I do like this but a few things,why did Gajeel leave when he knew that the dragon would be left behind to rest and like the others have all wanted their parents back right so then why leave? (This may be answered later who knows but still)

And as much as I like Igneel shouldn't the other dragons be getting into this too-and yet they are getting left behind.I just really want some dragon slayer and dragon parent bonding lol

aside from that this is a really cool fic XD

This was a great read! Thank you so much for completing it and for providing a happier end for me, especially since the anime and manga are far from done. I hope you continue to write more fanfic because your attention to detail is amazing. I hope you keep writing :)

Yay, happy ending!

I absolutely loved Zeref and Mavis standing up against Ankhseram. Sooo in character.

Asdffegh alright, this will be quite long, so- bear with me~ xD first, the part where you wrote 'all she could feel was sick' is a bit weird since sick is an adjective and not a noun. However, 'all she could feel was sickness' doesn't sound right either ; personally, I think 'she felt sick' is enough. That said, I love Lucy's and Happy's reaction to Natsu dying~! I can feel the pain and sadness and everything and it's just amazing [coughs] but, how dare you- Happy crying is so sad ;-;) [coughs] and, poor Wendy and Charle, omg. I can imagine just how bad Lucy must have felt for momentarily 'forgetting' about her. Also, as I'd said before, I'm always amazed by Ankhseram's characterisation; while I'd always thought that I'd hate her for what she's done to Zeref and Mavis, I just can't since she's just doing her job and she always emphasises that _) but, still- I'm really happy when Zeref and Mavis arrived; and, the vortex is black and white just like how I'd always imagined their powers combined would be~! [coughs] but, even though I don't hate Ankhseram, I can't say that I don't feel happy when Zeref glared and attacked her? Like, you go, son~ xD and, 'I don't expect any form of pardon, nor do I expect forgiveness' I LOVE THIS PART. Very in-character of Zeref, it's really nice~ Lucy stopping Zeref from reviving Natsu despite her reluctance is one great detail as well other than that, 'If the gods wish for a war, then I will gladly oblige' LOVE THIS PART, TOO. Gosh, I just love Zeref's dark side too much~ xD maybe, 'shall' would be a better choice of word rather than 'will' when it comes to Zeref; but, again- that's minor detail~ anyway, I love Mavis' outfit~! Imagining her with straight hair is a bit weird (am I right in thinking that it's different from her hairstyle when she's a child?) but, her outfit in my imagination seems lovely~ AND, YES TO LUCY RECOGNIZING ZEREF'S POWER AND MAVIS BEING REALLY POWERFUL. I still think that there should be some form of weakness to Fairy Heart, but- [coughs] since this is the last chapter, it's fine~ xD [coughs] or, have you thought about what its weakness might be? Ahhh, but- your choice on Natsu's smell, charcoal and trees, is really nice~! I can imagine it quite easily and it fits Natsu really well :') the comment about Lucy being weird makes me feel all nostalgic, too /and, I'm glad to know that Lucy told Natsu about Zeref saving him; it's the foundation of great things to come from the both of them~! what happened after they left the gods' realm felt a bit rushed, though; what's with Natsu suddenly being very close to Zeref and Zeref smiling a lot. It just seems a bit too fast after what had just happened. I like the part about Lucy noticing the light in Zeref's eyes, though and, the ending to the chapter and story with Mavis, Lucy, and Natsu telling Zeref about the rules of leaving Fairy Tail is really sweet; I love it~! Finally, thank you so much for creating this story~! It's really enjoyable and there are lots of moments that I truly love, I can't possibly thank you enough for sharing all of these with us :') Have fun with your break and take care~! I hope that your friend is fine, death threats can be seriously harmful and I wouldn't want him/her to be saddened or worse by that :'( but, yes- I think, this is a good time for that break too. Well, in any case, have fun and feel free to come back whenever you want to~! I'll be waiting for the updates to your other stories when you do~ :'D have a great week~!

