wizard Natsu?!" Gray shouted.

A wave a horror and disbelief crashed over Lucy and she stumbled backwatds. "Please tell me you're joking," Lucy whispered.

Everyone exchanged concerned looks.

"Lucy?" Happy asked.

Zeref reached over to touch her shoulder, but she violently swatted his hand away, causing the mage to flinch.

"Get away from me!" She shouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

"How could all of you just forget Natsu?!" Lucy cried. "I'm sure he's somewhere out there, confused and worried. So you cannot just tell me you've forgotten him!"

Everyone stared at Lucy, stunned. They didn't know what to do. She had been chatting with them happily up until a minute ago.

"The spell must have affected Lucy somehow," Levy suggested with worry. "I knew this was a bad idea."

"It didn't!" Lucy insisted. "You guys may not remember Natsu, but I do and I will find him!"

Wiping away her tears, Lucy headed for the door.

"Someone stop her!" Levy shouted.

Lucy rounded on them. "Don't even think about it! Like I said, I will find Natsu and if I can't find him, he will find us!"

With that, the blonde marched out the door, slamming it behind her and leaving everyone speechless.


A dark haired man sat alone in the woods, lightly smiling to himself. Soon he would be okay again.

It was quiet and peaceful in the forest, but soon he began to feel a faint magical energy. The man wasn't worried about his safety though.

He felt the presence grow larger, but he continued to work on his book, uncaring.

As he somewhat expected, a man jumped him from behind.

Before the man could tell him to go away, the man knocked him unconscious with one swift blow to the back of his head.

The assailant searched the dark haired man for any valuables, finding only a silver necklace around his neck along with the book he saw that the man had been writing.

The man checked the locket, seeing a picture of two boys, one was obviously the man before him. The thief looked at the man softly and put the locket back, family was important to him, despite his unlawful job.

He picked up the book and flipped through it, realizing that it was a spell book. He figured it could fetch a pretty good price on the market.


Natsu was trekking through the woods when he finally noticed something deeply important to him was missing.

"Wait! Where's my scarf?!" Natsu shouted frantically. "My other clothes are gone too, maybe its with them. But, dammit, where are they?! The guild?!"

Natsu's face promptly scrunched up in disquiet.

The guild. . . I hope Fairy Tail isn't too concerned. What if the spell didn't only affect me? I hope they're okay.

Suddenly, the dragon slayer felt as though his breath was knocked out of him. Magic began to pulse from his body and he felt a new pressure rapidly building inside of him. It was all happening so fast and in only a matter of seconds a wave of magic had released from him, sweeping across the ground. Natsu consequently collapsed onto the grass below.

What was that?

It took Natsu a minute before he sat up and realized that everything in his general vicinity was dead, very dead.

"What the hell?" Natsu muttered in stunned horror. "Did I do that?" Frustration abruptly bubbled up inside him. "Dammit! I can't figure this out on my own. I have to find my friends." Though, now he wasn't quite sure if he actually should. If that was him, he was dangerous right now.

"Hello," a girl's voice unexpectedly said. However, it couldn't really be called a voice. Natsu just knew that someone had said it.

"Who's there?" Natsu demanded.

"My name is Mavis Vermillion," the voice 'said'.

I'm sure I've heard that name before. Natsu cursed his forgetfulness.

"Can you tell me where we are?" Natsu asked.

"This is Tenrou island," 'Mavis' explained with a sad tone.

"What?! No way!" Natsu exclaimed, his eyes brightening. "Luck's on my side! My friends will be coming here soon!"

Natsu felt Mavis stare at her in surprise.

The pinkette suddenly let out a long whine. "But that means I won't be able to participate in the S-Class trial! Gray had better not win!"

"What friends are you talking about?" Mavis inquired.

"The Fairy Tail guild!" Natsu proclaimed with a grin. "All of them are coming here for the S-Class trial! I'm pretty sure it's in a week!"

"Fairy Tail?!" Mavis asked, her surprise evident.

"Yep! Something wrong?" Natsu asked, cocking his head to the side.

The girl just gazed at him worriedly.


Lucy had decided that she needed to take action in order to find Natsu. She'd decided to check every hotspot for gossip that she could. The blonde sighed, she was a ways through her search as she entered her seventh bar of the day. It was already sundown too.

"Did you guys hear about the S-Class trial for Fairy Tail! It's happening pretty soon!"

Lucy sighed again. Makarov had already announced who was going and she'd heard about it at least eight different times today.

"You know I heard there's something weird going on at the island."

"I mean it is a guild island."

