I'm confused
If the dragon family kicks out. the young dragon when he or she, Molt Down. why Ember's father does not let her participate in the Gauntlet of Fire. if Molt Down It is an initiation in which the young dragon begins to live alone. Ember could participate in the Gauntlet of Fire without her father's permission

Could be him being an overprotective father in a jerkish way.

well Embers dad was pretty big I’m pretty sure he could take on any predator that tried to attack his daughter so he saw no need to kick her out

Do you think people break off all contact with their perants the moment they move out?

I do not think so

I will tackle this in my story but I'm glad this came out when it did. Puberty be a bitch

I think that smolder just pranking spike

I admit that that is a good point. but would be boring if the dragons were exactly like humans.

They never said you couldn't come back, just that you're getting kicked out; my best guess is that she was kicked out but came back around her teens
