[ Well, Zeref has two necklaces, counting the silver locket? necklace. He was already somewhat near the city, creeping, and considering going into the city to buy food, hopefully before the Death Preying flared up again. But when his necklace started making an absolutely ungodly noise and he saw the monsters... well, he still doesn't know how death works in this city, and he'll be damned if something happens to Fairy Tail in general and Natsu in particular before they have a chance to kill him.
Zeref slowly made his way into the west side of the city. As he turned onto a side street, creatures lept out in fron of him, grinning that insane grin. Zeref thought they looked vaguely like Nemesis. If they were... ]
Leave. [ Zeref said sharply, his eyes shifting from black, to red, small black circles surrounding the pupils of his eyes. Killing other humans (and animals that don't know any better) may not be his favorite thing to do, even if he now has less reservations about it following his new canon point... but monsters? Monsters that were rampaging through a city and posed a threat to him, as well? He won't lose a damn bit of sleep tonight. The monsters, of course, didn't appear to be heeding his warning. Zeref's outline began glowing black, small wisps of black, entropic energy radiating from his body, his features growing darker by the second. ]
Make your first shot count, then. You won't get a second.
