## Backstory

##### In Flames’ Temptation

Flames was born to king Max and queen Sharley in the dragon kingdom palace. Just one day later, Flames wakes up and wants to go exploring but is stopped by his mother. SHe asked where he was going and Flames replied he wanted to go see his dad. Sharley was very happy that Flames already knew how to talk and nuzzled him. She took him to see his father and told him he can already talk. On that same day, Flames was presented to the public as the future king.

Three years later, Flames was learning hunting in the forest with his hunting teacher, Kelden. Flames wanted to continue, but Kelden told him that they should return back, cause it was getting late. Flames was upset that his lesson ended, but Kelden promised to teach him fishing next time and that made him happy. When they got to the city, Flames was greeted by many but he ignored them and just kept going towards the palace. When he arrived at the palace, Flames ran straight to the throne-room, where he was greeted by his parents. Flames told his mother how he had jumped on Kelden and Sharley patted his head, proudly. Flames tried to get away, saying that he didn’t like when she did that but Sharley continued to pat him on the head. Soon, Flames was send to bed and the next morning he was exited for the days lesson, so he ran straight towards the throne-room. On the way, Flames heard his father outside and went to look out a window. He saw his father talking with a guard and wondered what they we’re talking about. When he saw them separate, Flames wanted to know what they talked about and kept running but on the way he bumped into someone. That someone happened to be the same guard his father had talk with outside. He asked about the talk with his father and the guard told him, he was invited to dinner by the king with his family. After hearing this, Flames turned away and ran strait to the throne-room, where his father was speaking with Kelden. Kelden moved closer to greet him but Flames ignored him and moved closer to his father. Flames asked his father if it was true what the guard hd told him and Max tried to explain, but Flames kept on going. Max got furious and yelled at Flames, when he called that guard nothing and insulted him. Because of this, Max punished him by grounding him. Flames was upset about this and tried to protest, but Max told him to go to his room. Upset, Flames ran back to his room crying. Soon Sharley arrived and talked with him, explaining why Max was so angry with him. Flames didn’t understand what his mother meant by the word friend, but Sharley said that he will understand. Flames stayed in his room all day, until that evening his mother came to get him and together they walked to the dinner-room, where king Max, captain Lorenzo and his family waited. The captains wife, Edith smiled to him saying that he looked like a fine young dragon and he felt emparrassed by her praises. Then, she introduced Flames to her daughter, Cross and Flames blushed when the small blue dragoness greeted him. Flames enjoyed Cross’ company and when they had to leave, he asked if she could come play again soon and Cross’ parents agreed to it together with Max and Sharley. After that Cross visited every weekend to play with Flames and he slowly started to understand what his mother had meant. One year later, after Cross’ mother had taken her home, a guard told Flames his parents wanted to speak with him. Once he got to them, SHarley told Flames that soon he will be a big brother for she was pregnant. Falmes was exited for his new brother or sister and couldn’t wait to tell about it to Cross. Sharley pushed him gently, saying he should go to bed but before Flames left he asked if he could name the baby and Sharley told him he could. For the next few month’s, Flames spend a lot of time with his mother, until one afternoon SHarley finally gave birth and layed one single pale-yellow egg. Flames asked was it a boy or a girl and Max told him it was a girl. 3 month’s after Flames’ sister, Caipirinha was hatched they’re parents we’re too busy to watch her, so Flames did it instead. Flames told Cross that Caipirinha was the best sister ever and one evening as they watched the sunset, Cross told Flames something. She told him that she was leaving the city for a while, because her grandfather had passed and they needed to look after her old grandmother. Flames was sad about this and asked how long will she be gone, but Cross didn’t know for sure. They sat together until Lorenzo came for Cross and she had to leave. Flames had grown to have deep feelings for Cross, but he didn’t know what they meant at the moment. The next morning, Flames watched the fresly fallen snow outside, thinking of Cross. While he was walking through the hallways, Caipirinha leaped on him and bit his tail. Flames smiled and kept his tail high up, so that Caipirinha had to jump up and down trying to bite it again.

Two years later, Flames and SHarley we’re about to leave for the temple, where Flames will start his first school year. Caipirinha wanted to come too but Sharley told her to stay home. Once they arrived, SHarley asked Flames if he was okay on his own and Flames agreed. After Sharley left, Flames watched as the guardians welcomed everyone to the temple. The earth guardian Jaka announced that they had a special student this year and asked Flames to come over to them. The guardians welcomed him to the school and asked what his element was. Flames told them it was fire and Flarion told him that he will be in his group. After this Flames returned back to the students and saw someone in the crowd, he didn’t believe to see. It was Cross. Flames was very happy to see Cross again and they talked about what had happened in the past two years. Cross told him that her grandmother passed away and they returned home. Her father had even returned back to his osition as captain in the palace. They continued talking until they we’re called by they’re mentor’s to join with they’re groups. Flames and Cross agreed to meet later and catch up some more. In the classroom, Flames looked for a place to sit, when a red dragoness asked him to sit next to her. The dragoness’ name was Aqua and she asked if he was prince and Flames nodded he was. Flames felt like the first day in school was turning into a fine day. He had been reunited with an old friend and maybe even made a new one.

