SPECULATION

No one knows how the fire was made that gave the power to gwyn, Nito, Witch of Izalith, and  pygmy. Its possible a double agent dragon created the flame so that the Gwyn, Nito, and the witch of Izalith wipe out the dragons and then after that recreate the dragons. So sometime before Dark Souls 1 a warrior hears about this and travels to the Mansion of the Dragons (Castle of Dragons whatever...) to hunt this dragon down. As you get there the dragon is painting a picture, and then it reveals it name...Ariamis.

This is just theory i watched a bunch of lore videos, and then added them together.