Lucy grabbed a drink and sat down at a nearby table, their conversation luckily beginning to catch her attention.

"No, I mean one of my friends told me that a dark guild is headed for it!

"You do not have a friend with dark guild connections."

"I do to!"

"Yeah right."

"Oh, come on!"

Well, it's not much of a lead, but it's better than nothing. I'll have to go check it out, at the very least.

Lucy quickly chugged her drink before heading out. She had to think of a way to get to the island, figuring the master wouldn't just let her go to watch.

The blonde was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when she heard someone groan. She turned to investigate, only to end up sighing in exasperation when she who is was.

Cana was definitely trashed.


"But you can't be in Fairy Tail!" Mavis insisted.

"Why not?!" Natsu asked indignantly. "I have the guild mark!"

Natsu tried to pull up his sleeve, but the cuff was tight and it was turning out to be a hassle. Eventually he got so fed up with it that he just ripped it off. The dragon slayer gawked at his arm in disbelief. There wasn't a guild mark.

"What the hell?!" Natsu shouted, profoundly upset.

"Like I said," Mavis continued. "You just cannot be in Fairy Tail. Only people with the guild mark can see me and I know you can't."

This has to be some stupid joke! How dare someone take it off?!

"Well, maybe I don't have it right now, but I'm still a member!" Natsu huffed.

He was going to kill whoever took it off!

"Wait a second," Natsu said, having a sudden realization. "Why can only Fairy Tail members see you?"

"I'm Fairy Tail's first master." Mavis explained.

"What?! No way!" Natsu exclaimed. "How am I talking to you then?!"

Mavis gave him an unseen smile. "I'm an apparition."


Lucy practically had to drag Cana to her apartment, where she had done her best to help the brunette sober up.

"Are you really okay?"

Even if Lucy was still agitated by her friends not recalling Natsu, that didn't mean she would ever stop worrying for them.

"I'm fine," Cana said softly.

Lucy sat down next to the brunette. "You can tell me what's wrong, Cana."

Cana lt out a defeated sigh. "...I'm seriously thinking about quitting the guild."

"Why?!" Lucy demanded, worry filling her voice. "What's wrong?!"

Cana looked at the ground as she delved into her story.


Natsu was about to reply to Mavis, but the earlier pressure returned from nowhere for a vicious comeback. Natsu exhaled as he felt another wave of magic begin to pulse inside his body; he once again, fell to the ground. He felt Mavis' eyes on him as he waited until the wave eventually released.

The pinkette shivered as he began to sit up, he felt as if the night wind was blowing through him. It suddenly hit him. He was cold. Natsu didn't get cold, at least not from some stupid wind. After all, he was a Fire Dragon Slayer. However, now that Natsu thought about it, he realized he hadn't used any of his magic since his arrival.

"Well, time for some fire!" Natsu promptly announced.

Natsu swiftly attempted to summon the element with his fist, but nothing happened. Natsu tried again with no result.

"Why won't my magic work?!" Natsu demanded.

"It's probable that you don't have control," Mavis theorized.

"What do you mean?!" Natsu questioned hotly.

"You say you're part of Fairy Tail, so it's possible you remember other magic instead of your own. You don't know remember how to use it and you're naturally repressing your magic power to protect yourself and others," Mavis clairfied.

Natsu let out a low growl. "My magic is Fire Dragon Slayer magic. I haven't learned any other type."

Mavis gave him a worried look, but sighed in resignation. "To get 'your' magic back, why don't you start by gaining control of the magic you have now?"

"You mean the painful waves of whatever magic that I keep having?" Natsu asked in confusion.

"No," Mavis replied, shaking her head. "That is Death Predation, which can only be controlled by changing how much you value life."

"Huh?" Natsu asked.

"Never mind. I was talking about the magic abilities you have, you should be capable of using almost all of the Black Arts," Mavis explained.

"You mean I can use Black Magic?" Natsu asked, not liking the sound of that.

"Correct, for example I've seen you disappear and then reappear in another location," Mavis elucidated.

"No way! That's awesome!" Natsu said excitedly, forgetting about the implications of such an ability. "How do I do it?"

"Unfortunately, I myself do not know how to do it. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

"Well, then I guess I'll just have to try random stuff until I get it," Natsu decided.

The pinkette ignorantly shouted all the obvious things that came to his mind; 'Teleport!' and 'Move me!' were among them.

After what seemed like forever, Natsu sighed in frustration. "I give uuuup!"

"Why don't you try to clear your head?" Mavis suggested, amusement in her voice.

"Fiiiine," Natsu agreed begrudgingly.

