Eat well, grow big and strong, find a nice mare to settle down with, have a bunch of foals, and be happy. I love you, Big Mac. The inferno spread so fast, she barely had any time to react before their only escape was cut off. Orange Sorbet, an Apple by marriage, huddled close to her husband, Alexander Apple. The flames licked at their hooves from all sides, burning them with their destructive touch. It was getting hard to breathe as smoke filled the air. Her one solace was that her children were safe in the house, and not here in the barn. With her last conscious breath, she looked at her husband. The barn started to collapse around them.
