According to Mard Geer, END created Curses. Was that a lie too? I'm not sure how I feel about so much of what we've been told being just lies.

By the way, I'm really eager to know more about Layla. Zeref included her in his list of friends are she supposedly died the day she opened the Eclipse Gate, so I'd say we're far from knowing everything about her.

I've thought Natsu & co. came from the past for most of the series, so it's no surprise. Not only due to Freed's runes, but mostly because of all that "dragons have been extinct for a long time" that used to come up often early on.