"The woods here are really nice," Mavis informed him. "You should go explore."

"Oh!" Natsu said, his eyes lighting up. "Okay!"

The dragon slayer excitedly ran off in a random direction. After all, getting a layout of the island could be great if he was still able to compete in the S-Class trial.

He had been able to explore for a good thirty minutes when Natsu's ears were graced with hearing an ear splitting roar. The pinkette snapped his head in the direction of the noise and grinned; realizing that it was a monstrously huge creature. With fangs. He couldn't be happier.

That was. . . until he remembered his magic was incapacitated. Shit.

Natsu scrambled for his life as the creature began to gain on him. The pinkette took the 'ample' time to whine to himself. Dammit! I wish I was back at the clearing and not about to be eaten!

He remembered how peaceful it had felt there, well at least before he had killed it. There had been a strange scent of lavender and oak. It had an old musty smell to it too.

And then suddenly Natsu was tripping over a root and sent face planting into the ground. The pinkette assumed he was pretty much fucked until he realized that lack of giant footsteps and roaring chasing after him, and he looked up.

It was the damn clearing.

Natsu felt a triumphant smirk stretch across his face. It could only be a matter of time before he got his own magic back.

He felt Mavis give him an a entertained smile.


Happy looked down at Zeref, the latter sporting a dejected look on his face.

"You gonna be okay?" Happy asked quietly.

It had been a day since Lucy's outburst and Zeref still couldn't quite wrap his head around what had happened.

"I think so," Zeref sighed.

Lucy had been one of his best friends ever since he got her into Fairy Tail. And he didn't have a clue as to why she was acting so bizarre. It had to have been the spell, but then why did it affect Lucy and not him? And why did it mess with her memory instead of just having her switch places with someone?

"I think it might have something to do with the spell," Happy said, mirroring Zeref's thoughts. "She started acting weird right after we used that spell."

"I believe you're right, Happy, but we don't have any clue where she went after she ran off. We'll most likely need her here to fix it," Zeref said.

"It's morning, she's probably in her apartment," Happy reminded him.

"I don't know. . . but it wouldn't hurt to check," Zeref said, jumping up from his couch. He found it hard to believe that, after her declaration to find Natsu, she would just go back to her apartment.

"Well, if she is there, should I do the talking?" Happy asked quietly.

Zeref nodded solemnly. "Yeah, but I'm going to stay near by."

"Alright," Happy agreed.

As the duo arrived, Happy flew up and looked inside Lucy's window. He spotted the blonde along with what looked like a couple of beer cans. He was pretty sure that Lucy had told him she was a lightweight. Maybe someone else was over? However, the Exceed didn't see anyone else.

Shrugging, Happy opened the window and flew over to shake the celestial mage awake.

As he did, Lucy muttered, "Natsu. . . told you not to break in. . ."

Happy felt dismayed as he continued to wake her up. When he finally got Lucy to open her eyes, they widened and she crowed, "Happy!"

Surprisingly, Lucy proceeded to squeeze her friend into a suffocating hug.

"Luc—y. . . can't breath," Happy choked out.

The blonde quickly let up. "I'm sorry Happy I just missed you. It's only been a day, but I was so mean to all of you. It's not your fault that you don't remember Natsu."

"Lucy. . ." Happy started slowly. "I wanted to talk about this. . . Natsu guy."

Happy hoped that maybe some information could help them figure out exactly what had happened.

"Oh," Lucy said, a little startled. "Alright, if you want."

Happy nodded and the blonde proceeded to describe her friend.

"Well he usually wears what. . . Zeref. . . was wearing yesterday. They have pretty similar facial structure too, but Natsu has pink hair that stands up all spiky," Lucy explained, raising her hands to her head for effect. "He's also kinda tan."

"What's his personality like?" Happy asked.

"Oh! Well, I'd have to say that Natsu is pretty impulsive, reckless, carefree and stupid. . . he does idiotic things pretty often actually," Lucy said, letting out an exasperated laugh. "But he always pulls through in a bad situation. Oh and he loves fighting! He and Gray are always going at it, and during battles and his plans are. . . well. . . well at least they work most of the time."

Happy grimaced. What she said vaguely reminded him of Zeref. The exceeded wanted to know why Natsu was similar to his friend. "What magic does he use?"

"He uses Fire Dragon Slayer magic," Lucy told him.

Happy felt his jaw drop in disbelief. "There's no way that's possible!"

Lucy gave him a funny look. "Wendy was raised by Grandeeney and taught Sky Dragon Slayer magic and Natsu was raised by Igneel and Fire Dragon Slayer magic. Why would it be impossible?"

