What are your thoughts on what happened to the alicorns in g5?

[ahiquqbqi 10]

We all know that alicorns live forever. Accordingly, Twilight, Luna, Celestia, Cadence, and Flurry Hart must reside somewhere in the g5 universe. Do you have any thoughts and theories about what happened to them in the g5 universe?

In the post credit scene of the G5 movie, we see a sparkly track of hoofprints appear. I'm guessing that was Twilight (also Twilight was horographically shown in some episode, I havent gotten there yet).

Another (sadder) theory is that they simply died. Remember, magic was removed from Equestria because the three ponykinds weren't getting along. That probably included the alicorns' magic, meaning that they lost their immortality eventually died as well. I really loved all of the princesses in G4, but, unfortunately, this is the most likely possibility.

Make Your Mark clearly indicates that Opaline Arcana was a contemporary of Princesses Celestia and Luna, and was even spurned by them as a filly. Opaline was very, very ancient by the time of Make Your Mark.

She survived without her magic throughout all the years Twilight Sparkle's spell was in effect. 

I don't believe that continent sized wards dampening the manifestation of magic would by itself be enough to deprive an Alicorn of her immortality. 

So where did they all go?

It's probably meant to be mysterious, so these are just theories, my opinions;

- It may be something like the Elves in Tolkien's Middle Earth, either taking the ship back to Valinor or going to the Halls of Mandos. 

- Maybe after a certain duration of time, an Alicorn is compelled by instinct, magic or firm conviction to a tradition to which we're not privy, to go find a cave. There she might meditate endlessly on the sun, or the moon...or Love. 

- Or Luna "returned" to THE Moon, or Celestia became one with the Sun. 

- Maybe like the cottage of Tom Bongmaker, they are hiding in plain sight but are either unable or not disposed to interfere anymore for some reason the rest of us could never understand. 

If there is no mystery, there is no magic. 

However, in the hologram she created, Twilight Sparkle did mention that she would be with "you". 

I believe that Alicorns are at least somewhat prescient. Twilight Sparkle may well have had some idea of who would be watching, thousands of years later. 

Consider the God Emperor Leto II's message to the Bene Gesserit in Heretics of Dune. He had the message written on the wall of a hidden storehouse, thousands of years before it would be rediscovered. Twilight's message is very similar.

Remember that when Twilight Sparkle became an Alicorn, Princess Celestia took her off into a bizarre astral realm of cosmic flat screen TV's. Maybe they go there. 

It's up to the imagination. You decide where they went, but for Celestia's Sake, don't make it a boring fate.
