I had a feeling they were going to be doing the whole Zeref is Natsu's creator type of thing. this chapter made me feel bad for Zeref rather than hate him. Sure he's the black wizard but all he wanted was his brother back and yet people made him out to be this guiltless killer.... I guess that's where Natsu get's his determination to protect his friends from.
