@Misaki And if Zeref really was his dad, it makes you wonder why he abandoned him. And who was Natsu's mom? What if Mavis was Natsu's mom? O.O Mavis and Zeref might actually be connected somehow. I barely believe my theory, though. :P And then everything goes back to Igneel...how did he find him? Where is he now? Did he know Zeref or Mavis? If we knew when Igneel found Natsu we would know how old he actually is. Wendy's age is the only one which is shown. Since she's 12 years old (19 if you count the timeskip) that means her dragon left her at a much younger age than all the rest. I think. And about the timeskip, all of the people who were on Tenrou Island are still the same age, right? Which means that all of their birthdays that passed didn't count since time froze for them. Right? That part about the timeskip confused me. :S
