Who Are Zeref And Mavis?
Zeref Dragneel is the most feared magician in the world of ‘Fairy Tail‘. He is known as the Dark wizard as he uses the most destructive and dangerous Balck magic. He is Natsu Dragneel’s older brother and has been alive for over 400 years.
Zeref has done many atrocities and wishes to die to atone for them. But due to the curse imposed on him, he can neither die nor love anyone. This course is known as the contradictory curse or the curse of Ankhseram.
Mavis Vermillion is the first master of Fairy Tail and a co-creator of the guild. She is carefree and has a childlike appearance. She was sealed in a Lacrima many years ago and was only freed by Cana’s efforts.
Mavis has been alive for more than 100 years and has stopped growing. She was also cursed with the same curse as Zeref. Let’s understand how they both got that curse.
How Did Mavis And Zeref Get Cursed?
Ankhseram is a god who rules over life and death. The curse is given by him when someone meddles with another’s death. For instance, if someone were to try to bring someone back from the dead, he could be cursed. This curse makes the victim immortal and causes the victim to unintentionally kill people around him.
Ironically this curse can be controlled if the victim loses value for human life. This is why it is known as the contradictory curse.
Zeref Dragneel tried to bring back Natsu, his younger brother from the dead. He used dark magic to do so and was then cursed. Zeref was stuck in the body of a teenager and due to his curse, killed many people unintentionally.
Mavis Vermillion tried to use one of the three grand magic of Fairy Tail to save her friend Yuri and was cursed with the same curse. Both Zeref and Mavis have been stuck in the body they had before they were cursed and have killed people unintentionally.
Zeref and Mavis both are immortal and are victims of this curse. As a result, they cannot kill each other or cannot be killed by anyone else either.