Four years later, Flames was walking Caipirinha to her first day in school and told her that she needed to behave during the ceremony. Flames watched Caipirinha run inside, but didn’t go with her. Cross asked him didn’t he want to see her in the ceremony and Flames told her she’ll be fine without him besides he has seen the ceremony three times already. After school, Caipirinha told everything about the ceremony to Flames as they flew home.

Three years later, Flarion praised Flames of a job well done during target pragtice. When it came to the use of raw power, Flames was the best in his group. He will have two more years in school and after that he can focus on learning how to be king and his father had already spoke about this to him, also saying that one day he should choose a queen to rule by his side and Flames already knew, who he wanted as his queen. Cross. Flames and Cross had dated for a year now and even though they wanted to be alone, Caipirinha usually hang around them. One day, however Caipirinha seemed to be no longer interested in them as she didn’t want to go home with them after school. Flames soon found out why. She had made a new friend named Don. Flames introduced himself and Cross to Don and they talked a while, before Flames and Cross left.

At the graduation day, Flames left together with Cross who also graduated that day. After the ceremony, they we’re leaving home, but Caipirinha told them she will be meeting Don and Flames and Cross left without her. Back at the palace, Max and Sharley congratulated them both and later, Cross had to go home and promised to meet Flames later. The next day, Don and his parents came to dinner at the palace and Max had a private talk with Don’s mother, Crystal who had been his old childhood friend. After they left, Flames followed his mother and sister to his room. The next day, Flames was in the royal library, when he found a book about dark magic. He looked through it and found it interesting.

Five years later, Flames married Cross and she became a princess and the next future queen. Flames continued his royal lesson’s with his father, but he also looked more into the book about dark magic and even teaching himself some of the spells in it. One day, he found a possession spell that allowed the user to control any living creature. He wanted to test it and called a guard to him. Flames surrounded himself with dark aura and a black ooze started forming around his claws and teeth. He sliced the guards side and soon, the guard fell on the ground as his scales started to turn black. Soon he was completely balck and his eyes glowed red. This shadow-warrior asked what Flames wanted and Flames told it to hide until he needs him. As Flames wondered if he could make more of them, Cross called for him and he went out the library where she waited. Cross told him that she was pregnant and Flames was happy for the news. Together, they went to tell the king and queen. Sharley was so proud she licked Flames’ cheek and he had to move away. While Cross was being praised, Max had a word with Flames about him showing up to his lessons less and less everyday. Max told him that if he wanted to be king, but couldn’t finish before Flames growled that he will be king. He bushed his father on the ground and told him that someday he will tell him what he can’t do and stormed out of the room. As Flames walked through the hallways, he started to hear someone whisper in his head. It tells him that Max was never going to make him king, that it was just a lie to keep him happy. He should take the throne. Flames knew the voices we’re right, but he was gonna need help and called the earlier shadow-warrior to him. Flames asked it to bring more loyal followers and it left. Flames returned to his chambers, where Cross already slept.

Two years had passed and Cross had given birth to a little daughter. She and Flames named her Blue and even Don had moved into the palace after he and Caipirinha got engaged. One day, Blue arrived back to her parents room and told Flames that her grandfather had said he won’t be king and that made Flames angry as he darted out of the room towards the throne-room. He heard voices coming from inside and as he looked in, Flames saw Max speaking with Don and Caipirinha. Knowing what they we’re talking about, Flames parched in, shouting. Sharley tried to calm him down but Flames pulled himself away from her, saying no one is allowed to touch the king. After seeying how Flames acted towards his mother, Max decided to name Caipirinha the heir instead of him. Outraged, Flames charges out of the throne-room and back to his own. Cross asks him what happened and Flames told her. She tried comforting him, but Flames was only hearing a voice prompting him to take the throne.

The next day, Flames went inside the throne-room where Max was alone. He told him that he had come to take what’s rightfully his and attacks Max. Telling Max that he will tell everyone that an assassin had killed him and Flames had been too late to save him and before he died, Max had named him King. Within a heartbeat, Flames bit down on Max’s throat and killed him. After a moment, Flames called for help and soon he saw his mother in the doorway, watching him with horror in her eyes. She told calmly Lorenzo and the other guards, who we’re with her to place Flames under arrest. Flames was surprised and tried to explain, but Sharley snarled at him, telling that she saw everything. Staring at his mother, Flames let the guard take him away. Flames had to spend the night in the dungeons and in the morning, he stood trial. Sharley asked if he was sorry for his crimes and Flames told her he was not. With that, Sharley cast him in exile, never again allowed to enter the dragon kingdom. Flames followed the guards, escorting him but stopped to ask Cross to come with him but she denied him, hearthbroken. Angry, Flames left the palace and the kingdom.

