In the high ranges of Theon, two young dragons are secluded by their Mother's watchful intentions. She portrays humans as vile creatures, filling their minds with a stain ingrained from her memory. Humans are not to be trusted. As time goes on, Aton, the older of the two takes interest in a city within the clouds, taking flight to and from it as he pleases. These flights have become almost frequent until Mother's intentions are provoked. Expressive years of telling her side of the story are fragmented when an orange ship follows Aton home one evening.
