Your so called "hope" is to throw the past into despair

     No one questioned it. They all focused on getting Natsu back to the guild. Some Knights had been sent from Era to assess the situation.

After looking around they had decided to take Zeref back to Era with them - all of them substantially confused and shocked with how the Dark Lord was alive.

Porlyusica was called immediately after getting to the guild. Natsu seemed in fine health - but he had been dead. And coming back to life wasn't bad, but it defiantly was something to fret over.

 Someone could have used a spell to bring him back, and in that case, meant that he wasn't really alive. Lucy helped by making the infirmary a "homey" place. Natsu was laid on one of the beds, his scary pale skin almost blended with the white sheets.

Of course, Natsu's bright pink hair was sprawled across the pillow. Somehow it had grown longer - much to Lucy's discombobulation.

 Sighing, Lucy sat on a chair next to Natsu's bed, and wrangled her hand into his.

Only a few were allowed in the room once Porlyusica arrived. That few consisted of: Makarov, Erza, Gray, Lucy and Happy.

Porlyusica frowned upon Natsu, "Wasn't he dead?"

     "Yes, yes! Dead as a door nail! Now, can you continue?" Makarov urged.

Porlyusica scoffed, "Don't rush me, Makarov."

 The pink haired woman ran a few tests on Natsu, sometimes she would pause and use her magic to do something, and then continue with the tests.

After a solid thirty minutes of tests and anticipation, Porlyusica heaved a sigh.

     "So?"

Porlyusica turned towards the group, "He's perfectly fine."

     "...was there any spells used on him...to bring him back to life?"

Porlyusica shook her head, "I found no traces of other magic used on him. But, it does seem that his magic has grown since the last time I examined him."

     "Did he even die then? He had no breath, no heartbeat."

      "I looked at his body when he was dead. And he was dead," added Porlyusica. "so he somehow used his magical energy to bring himself back to life, as well as Zeref."

     "He's that strong!?" Gray exclaimed.

  Gray had always knew that Natsu was strong, but he didn't realize he was strong enough to bring himself back to life.

     "Of course, I will have to conduct further tests when he is awake. I won't leave this city, oh, and he should be waking up any time now."

Makarov nodded at Porlyusica as she left.

     "Wow..." Happy murmured.

 After around two hours, they all decided to head into the guild hall. Natsu still hadn't woken up, but before they had gone downstairs, Lucy had constantly checked Natsu's pulse.

     "Hey, Levy."

Levy glanced at Lucy, "Lu! How's Natsu?"

     "Uh...I really don't know. The information that Porlyusica gave us was scarce. I don't think she ever knows what happened herself..." Lucy's voice trailed off.

Levy nodded, "Ah...Master isn't letting us go up there, so you're lucky."

Lucy lifted her head, "Huh? Why wouldn't he?"

Levy shrugged, "Doesn't make much sense to me...I guess he doesn't want anyone's hopes to get up or anything. For all we know it's just an illusion."

     "I don't think so..." Lucy muttered. "...I mean, Porlyusica said that he was dead...and that he did come back to life. No magic used from anyone else except himself."