[inhales] Okay, but- I love, love, LOVE the way you portrayed Zeref in this chapter~! If I'm being honest, the first part of the chapter was commonly found in other stories told from Zeref's POV as well, so- it was kind of 'slow' for me in a way, but it's okay since the feels just came right out when his curse was lifted, okay- SERIOUSLY, I LOVE THAT PART. You don't know how hard it is to sort out these emotions when I read that part about him feeling the pain and the exhaustion and the part when he said he was going to save someone precious to him, omg. I'm wheezing~ xD / really, your decision to write this chapter from Zeref's POV is great, it definitely adds to the feels when his curse was lifted~! That Zervis part is great, too~ I'm happy to know that Zeref could see through Mavis' illusion which showed his magical strength yet decided to push the thought to the back of his mind since that's in-character for him; and, the part when he refused to hug Mavis as he thought that he hadn't earned her forgiveness, I love that part as well~ other than that, Zeref being impulsive when it comes to Natsu and re-acknowledging Mavis' strategic skills is one great addition. I have to say, though- Cana, are you serious? xD Next, I'm glad to see that you mentioned about Zeref having researched the method Fairy Tail was trying out as well since it would be a bit weird if he hadn't known about that method at all. I wonder why he didn't try going to that realm, though? I mean- yes, it would be bad if he couldn't go back; but, he was quite desperate in my opinion? Also, a little bit of detail, I love Levy's courage in this chapter~ definitely didn't think that it would be her doing that, so that's great there are a few spelling errors, like 'due' in the second paragraph and 'mine' in the sentence 'Fairy Heart is mine to claim'; but, that's just minor as usual~ just know that I REALLY love this chapter, okay~ great job~! :'D / psttt, also- thanks for the fluff~ we definitely need that after the last chapter~ xD and, I'm sure that you'll be able to write GaLe if you focus on that particular pairing. In this chapter, the focus was on Zeref and Mavis' curse being lifted, so the GaLe moment kind of lost its shine when you wrote it there (especially, since there's barely any foreshadowing); but, if that had been your focus since the start, I'm sure that you'll be great at it as well~!

Okay, first- for the correction, it's my pleasure~! Second, I don't see how I can possibly hate you? I LOVE this chapter, like- I LOVE IT SO MUCH the part when Lucy asked Ankhseram about her promise followed by her wanting to go home is one really nice addition to the situation they're facing. Each characters' thoughts about Ankhseram is really in-character as well; I can even imagine the glare in Gray's eyes when he said that Ankhseram doesn't understand honour~ other than that, the fight is great, too. I can imagine them doing and saying those things so easily; also, I really love the interaction between Wendy and Erza~! :'D Even after understanding Lucy's plan, Erza's grip on her sword was still shaky and that really showed how precious Wendy and Natsu are to her [coughs] also, I don't know why- but, I get such a cute image of Ankhseram in my mind when you wrote that she smiled and clasped her hands together and I can't even dislike her now [coughs] xD finally, I love the last line, too~ it's really fitting for Ankhseram to be teaching that to them and I can't find a better way to describe that lesson than that; the way you explained the lesson, the sentence is just a masterpiece :') basically, I love everything in this chapter? Like I said, how can I possibly hate you for bringing such an amazing chapter~? xD If there's anything to be improved from this, I'd say that there are only two things. One, the part when Erza asked Ankhseram about how she could possibly treat Simon's death like that- you wrote 'her red hair was behind her' and that's... a bit weird? I can't grasp what you're trying to say on that part, but that's only the detail. A bigger one is the ending- don't get me wrong, it's great~! It's just that it's kind of vague whether Natsu and Wendy are alive or not? Ankhseram said that she was going to give them one small mercy, which made me thought that she's going to let the both of them live; but, then- they collapsed. The ending is just too vague in that term for me, but I assumed that it's going to be explained in the next chapter- so, it's okay~! Other than that, it's all great~! You really improved the trial, I love it so much~! Great job and have a great week~ :'D

Natsu...died... Nooooo why can't they ever be a happy family?! I am somewhat frustrated by this plot twist because I thought it was going to be a happy ending for Natsu and Zeref. I kind of get why you chose to do it because it would be unlikely that ankserham would pass over them 'upsetting the balance'. I don't hate you or th story for the plot twist though! Plenty of stories have plot twists some readers disagree with it is something readers have to be prepared for. I am slightly concerned as to what will happen to Zeref when he finds out that Ankserham killed his brother...(i don't think being told that will end well!).

