Long before the dragon city soared above the clouds—before it became a place of secrets, silence, and smoldering power—there was a time when fire, harmony, and hope blazed together under the same sky.
In an ancient age, now lost to history, dragons lived fractured—divided into proud clans scattered across volcanic peaks and scorched valleys. War and isolation defined their lives. Magic was feared. Trust was rare. And the name of ponykind had long faded into myth.
But there are still whispers in the lava caves and mountain winds—whispers of a different time.
Emberis is a young dragon born into the Ashenfang Clan, a proud warrior family known for strength, not curiosity. But Emberis is different. He doesn’t believe in endless war or blind tradition. He dreams of something more—of peace, of unity, of the strange, impossible legends passed down from the embers of forgotten stories.
Everything changes the day he uncovers a hidden cavern beneath the mountains, newly exposed by a quake. Inside, he finds an ancient relic: a glowing orb covered in ancient symbols, sealed beneath molten stone for generations. When he touches it, the world shifts.
In a blinding vision of fire and light, Emberis sees a forgotten memory carved into the magic of time itself—a memory of six powerful ponies and a dragon standing together against the darkness. Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship; Rainbow Dash, fearless and loyal; Pinkie Pie, joyful and wild-hearted; Applejack, strong and true; Rarity, graceful and wise; Fluttershy, gentle yet brave… and Spike, a dragon not feared, but loved. They fought not as strangers, but as friends—united with ponies, dragons, and even wolves in an alliance forged by trust, laughter, and sacrifice.
The vision leaves Emberis changed—both in spirit and in body. The relic marks his scales with a symbol none in his clan can read, and the power within it begins to awaken something deep inside him. But when he returns to tell the elders, they reject his story. They call the vision dangerous, a trick of lost pony magic meant to weaken dragonkind. They warn him to forget it, to return to the old ways—or be cast out.
But Emberis can’t forget what he saw. The vision of Spike and Twilight speaks to something deep within him. He believes their legacy is real—and unfinished.
Haunted by glimpses of the past and driven by the hope of something better, Emberis sets out beyond his clan's borders. Along the way, he encounters a brilliant unicorn historian who still believes in the stories of Harmony, and a stoic wolf warrior whose ancestors once fought beside dragons in an age of glory and ruin. Together, they seek out the truth behind the Ember Flame, the relic’s origin, and the ancient alliance that once brought three powerful species together under one banner.
But the past is not only full of hope—it is full of shadows. An ancient force, sealed away during the time of Twilight and her friends, stirs once more, feeding off division, fear, and forgotten hatred. If Emberis fails, the fragile spark of unity may be extinguished forever.
“My Little Pony: Origins of the Ember Flame” is a sweeping prequel adventure set generations before Secrets of a Dragon City. It uncovers the lost legacy of Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and the Mane Six—revealing the truth behind a buried alliance, a magical relic, and the dragon whose destiny is tied to the harmony they once fought to protect.
