so first things first.. if you go through A, you come out B. Go through B come out A. let's take a walked few hundred years into the past. Anna (Lucy's ancestor) sent the five first generation dragon slayers into the future using the Eclipse gate. At the time the Eclipse gate was somewhere in a random forest. meanwhile, Crocus was built around that portal over 400 years. (portal A) The Eclipse gate that was in Crocus was actually only one of the two gates. where all the dragons exited from. so does that mean a dragon can walk through one and come out the same portal a few hundred years in the future, with it's butt in the same spot in the past? no. otherwise, there would have randomly been a line up of dragon in the middle of a forest, in a waiting line to get to the future. The portal the dragons entered would have had to been in a place where the dragons would already be, like an open plain. (portal B) If the dragons entered B, then they had to come out A. this explains why, when the portal in Crocus was destroyed, they disappeared. however, Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting and Rogue, didn't. Even though they are all from the same time as the dragons. Meaning that they were sent through A, where anna opened the gate in a forest, but they must have come out B, in an open plain, which in the time gap for 400 years, also grew vegetation. Explaining why Natsu was looking for Igneel in a grass plain and Wendy looked for Grandeney in a forest-ish area when she found, Edo Jellal. To top this off, I found a picture that showed the First gen slayers and said. "My dear daughter lucy, one day you will learn, the hardest part of being a celestial mage. Isn't about opening a gate. it's about closing one when you not yet ready to say goodbye." despite being a fan art, this proves that if lucy (maybe Yukino) had to close/destroy the other Eclipse gate, that that would be the one to send they slayers back. the fact that they didn't disappear when the dragons did, itself proves there is another gate.