Okay, so- maybe, I should tell you that it's supposed to be Ankhseram instead of Ankhersam; I thought that it was a typo in the previous chapter, but apparently, it's not ; but, anyway~ the reason as to why Ankhseram might agree to free Mavis and not Zeref from their curse, while makes sense in a way, seems a bit forceful to me. I think that it would have been better for her to not agree about lifting the curse from both of them as you'd previously described the gods as absolute with their decisions (what's with the black and white setting as well) but, I like Fairy Tail's reaction to being told that it's a matter of life and death~! That's SO their style~ xD I wonder, though. If weapons work on him, why didn't hammer work? :o Having said that, I'll have to be honest and say that this trial is not as impactful as I had hoped for. Probably, it would have been better if another character other than Simon was chosen; yes, I know that it's hard to find their dead allies- but by choosing Simon, the emotional impact revolves only around Erza. While the other characters may have considered Simon as a friend, it's just nowhere near as much as Erza and that's putting the characters' emotional burden on such unequal grounds. Even in the battle, while all of them tried their best to be useful according to each of their abilities, I think that they defeated Simon way too easily with only few characters doing bigger portions of the fight. Also, sorry for being blunt, but- why did you choose this trial? They've been tested for their strength and love and I feel like this trial is simply a repetition of those two trials combined ; / ahhh, but- in any case, it's great to know that you'll be back~! [whispers] and, here's my account~! while I think that this chapter could have been better, I'll still be looking forward to the next chapter~ have a great day~!

Ahhh, a new chapter~! Thank you for writing this~ okay, so- I know that the trial given by the god of love was supposed to be sad and depressing in a way; but, tbh- considering the events that had happened in canon, I had a hard time feeling any kind of fear or sympathy towards the characters since I believe that they’re going to be okay in the end, anyway- that is, until I read their reactions in this chapter. It’s truly saddening to see them being affected by the last trial- though, I suppose I should be glad that Wendy seemed to be better. That said, this part: Natsu was always so warm- it’s actually quite common for that line to be found in Fairy Tail fics, but I still love it~! I can imagine Natsu saying all of those things to Lucy as well, despite the kiss being an abrupt surprise. More foreshadowing regarding Natsu’s feelings towards Lucy would have been better, imo- as the last hint about Natsu’s feelings towards Lucy seemed to be so long ago due to the past chapters focusing on the trials; but, it’s okay~! It’s not like it’s completely out-of-character or anything like that; not to mention, I love the part after the kiss~ the both of them running together just brings back lots of memories and your explanation regarding how nothing significantly changes is really heartwarming~ but, the twist asdsfje; I didn’t expect that _) I imagined Ankhseram to be an adult, but- I agree. Somehow, Ankhseram being a child makes sense as well- that said, I love her personality~! I pictured it as similar to Zeref’s, somehow- what’s with her being able to turn from being angry to calm and vice-versa so quickly /also, I kind of imagined her smile to be similar to Zeref’s, welp. Anyway~ another detail, but- when I read the part about the sinking feeling Lucy felt, I could feel that as well and that’s amazing, okay- and, while I had expected the punishment for not being able to pass the trials to be THAT, the way she explained that was quite harsh lol poor Gray~ well, in any case, I can’t wait to read the next chapter~! No pressure, though- just do it at your own pace~

Then, as for your reply to my other reviews, thank you so much for taking the time to write back~! :’D It’s really my pleasure to be able to support you and your stories; I think that I have to apologise for spamming your inbox, though~ sorry about that ; as for how you portray the characters, I really mean it. I think it’s the combination of how you manage to delve deeper into their emotions and your choice of words that allow it to be really in-character; I just love how you make them out to be~ Well, continuing on, about Gray- there’s nothing wrong with his trial being the shortest one; he’s suffered too much and I can understand why he would be angry at seeing those false images as well~ but, aww- alright, then. I’m not active on FB anymore, but I’ll keep the information just in case I want to contact you over there, sometimes~ :’)

Well, next~ Karma of Contradictions- as I’d said before, you’re really good at characterizations~ I don’t analyse the other characters’ personalities that deeply either, but- so far, it’s fine~ :’) the same can be said for Lahar’s logic. Now, that said, isn’t that great? :’D I don’t mind long stories- in fact, I like them as more important things can be fleshed out. While maintaining the interesting points in a long story may be hard, I’m sure that you’ll manage~! However, I don’t think that I’ll be activating my FB account soon, so- I think I’ll just create an account here as I’d been planning on doing that anyway- since the ban on this site is already gone in my country~ lastly, I’m honoured to know that you feel the same way and that you’d allow me to read them. Thank you so much~! :’D

