So anyway, in the latest chapter, it was revealed that:

> Natsu and the 4 other Dragon Slayers from 400 years ago actually met some
> time before they were sent to the future. Quoting Zeref, most likely because
> of the dragons in their bodies making this stuff (I forgot the name) to
> prevent them from turning into dragons themselves, they have mostly
> forgotten about meeting.  
>  
>  Before they time travelled, they all seemed the same age. And Lucy's mother
> opened the gateway (I assume) just once for them all. She didn't have all
> keys and became ill until she died, so I think we can definitely assume she
> didn't do it again.  
>  
>  Then how is it that Sting & Rogue are generally the same age as Natsu in
> the past, yet have to catch up to Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy who are frozen
> (petrified, Fairy Sphere'd) for 7 years?

I mean, it could be a reason we don't know yet. Or am I just missing something
VERY simple?

question
fairy-tail
How old were Sting and Rogue relative to the other Dragon Slayers at this key point in the timeline?


Sting and Rogue are the same age as Wendy, in the manga the three are
currently about "20" in the latest chapter (I am excluding the +400 years). If
my memory serves right, Natsu & Gajeel are both "27".

Now the problem is working out the age different in the past, this isn't all
to hard. Wendy was "12" when she was first introduced (x784). The Dragon
Slayers arrived in (x777), so it's 12-7=5. Wendy was "5" years of age. Now
Sting and Rogue are the same age as her, so those three were "5" years old.
Now assuming I'm correct about Natsu's & Gajeel's age, they would've been 12
at the time.

Now I'm not sure if this answers the question, but I hope it does. Just keep
in mind that Fairy Tail has a habit of making 12 year old kids look even
younger than what they are. Easy way to tell is watch the Fairy Tail OVA 8.

Basically Wendy, Sting and Rogue were five before they got sent four hundred
years into the future, Natsu and Gajeel were, if you go by the guesstimated
ages, were eleven back then in x777. In x784, it's estimated that Wendy, Sting
and Rogue are 12 and Natsu and Gajeel are 18 along with Gray, while Lucy is 17
confirmed. In x791 Wendy would remain 12 while Natsu and Gajeel are still 18
and Sting and Rogue are 19. So there you have it, I don't know what their age
would be in the manga currently, but these are my estimates till year x791.
