How exactly did August survive if he was abandoned as a baby? Its not like a baby can hunt or feed itself without help. And I didn't see any wild animals taking him in the flashbacks either.

If you just abandon a baby in the wild, its going to die if it doesn't get fed. It doesn't matter if he is the child of Zeref and Mavis, a baby simply can't live off of magical power alone....
