Around X686, years before Mavis founded the Fairy Tail Guild, she first met Zeref while contemplating on her next actions stumbled upon him bathing at a pond. He quickly dressed intent on leaving her alone so she wouldn't suffer the effects of his curse. Surprisingly, she deducted the nature of his 'magic' and guessed that it was a curse cast upon him. She was able to ease his loneliness by summoning an illusion of different kinds of animals. After these, Zeref agreed on teaching her and friends magic.

Ten years later, they met again. Mavis was so happy and excited to meet him and had leaped up to hug him much to his surprise. During this meeting, Zeref revealed himself as the infamous Black Wizard Zeref which at first she didn't believe. After learning that she had performed an incomplete version of Law, he informed her that she was cursed with the Curse of Contradiction like him hence she is immortal and will not age.

As Mavis saw how Zeref contradict himself while talking about starting a war with her, she felt she could relate to his suffering. She hugged him tight and told him they will be together forever.

After Zeref being defeated by his brother Natsu, Mavis says she still loves him despite everything he had done and hopes they could be with each other forever. She claimed that if only she had believed his love for her before, she could've ended his suffering. Zeref then realizes that to end his life and suffering, he has to accept Mavis' love for him because love is the greatest contradiction to their curses. They confessed their love for each other and shared a kiss. He told her how happy she made him and tells her to live on without him. He started to disappear but notices that she also starts to fade away with him realizing that his love for her killing her for the second time.
