"Well, there's a... long story attached to it, but... without a child, I cannot age or die of illness, although I can be killed. After the death of my son, and my wife's leaving me... I was never presented the opportunity... to die of old age or sickness. I have died in Wonderland, though, when an ice giant killed me as I was protecting my friend Tim the Human Pony. Earth pony. Tim the... Earth pony."
