We honestly don't know quite yet, do we? Magic is the most of what Friendship is, so perhaps only Twilight has the Alicorn capabilities? We don't know.

 

And I don't know, what WOULD happen? Would Friendship cease to exist? I wouldn't think so. Would there just be a new line of the bearers of the elements of harmony? Perhaps. We just don't know. I don't know, you don't know, how would anybody know?

 

This is all just a theory, nothing more, nothing less. Just the rambles of someone that wishes to explore more of the world of MLP, because it's rich to the core with lore that has yet to be discovered.

Still, it's an interesting theory. Whether it can be true or not, I appreciate you taking the time to make this blog and answer some of my questions, Avery.

Simple really, they are a part of the element of Friendship just as much as Twilight is. Friendship, in the beginning, knew that their power would be too great alone, so while it went dormant in the ground and made the Tree of Harmony, it knew it had to be shared, that the others would know that Friendship really is powerful, but alone would be too destructive. Together, it can bring the harmonious vibes within the heart, where peace and even hardships become the source of how one grows, and becomes stronger.

 

The Teacher knows of how it should be handled, but the student is the one to carry the legend, to bring about new ways of thinking. The Original Friendship knew that alone, it couldn't be taken correctly. Twilight and her friends, carried that legend, and made it even more of a purposeful magic that everyone knows, even if they don't really realize it.

 

 

I do know of the Greek legends and most of how they work. But the MLP Universe seems to only be influenced by those Greek Legends, not necessarily completely ruled by it. Some mythical monsters and locations appear in the world, such as Cerberus and Tartarus. But, this world has its own mythology, perhaps just influenced by another, which is I think that the Elements were first. Just like Greek has its many gods and goddesses that shaped the world, I put the same concept, only for the elements instead.

 

But... who knows? Perhaps there are more Greek influences within this theory, perhaps not? It's really... up to the person. Because a story is told, generations over, but never the same as the original, it is changed, many a time, though not on purpose.

Than that would mean the remaning five has a greater calling than if Twilight is an Alicorn due to her friendship? Also what would happen to Twilight should her friends perish because of natural causes?

I agree it's not completely ruled by it. I do believe however that the many world building and plot elements they use in their story can have some influence or trace from the Greek legends themselves for the most part.

From what I could gather on the matter of the Greek's view on the elements, it seems to have been for the most part considered the substances that have formed the basics of their environment, and notably greek philosophers debated which of the three elements in fire, water, and air created the planet while a 4th argued that it was a substance that was not discovered by Greece. While It is certainly  not a given that such a thing will be explored on the show, it does add one interesting possibility to what we could see in the show if it continues to be influenced by Ancient Greece and their tales.

Hmm an interesting theory especially on the element of friendship and how Twilight's ascension could be the element of friendship accepting her as a host. Do you know perhaps if there is a Greek legend or so on it? The reason is because the show uses a lot of references from the Greek mythology on the show and that theory of yours can have a stronger case of being true.

Finally, I would like to ask about the role of Twilight's friends in this if you will? It is only to provide a means for your theory to be stronger.
