Prologue

As a child, I could only think about how much I appreciated what other people had done for me. You see, I was abandoned as a filly, but not by any choice from either of my parents. In fact, it was much more like I was forcefully orphaned. My mother was a Pony, and my father was a dragon. Such a strange thought, that a pony and a dragon could mate. My father was very much in love with my mother, and he turned himself into a pony so that they could be together.

Trouble began when I was born. My mother died while giving birth to me, leaving my father alone to raise me. He gave me one of his dragon names- Riost, and I began my life with him for as long as I could. What came about, however, was that my father had left the dragon society in order to be with my mother, and he was branded as a social outcast to most people.

One dragon, who was very self-righteous, decided that it was a disgrace for a dragon to fall to such depths, to have the name of the race of dragons be tarnished by my father's existence. That dragon hunted down my father and murdered him while I hid nearby.

I was left there, a normal pony in all appearances, with the only exception my dragon wings where a normal Pegasus pony might have feathered wings. I lived there for nigh on a week without food before they found me, an Alicorn male and female, with their two children, wandering through the woods.

They found me, and adopted me, and I was only able to live because of their generosity.

I am Riost Knightstar, and this is my story.
