It was March X696, two years after the end of the Second Trade War.
Because Magicians were involved in this Trade War, it ultimately led to a major reshuffling of power among the various lords and nobles throughout the Fiore Kingdom and even the Ishgar continent!
At the same time, seeing the powerful individual might of Magicians, the Magic Council ERA issued an order that after the Second Trade War, large-scale armed conflict between Magic Guilds was absolutely forbidden.
Any conflicts would be resolved through negotiation and mediation.
Meanwhile, in Magnolia Town, Fiore Kingdom, at the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Please, Guild Master, give this child a name!"
A gentle woman lay on a sickbed, holding a newborn, adorable baby.
She spoke softly to the petite Guild Master Mavis, who, ten years ago, had used the incomplete Black Magic 'Law' in a battle against the dark Magic Guild Blue Skull to protect everyone, which caused her body to stop growing.
"Then let's call him Makarov! A gentle king."
Mavis thought for a moment, then spoke gently with a smile.
Indeed, one very important reason why Mavis, after being awakened from her grave by the magic of the Fairy Tail Guild, unreservedly and unconditionally trusted the Guild's Third Guild Master, Makarov, was because Makarov had grown up under her 'watch,' and even his name was given by her, Mavis.
"Makarov?!"
"That's truly a good name…"
"Then Makarov will be entrusted to you, Guild Master Mavis, from now on."
"I hope you will do your best to… take care of him… until he grows up."
The gentle woman lying on the sickbed, who was also Yuri Dreyar's wife and Makarov's biological mother, Rita Dorea, after exhausting her last bit of strength and holding on to her last breath, finally lost all her energy once she got what she wanted from Mavis.
She fell heavily onto the sickbed with a thud, her face terrifyingly pale, as if she had lost all color and… vitality.
"Rita! Rita!!"
"Pull yourself together, Rita!"
At this moment, Yuri, who had been standing proudly in the sickroom, smiling and watching everything, enveloped in happiness, finally panicked.
He knelt beside the sickbed in one swift motion, gripping his wife's soft hands tightly, and loudly called out his wife Rita's name.
"…"
Unfortunately, Yuri's calls were met with no response.
"She seems to have exhausted her strength."
The doctor nearby saw this and spoke softly to Yuri.
"Please, no matter what, save her…"
Yuri's eyes were bloodshot as he pleaded with the doctor.
"No! It's not like that!"
"No!!"
On the other side, Mavis, as the Guild Master of the Fairy Tail Guild, upon seeing Rita, who was limp on the bed, completely devoid of life, as if she would die any second, seemed to recall something unpleasant.
Her body trembled as if in shock, and large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks…
"I need to leave here, I need to leave here…"
Not long after, amidst everyone's anxiousness, Mavis suddenly clutched her head and cried out in pain.
Then, disregarding everyone's attempts to stop her, she resolutely ran out of the Fairy Tail Guild's sickroom and into the forest outside Magnolia Town.
"Mavis! Wait…"
"Where are you going, Mavis…?"
Precht and Warrod saw this and shouted at the departing Mavis.
But Mavis paid no attention to them.
Her mind was filled with the words Black Wizard Zeref had spoken to her when they met for the second time…
After using the incomplete Black Magic 'Law,' she, Mavis, was no longer a normal person; she was an immortal 'blessed' by the ankhseram god's curse.
However, immortality itself violates the laws of nature; no one can escape paying a price for it.
The price those cursed by the 'ankhseram god' had to pay was…
