First, obviously, My Little Pony is owned by Hasbro. Ye gads I wish I owned it, but that's just life.

Second, all of this occurs in a world that can be considered AU, after the time of Megan's departure. Megan dies and all of Ponyland suffers as a result. This is a world of End of the Dream (EoD), an RPG that you should probably go see. One of the interesting features of this world is that ponies are... different. After Megan's death, ponies are born with darker colors, deformities, and the like. Fire Drake is an example of this.

Third, some of the characters are owned by other players. The creator of EoD abandoned it several years ago, so her critical characters have been adopted by other members in order to keep the story going. Silver Dream, who is mentioned, is one of these characters, as is Fire Drake. Fire Drake was never really played, however, being just introduced before his owner's disappearance. I had very little to go on besides his appearance and the fact that he was abandoned at birth, so this is a little attempt of mine to get to know my character. Credit to creation, however, must go to Thyme.

Fire Drake is a blood red pony with a black salamander as a symbol. His hair is black with a red streak, and he has black ram's horns. Snapdragon is a dark purple pony with pink and red hair. If you would like help in visualizing Fire Drake, I just happen to have made a custom for him as well (I am quite fond of him). He can be seen at the MLP Arena in the customs gallery.

And now, onto the story. This occurs a few weeks before his introduction into EoD.
