Some people say the fire King wasn't always bad. When he was young he lost to his mother to a dragon and has never seen her since no one knows if she is dead or not though. And his father was a drunkard who couldn't wait another second to drink some whiskey. His dad would lash out on him and beat his son half to death for stupid reason like picking flowers to put on there moms grave. His excuse was that his son didn't live up to Kingly expectations by picking flowers. But he loved going to school and was friends with most of everyone but when one person saw the scars on him it spread like wildfire. First it went through the entire school then the kingdom then other kingdoms and the king took his son out of school and out him in a jail cell for home schooling not aloud to see anyone. Then when his dad finally died he became Kong and he was ruthless. He instantly started to try to take over other kingdoms and drafted kids under 15 for the battles. He put harsh taxes on his country just to feed his army slightly the rest went towards a secret saving account know one knew what it was for. Some think it was for his long lost mother he had been thinking about all the time in his jail cell. She was the only one he still loved on the planet and the only one who could derive him from these horrible ways without killing him. His mother loved the dragons and had a special bond with them like no one had ever seen, she even rode on one before she had the accident. So then the fire king brought down every place they could to check the records of who lived there to see if it was the fire Kings mom. Although they never ever killed anyone except the soldiers of the land they conquered even if they spat in there face.
This is why the fire kingdom is like this and this is why we have to stop them, said Ezra.
