User blog comment:Sargenttacos115/Natsu and Gajeel age Theory/@comment-98.109.242.227-20150103100853

After reading all of these comments, Natsu and Gajeel are the only 2 dragon slayers without a confirmed age but I don't think they're over 80, my first reasoning is because they made it sound like they had memories prior to X777 and were able to keep track of the years, second if they did come from the past, then that must mean wendy, sting and rogue all came from the past as well, which I don't think it's true because wendy knew mystogan as a child, plus wendy, sting, and rogue all have confirmed ages. Plus when the dragons came back through the eclipse gate, when atlas fought natsu, he even said he had no idea who he was, so if natsu was really from that time period and truly igneel's son, Atlas would have picked up on Natsu's scent the moment he crossed the gate. We also can't forget that their magic is one of the oldest forms of magic out there, plus if you read the recent chapter, (*Spoiler alert*) the dragons were inside their body the entire time, and even freed said that you can't hide your true nature from magic so even though natsu and gajeel are about 18 and 20 respectively (assuming anyway) the 400+ dragons were what prevented them from going through the runes and as to why Zeref knows who Natsu is, I'm just gonna blame that on Igneel
