User blog comment:Sargenttacos115/Natsu and Gajeel age Theory/@comment-76.169.61.239-20140806232905

Interesting theory. I am also curious about Natsu's relation to Zeref, primarily on how they know each other. The story says that Zeref disappeared 400 years ago (which happens to be the time of the dragon wars), where he decided to side himself from conflict and lost the will to kill. Since then, know has seen him and for him know Natsu guarantee's that Natsu has to be over 400 years. On the other hand, the manga mentions that the eclipse project uses magic from the book of Zeref so it may even be that he is not immortal, but maybe a time traveler. He might have even sent Natsu to the future in the hopes that he would someday be able to kill him. While it is no coincidence that Layla dying on the same year of the dragon disappearance, what was she doing with the portal, if she was. It can't be that she knew that these kids were traveling across time unless someone communicated with her from the past. There are so many possibilities with the various theories i read, but the problem is how does Gajeel fit into all this since he might be over 80.
