The majestic stallion stood in the center of a scorched circle, his tail swishing as he drew slow, deliberate breaths. His powerful wings were folded tightly against his sides, quivering with each exhale, oblivious to the growing inferno within him.
Raising his head high, wings poised for immediate flight, he suddenly caught the sound of snapping branches. His ears flicked back as he swiftly turned, inadvertently setting the grass ablaze just inches from where a curious filly stood observing him.
Smoke curled from his nostrils and lips, hinting at the imminent eruption of flames. He groaned and lowered his head, struggling to contain the escalating heat building inside him. Pacing along the river bank, he shook his head as bursts of fire escaped his throat with a menacing hiss.
Though he didn't want to harm the filly, he felt an inexplicable urge to stoke her own flames. His newfound fire mirrored the ones that surrounded her, and her inquisitiveness only fueled his desire to share this connection.
"I'm just out for a stroll," he rumbled, as ash and soot settled on a nearby white flower. "Where's your mother?"