"Lucy, Zeref was raised by Igneel!" Happy explained.

The blonde's eyes widened in shock, before she frowned, muttering, "I guess I should have expected that. . ."

Happy felt his eyes water. "Lucy, do you really not remember Zeref?"

Lucy looked at the exceed softly. "I'm sorry Happy, but I really don't. I'd never met Zeref before yesterday. . . And I know that you all don't remember Natsu the same way."

Happy started to cry and Lucy hugged him again. He knew that Zeref was outside, listening to every, single word. It hurt to think how much harder all of this must be for his friend.


It was after three days, when Natsu got nicked by an animal during hunting, that he saw a wound heal on its own. It was cool, but with everything else going on, he was wise to be concerned.

"Oi Mavis," Natsu called out. "Do you know why my injury disappeared?"

The Pinkett felt her bright presence walk up behind him. "You're immortal."

". . . What?" Natsu asked, giving her a look of utmost disbelief. "I'm pretty sure I'm not immortal."

"You are," Mavis asserted.

"Prove it," Natsu demanded.

"You literally just watched your own body regenerate itself," Mavis sighed. "It's part of a curse you have."

"Wait, a curse?" Natsu questioned, confused.

"It's called the Curse of Contradictions," Mavis explained. "It's what causing Black Magic to pulse out from you."

"The waves that kill stuff?" Natsu asked. "Why would I have a curse like that?"

"I don't know, but I assume there are multiple ways you could have gotten it," Mavis replied.

"Well then, how do I get rid of it?" Natsu huffed.

Mavis shook her head. "As far as I know, there isn't a way to, and you can't kill yourself either. I'm sorry."

"Why would I want to kill myself?" Natsu snorted.

"Because your curse kills everything you care about," Mavis explained softly, shifting her feet. "And you have to live forever. . ."

Natsu's brow furrowed in concern. "Would that mean I'd be a danger to my friends?"

"Unfortunately, that is the case."

"Well how do I not hurt them then?" Natsu asked.

"You'd have to stop seeing them as purely loved ones, as valued lives," Mavis explained.

"Well I can't do that!" Natsu huffed, sifting down. "Maybe it's a bad idea for them to find me, at least for now."

". . . This curse is about balance. If you can balance your feelings, your love with hate, your care with ill will, then you will be able to keep the curse under control."

"Hmm. . . Well the ice block is annoying and Erza is pretty violent towards me. . ."

Mavis shook her head and her eyes softened. "That isn't hate Natsu."

Natsu sighed. "I don't know then."

Mavis apologized again. "I'm sorry."

"No, none of this is your fault. I'm the one who chose to actually read that damn spell, and I'm pretty sure this is all that's fault," Natsu sighed.

"Spell?" Mavis asked, perking up.

"I didn't tell you?" Natsu asked, surprised. "Whoops."

"What spell did you read?" Mavis briskly quickly.

"Well I don't remember it exactly, but it was I think a teleportation spell. It said something 'bout switching places, and then I met this guy with black hair and woke up here," Natsu explained briefly.

Mavis' eyes widened in surprise. "Your memory! It must have been switched with The Dark Wizard!"

Natsu felt his mouth go agape. "Wait, The Dark Wizard?! As in you're saying that I've switched places with Zeref?!"

Mavis blinked in bemusement at the name. ". . .Yes?"


Well, I'm not dead (if you were wondering). After my notice on not posting frequently, 'cause of school and all that, I really lost interest in Fairy Tail (Mashima disappointed me too many times!), among other issues. This includes thinking that most of my writing in this story is absolute cringe trash. That caused me to be hella stressed out by even the thought of working on it. So, as a solution I've been working on rewriting the whole 215 pages, but it's taking awhile—I've got 33 pages done, not a lot, trust me I know. I also have been focusing more on improving my art and that takes up like 5 hours of my free time a day—I haven't even had time to work on the stories that I enjoy (I'm really into One Piece now and I have way too many docs just filled with angst). And I get that this must be pretty disappointing (especially since I'm only giving you 4,900 words—who knew that was 16 pages, yikes.) and I'm sorry, but I felt like I really oughta put something up for anyone who's left; I also want to say that, yes, I haven't abandoned this work, it's just not my favorite, nor an enjoyable thing to work on like it used to be.

One last thing, I'm not going to delete the original chapters, just incase some of you will enjoy the original version more (Btw in the rewritten version all the key plot points will be the same).

Hope you have a good evening, morning or whatever time ~FairyA.
