The thing about that? I recall Pretch mentioning "all we have to show for it are a pair of unreliable brats" to Warrod in chapter 4. I think Zeira is alive, and if you ask why its the wording.

If Mashima wanted to make it more ambigious if Zeira was alive or dead he would have had him say something like "we went to get an S-Class treasure and that's all we have to show for it", the response gives the same sign that he's clearly irritated, but it doesn't say "she's alive/she's dead" while saying "pair" points more to being alive.

What my basic point is that I've seen things in Zero and the main manga that make it seem like Zeira isn't dead in the slightest. I mentioned my reasons on this comment: http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:CNBA3/Fairy_Tail_Zero_6_review#comm-214587
