In the heart of Tenrou Forest, silence shattered under the hum of chaotic magic. Zeref stood trembling, his Curse of Contradiction unraveling. Life withered around him—flowers, insects, birds—all reduced to ash by his uncontrolled grief. He clutched his head, whispering in despair, 'Not again.' Unaware, familiar footsteps approached. A warm, steady hand closed over his. Panic flared in Zeref’s eyes, expecting death. Instead, radiant Light Magic surged, gentle as sunlight, halting the darkness. The curse froze, held at bay by the only presence that ever brought him peace.
