Hey Puddins' so this is the fifth and final installment in my Hallelujah series. This one is the saddest of the bunch but its fitting for Zervis. There is not enough fics for this ship to be honest. Anyway, all characters belong to Mashima, or else the plot would be a lot different.

Maybe there is a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Zeref had lost everything he ever loved. All he ever wanted to do was bring back his little brother. Bring back a baby boy who had never even had a chance to live. His intentions had been pure, love being his only motivation. But still the gods shunned and cursed him. All he wanted was to do good, but they condemned him to only be a creature of evil.

Then his true misery began. Everything he loved decayed around him. The birds that sang him to sleep dropped dead from the sky, the trees that gave him shade withered away, any humans he encountered suffered the same fate. The more he loved, the more he lost.

He tried to fix his mistake, brought his brother back and tried to find a way to end his own suffering. But he was just adding to the pain he unleashed on the world. The demons he made were uncontrollable, they didn't understand their purpose, so he was forced to abandon them.

But he hadn't wanted to give into the hate yet. Instead he found a neutral area. He avoided contact with all life, living in the woods, never staying in one area long. Until one day he saw her in the river. She didn't fear him, even after he told her to avoid him. She created a world just for him, even if it was a brief moment. He could hold something living, something that he hadn't had the pleasure to do in so long. Against his better judgment, he allowed himself to care for the girl.

He found her again years later, unchanged, cursed just as he was. But even with the curse she hadn't allowed herself to fall into the darkness like he did. And when she told him they could find an escape together, he could no longer restrain himself. He kissed her to prove to himself that was capable of love still- and gave the curse what it needed to rip her from him. Love only brought him misery, he had learned long ago, but it hadn't been until she was gone that he accepted it. Love was nothing, just a broken dream.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

And as Zeref stood now, centuries later, he faced both his brother and Mavis. The only two people he had ever truly loved, the two who had been torn from him. He had a mission, make this world suffer as he had, and a small part of him hoped they saw his state. Saw that he was no longer a man who could be fixed. All he was now was a broken, shattered dream.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
