Vol1/Chapter34/Epilogue

Summary
When the members of Fairy Tail got off the Tartaros cube and made their way to the remains of their guild Makarov shocks them all by disbanding the guild without much explanations.

They decide to disobey his orders and rebuild. Erza and Laxus step up and agree to share Master duties. Natsu has lots of nightmares which Gray tries to help him with but it isn't long before Natsu begins to slip back to his earlier depression. Kai is yet to be born but Natsu misses him very much. Gray commissions a portrait of Kai from Reedus for him.

Gray finally decides to go talk to Silver who has been staying with Lyon. He asks Natsu to go with him and they walk to Margaret Town.

Natsu tells Gray that he saw Zeref at and at. He tells him that he has been having dreams of when he was little. Even though he doesn't remember much about them he does know that Zeref is in them. He relates how when Zeref saw him for the first time he knew his name and had even mentioned how he'd grown and said that he had missed him even though Natsu himself did not recognize him. He tried to explain how Zeref looked at him like he meant something to him and how he felt something in return.

Natsu discussed how Zeref had been looking for the book of E.N.D and how he thinks that the Black Wizard now has it in his possession. He thinks that Zeref is up to something and that it will be up to them to stop him.

He also told Gray how Zeref had been able to tell that his soul was different. He expresses his belief that he does somehow know Zeref even though he has no memory of it.

Natsu reveals that he is planning on going on a training journey once they return home. He feels that he needs to prove to himself that he can stand on his own. Gray unsuccessfully tries to talk him out of it.

When they arrive at Lamia Scale Natsu declares that when he returns from his trip he would like to take Gray on a vacation so they can put Tiamat behind them and fully claim each other as mates. He encourages Gray to go inside telling him he deserves to have a relationship with his father. Natsu peers through a window and when he feels everything is going well he makes his way towards Sabertooth to see Sting.
