Every parent must deal with the growing up of their child. In Flamescar's case, this includes telling the pony he has raised as his own daughter about her origins.
Dragons and ponies haven't mixed well since the failed treaty hundreds of years in the past. However, she doesn't seem to see that way. So when three ponies show up at their cave, seeking shelter for the night, Flamescar hopes that his daughter will realize why they are so untrustworthy.
Suddenly, a chain of events occurs that will leave the lives of both the dragon and his daughter changed forever, with no sign of things going back to how they were.
