Good.

[ Zeref patiently listened, and closed his eyes as he heard Jellal's story. So... Another group of fools who believed and latched on to one of the many myths and legends about him. Zeref was an incredibly powerful wizard, yes, maybe even the most powerful. Such power, in combination with his sudden disappearance, inevitably leads to speculation, which leads to rumors, which leads to myths. ]

I'm sorry that happened to you. [ Zeref replied, quietly. ] But what I am even more sorry about is that your captivity, and everyone they hurt, was for nothing.

[ Zeref finds a nearby tree, and places his hand against it. It felt odd, being able to touch a tree without it dying on contact. ]

It's unfortunate. Your captors, Grimoire Heart... All chasing myths and legends about me. Just as the Keys to unseal me were nothing but useless artifacts, the R-System wouldn't have worked anyway.

[ Zeref turned back to Jellal, frowning. ]

You can't resurrect someone who was never dead to begin with. Just as you can't unseal someone who was never sealed.
