Acnologia flew for a day across the lands and over the seas until he pinpointed Mavis's whereabouts. He then landed in a city called Magnolia where he scared a few locals.
"DRAGON!" one man screamed as Acnologia landed. This sent the town into mass panic.
"It's okay! He's friendly!" Warrod yelled calming the townsfolk.
Acnologia transformed and grabbed Warrod by the throat, not proving his friendliness.
"Okay Weedren-" he began to threaten.
"Warrod," he corrected.
"I don't care, where is Mavis?!"
As it turns out; Mavis used Law to save Yuri because he didn't listen to her, became immortal, and she had found out that Zera was an illusion so Zera disappeared.
'Thanks, Blondy, I'm gonna kill you,' every voice in Acnologia's head growled.
Acnologia followed Warrod to the house that Mavis was staying at. It was secluded in the woods for some reason that Acnologia didn't care to know. He threw the door open and the first person he saw was Yuri which was very bad for the new mage. Acnologia grabbed Yuri by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall of the house, "Listen, you little *input word* I'm going to make you regret a whole lot in the next five seconds!" he threatened, accidentally allowing a slip of his tongue and using a draconic word. A word from the dragon language that sounded much like a snarl mixed with a few vowels.
"Whoa hold on!" Precht interrupted.
"What happened to your eye Praline?" Acnologia asked looking at the mage who now wore an eye-patch.
"Acno..." Mavis interjected.
He looked to Mavis, her eyes were still full of tears from saying goodbye to Zera, but it was the man next to her that made Acnologia's blood boil; Zeref.
"It wasn't his fault Acno, he didn't know-" Mavis pleaded.
Acnologia released Yuri, "No, Yuni here was just an IDIOT!" he growled.
"It's Yuri."
The Acnologia pointed to Zeref, "You little *input word* taught MY MAVIS an ANCIENT SPELL!" Perhaps a terrible draconic word slipped in there but no one spoke dragon so they weren't aware that Acnologia had just insulted Zeref's family, legitimacy, and honor with one word.
"Acnologia I-" Zeref began.
"Shut up!" Let's just say that Acnologia used much fouler language. He was simply trying to stop himself from ripping the dark mage's heart out of his chest.
"Do you honestly think I'm happy about her joining our little club of dark mages?!" Zeref sneered back.
"Don't call this a club, this is not a club, this is a collection of miserable souls and Mavis should NOT HAVE JOINED!"
"I agree," Zeref nodded slowly losing his composure.
"Why would you teach it to her Zeref?!" Acnologia hissed.
"She WANTED ME too!"
"And you said YES!"
"I warned her!"
"She doesn't heed warnings!"
"Listen! I didn't WANT this to happen!"
"WELL, IT DID!"
"Can you CALM DOWN!"
"CALM DOWN! Mavis has ruined her LIFE!"
"WELL WHAT ARE YOU BLAMING ME FOR?!"
"FOR TEACHING HER THE SPELL! IT'S JUST LIKE YOU TO HELP SOMEONE MEDDLE IN THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE MEDDLED WITH! HAS YOUR CURSE TAUGHT YOU NOTHING!"
"THIS IS JUST LIKE YOU, ALWAYS PLAYING THE BLAME GAME. YOU'RE STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME ANNA'S DEATH ON AREN'T YOU!"
"DON'T SAY HER NAME!" Acnologia roared magic power seeping off of him.
Everyone jumped back, even Mavis. Acnologia had lost his temper before, but never in such a way. He and Zeref stared at each other, pure hatred in each other's eyes.
Then Mavis spoke up, "Wait you're Zeref?"
"As is the dark wizard Zeref, that Zeref?" Yuri asked.
"Yes... " Zeref nodded keeping his eyes on Acnologia, "And your little ACNO here is the dragon of the apocalypse, the king of his kind."
Acnologia growled menacingly.
"Yeah, I would not piss him off right now," Yuri warned.
Acnologia and Zeref never broke eye contact. They stared at each other for a good minute.
"Get out of here," Acnologia hissed.
"Acno, he taught us magic, he basically saved our lives. He should be able to stay," Mavis objected coming between them.
"Mavis, on any other matter, I'll at least try and listen to you, but when it comes to Zeref, not even you can change my mind," he replied.
"But-" Mavis began to argue.
"Don't argue Mavis," Zeref hissed as he headed to the door. He stopped next to Acnologia, "You know what will happen to her," he whispered.
"Yes, do you want me to thank you for that?" he growled cynically.
"When it happens... you know where to send her, somewhere that she'll always be welcome," he said.
"I would rather die than accept your help," Acnologia growled.
"You will regret those words one day," Zeref hissed leaving.
"I'm certain," Acnologia growled.
Zeref walked out the door and through the woods, leaving an absolutely shocked Mavis and three stunned guys.