A couple of weeks later, Flames managed to sneak in the palace and place poison into a fruit-bowl in the queens room. On his way out, Flames ran into his daughter and after a moment he walked away from her. As the whole palace was panicking over the death of the queen, Flames had reached the woods. In there, his Shadow-warriors joined him and looking back to the city, he promised to be back.

##### In Legend of Amber

Flames spend 3 years in the woods, turning any dragon who got in his way into a shadow-warrior until he had a whole army on his side. One day he decided it was time to take over the kingdom and he started by meeting three royal guards in the woods, who happened to be looking for him. He told them to join him, but they refused so he attacked them. Soon, he called the shadow-warriors to finish the job and during the fight, one of the guards; Derek managed to escape but Flames send a shadow-warrior after him. Flames arrived to the palace to find it abandonned. Many guards and servant we’re eather dead or infected by the shadow-virus. He also found the dead body of the same guard, who ran away from him. As he arrived to the throne-room, Don arrived there and the two of them fought. Flames was winning, until Don kicked him on the stomach and managed to escape. Outraged, Flames ordered his shadow-warriors to find Don and bring him back, so he can kill him.

3 years later, Flames found out that some dragon’s we’re plotting to over-throne him and send a shadow-warrior to kill them but so it looked like an accident. Flames arrived on the scene to find the traitorous couple had a son and feeling a little sorry for the young dragon and also remembering his daughter, Flames decided to took him in and raise him as his own.

10 years later, a shadow-warrior arrived to tell about the incounter with Amber and interested, Flames asked what she looked like. Hearing that the female looked similar to his sister, Caipirinha made him realize that she might be his niece and told the shadow-warrior to keep an eye on her. After he returned and informed Flames that Amber was on her way to the city looking for Don, he made a plan to lure her to the palace and send Red to do the job. A few days later, he returned and Amber and Angel had been taken prisoner. Red felt bad for betraying them, but Flames assured him that he will get over it.

A shadow-warrior asked Flames what he was going to do with the girls and Flames told him that he didn’t need the blue female, but he will use Amber to lure Don to the palace.

The next morning, Flames found out that Amber and Angel had escaped and Red was also missing. He got mad but knew they’ll be back and a few days later they did.

He arrived to the throne-room to find Amber there and talked to her, saying that the throne belonged to him. Red arrived in the throne-room, saying that the throne wasn’t his at all and smiling, Flames revealed to Red that he had ordered his parents murder, when he had thought it was an accident. He cave Amber one more change to join his side and give him her power necklace but she refused.

Flames fought them both and when he breathed fire towards Amber, Red saved by by getting in the way. Seeing him hurt, Amber’s powers activated and she created a shiled to protect both her and Red. Flames tried to attack her again, but a wave of light pushed him back and when he tried again, he couldn’t move and looking down realized he was turning to stone. Flames let out a long roar as he was covered completely. Flames statue was taken away from the palace and hidden in a cave far away from the dragon kingdom.

##### In Legend of Ember

When Flames was freed from his stone-prison, he felt weak. He didn’t regognize the dragoness who had set him free, until she revealed to be his daughter, Blue. She told him how she was teased for being the child of a murderer and she wanted to prove them wrong and that Flames was a wonderful king. Flames finds out that he had been living as a statue for over twelve years and Amber and Red we’re now King and Queen of the dragon kingdom and they had two kids and a third one was waiting to hatch and also they had taken in an egg, abandonned by it’s parents. Flames asked what happened to his Shadow-warriors and Blue told him how queen Amber had been healong them one by one but there were still some left. Flames told her that they will gather them together and take back what’s rightfully theirs.

Some years later, Flames decided it was time and togehter he, Blue and the shadow-warrior army walked to the dragon kingdom. As Flames arrived to the throne-room, he found Amber there. She told him to surrender but Flames told her to be careful, otherwise she will lose her precious children, who he had taken prisoner a while ago. Amber asked did Flames’ daughter set him free and for a moment, Flames didn’t remember what she talked about. After a while, he said it was her own mistake. Seeing Amber confused, he was about to tell her when Blue arrived. She was concern about the kids but Flames told her that they’re well-being was depending on they’re mother. After a moment however, Flames changed his mind saying that he’ll kill them anyway. Blue told him that the kids we’re no threat to him but Flames told her how he had thought Amber was no threat to him but she defeated him after all and even turned his son, Red against him. He told Blue that he will leave no one, not even children alive.

Suddenly, Blue slapped him with her tail and he fell on the ground. Flames leaped on Blue and pushed her on the ground, planning to kill her too. Flames soon saw the light coming from Ember as she healed Angel, who had become a shadow-warrior and his eyes narrowed with rage. He leaped towards them and Angel created a barrier of iced spikes. Flames couldn’t stop in mid-air and suddenly he was impaled by one of the ice spikes. He dropped to the floor as the ice melted and felt blood fill his mouth. Then, Flames saw the spirit of his mother, who was calling for him. Realizing that the pain was gone and he had become a child again, Flames followed his mother.