Anddd~ for the last one, Balancing Darkness- well, I’ll see if I’ll get to like the pairing through your story~ :’) I’m a fan of Zervis and Nalu as well, so I’m glad that we have the same interest; maybe, you can be the one to introduce me to this pairing~ that said, I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the story and what you’ll change regarding Zeref’s past. Then, as for Jellal, it’s fine~ the information could have been given slowly instead of putting it all in a single paragraph, imo- they can just walk and talk and you can give out a few hints from Jellal; I think that Zeref should have gotten the gist of it as he’s quite sharp. However, it’s not like it’s completely bad, so don’t worry too much about it~ and now, you’re making me curious on how Zeref would handle Jellal’s suspicions~ xD but, anyway~ I agree. Telling a story about everything that happened during the time skip would be repetitive; even just a general outline of what happened during that time will be good, I think~ also, I see. If that’s what Sonora would be, I think that it’s fine~ That said, ahhh- sorry, I got the impression that Zeref in this story was trying to do things that would benefit him as that’s one of the reasons that he joined Jellal’s quest. Personally, I think that he would, more likely, stay silent or give some kind vague answer instead of telling her about his identity so quickly. I mean, in canon, his answers are vague all the time except for the time when he told Natsu all of that information~ xD but, I agree that he can definitely be honest as well~ and, as for Sonora being trained, I see. Take caution when you’re nearing Alvarez, though- there’s lots of plotholes in that concept alone ; that said, that reaction is much more reasonable, indeed~ :’D well, finally~ again, thank you for typing out all of this~! Don’t worry about the length; I tend to ramble a lot, so- sorry about this as well~ ; and, I’m glad to hear that it might turn out into an extended break instead of permanent leave~ don’t worry about the deadlines and have fun writing whenever you’re ready~! Even us, readers, wouldn’t want you to be stressed out with your stories, I’m sure; writing fanfictions is done for fun, after all- and, sharing these stories is already really kind of you~!

Well, lastly- have a great week~! I’ll follow your stories the moment I’m done making my account~! :’D

Awww, just how I expected Natsu to react~! Your characterisation is as amazing as always~ I was smiling throughout the whole chapter just imagining Natsu saying all of those things as well as the god being such a nice one I can't wait to see how they'll deal with Ankhseram's trial~! I just know that it's going to be awesome :'D as for the announcement, again, I hope that you'll stay or come back one day~! Ahhh, but- if you're going to leave this site permanently, I was wondering if you have an account on other writing sites? Ao3 or others? :o I'd still love to read your stories even if it's not here, if you're planning on writing more~ :')

Gray's trial was faster than I had expected it to be :o I didn't even think of the people appearing in this trial as illusions up until now; I thought that the 'scenes' only happened in their own mind or something /but, I'm glad to know that Gray was the one who managed to see through the illusion~! It's not like I hate Lucy, but I'm a bit tired of stories that make Lucy 'special' and thus, she's the one who's capable of everything ; anyway, that's why- Gray being the one able to do it is quite refreshing~ also, Wendy saying inspiring things will ALWAYS get to me. I'm so proud of her, she's come so far~

I knew that Jellal would be involved in Erza's trial~! :'D That said, I love the fact that Jellal seems to not want to fight against her; also, that they're fighting on equal grounds~ Erza seems like the person who would be able to fight Jellal again, though- as long as that means protecting Fairy Tail /or, at least, that's what she would have done if this happened in canon- but, then again, Erza in canon IS over-powered both emotionally and physically ; Anyway, the way Erza handled her trial is fine~ keep up the good work~!

Very excited for what happens next as it is getting to the interesting part (everything before was interesting too!) Enjoyed seeing Natsu being in character whilst talking about Zeref! (authors seem to write him somewhat out of character whenever Zeref comes up) sad to hear you might be leaving fan fiction but I respect your decision and hope that if you do leave you might come back at some point. I realised today that both this story and the one about Fairy Tail becoming a dark guild (can't remember the title) are written by the same author ! (I noticed because of the identical note at the end) I have really enjoyed the chapters of both stories! Since there are so few stories where Zeref isn't portrayed as an evil villain who must die no matter what, stories like this are extra exciting!

Since everyone who has done this trial so far has been shown something regarding their past I'm guessing Natsu will probably be dealing with an illusion of Igneel? I would have guessed Zeref but since in a previous trial they were told that they couldn't say who his brother was I don't think that the next trial would then just show him anyway.
