The Red King Infernious has ordered that all fillies that reach the age of ten must be taken to the castle to be branded. The white hot iron of his dictatorship is felt by every pegasus in Brandsfield.
On Candibomb's tenth birthday, she escaped the grasp of the king's guards. Flying free on her own, she sees the world for its true beauty.

Alas, her adventure must come to an end. Infernious' guards have been searching all of Equestria for her, bribing anyone who would help them.

Candibomb must return to Brandsfield and save her family.
