"Natsu!" Lucy cried.

"Hey, Lucy. How've you been?" The war was over. Fairy Tail won. Zeref's army had been forced to retreat. Currently, everyone was in the guild hall reflecting on what could have been a disaster.

"Natsu, I'm glad you're okay!"

Lucy tried to give Natsu a hug, but he pushed her away.

"What the hell, flame brain?" Gray asked. "What's wrong with you?"

"Lucy...everyone. I need to tell you something."

The guild was silent. Now or never, Natsu thought.

"During the war, I found out...I'm E.N.D."

"WHAT?" Everyone said at once.

"Zeref was the one that told me. He explained everything."

"Natsu, you can't be E.N.D., Zeref must have been lying!" Lucy objected.

"No, he wasn't. Another thing...I'm his revived little brother."

"WHAT?"

"You don't even look like Zeref!" Gajeel pointed out.

"I don't know, either. Must have been the reviving thing."

"I didn't need my dad's Ice Devil Slayer magic to defeat you, flamethrower!"

"Gray, this is serious." Erza said, glaring at him.

"R-Right! Sorry Erza!"

"Lucy." Natsu began. "I also found something out about your mother."

"My mother? Layla? What does Zeref know that I don't?"

"It's a long story. In short...on July 7th, X777, your mom...Layla...opened the door of Eclipse and helped the dragons reach the future era."

"July 7th X777? My mom? Eclipse? Dragons?" Lucy was in a state of shock and disbelief.

"Yes. I'll explain the rest to you later. But I thought you had a right to know that."

"Is there anything else you needed to tell them? Like your age?" Happy reminded him.

"Right. Guys, I'm 400 years old. But...so are Gajeel and Wendy, and Sting and Rogue from Sabertooth."

"Wait. What did Zeref say exactly?" Wendy asked.

"He said 'You are all children who were born 400 years in the past' after talking about us."

"How can I be 400 years old?" Gajeel screamed.

"Ha ha, you're old!" Natsu teased.

"You're old too!" Gray hollered. Lucy sighed.

"Oh! I should probably tell Sting and Rogue in Sabertooth too!" Natsu said, running off with Happy.

"Wait, Natsu!" Lucy objected.

"It's okay, Lucy, let him go." Mirajane said. "Though he may not act like it...he's still coming to terms with it as well."
