You know something doesn't add up if the Dragons disappeared from on July-7-777 that means Sting & Rouge was probable the same age as Wendy when she was race and trained by Grandeeney and can't possibly received the Lacrimas and defeated there dragons at that time since Dragons and there children live in solitude. Maybe after there where abandoned by there Dragons they where implanted with the lacrama then went in search for there Dragons and killed them. it would be crazy if they where to able to defeat there Dragons from the start at a young age but Natsu said that did you lose your dragons from 777 Sting answers Natsu "Not exactly" which mean they've defeated them from the start!
