After devoting the past few chapters to Irene and Erza, the upcoming chapter 517 of "Fairy Tail" may finally bring the spotlight back to Natsu as it is alleged that Lucy will confess her love for him. 

Avid fans of "Fairy Tail" finally confirmed their suspicions that Irene and Erza are mother and daughter after all. While the revelations made in the last few chapters, without question, provided a good amount of entertainment to "Fairy Tail" fans, the latest reports claim that the upcoming chapter 517 of "Fairy Tail" will bring the spotlight back to Natsu.

It is said that Igneel will warn Natsu that he will die once his Demon Seed and dragon counterpart have successfully merged. According to reports, Igneel will reveal that there would be no problem about the fusion if Natsu were in his best physical condition. However, as his body is weak, proceeding with the fusion may result in his death.

However, the succeeding events will soon favor Natsu's chance of survival as, allegedly, he will feel some warmth after Lucy and Happy touch him and encourage him to fight. Furthermore, it is alleged that it is at this point when Lucy will confess to Natsu that she has always loved him.

Meanwhile, other sources predict that Natsu and his companions will meet with Mavis. It is only then when Lucy, Juvia, Happy, and Porlyusica will learn about the death of Makarov. However, after having their moment of grieving, the four will then beg Mavis to save Natsu from his ordeal and imminent death.

It is also alleged that the upcoming chapter will bring Gray back to his senses as he will realize that his battle with Natsu was senseless as they should have helped the Fairy Guild in their bigger battle instead.

Will Lucy really profess her love for Natsu? Can Mavis save Natsu? What will Gray do now that he has gathered back his senses?
