eek i just want the chapter to get here already. Lol I'm being impatient. Not wanting to finish these essays and studying for finals doesn't help either. I was looking for raws, but no luck =(

Spoiler:

I always have this worry since a dozen or so chapters ago that Fairy Tail will be ending after the next arc. Mashima stated chapter 261 how the next arc will have the most characters yet, with everything and everyone. Usually this means things may be winding down, the big finale to say. Also, there aren't huge plot points to develop anymore, other than the dragons and Zeref. We've found out who was controlling Jellal, and then who was kinda controlling Ultear. Hades was one of the culprits and he was defeated in the last arc, and Zeref was revealed finally. Mystogan's origin has been explained, along with Happy and Carla's. With the addition of the dragon slayers in this arc, and the reveal of all the zodiac keys, it could mean the final is approaching in an arc or two. I mean, it's almost at 300 chapters, which is a ton for most mangas, and longer than Mashima's previous work. I hope it doesn't end for a few more years at least, especially since it's doing really well in sales, but i guess i wouldn't be shocked.
