Halcyon: The Reign of Princess Twilight SparkleHad Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle ruled Equestria for 27,000 years, it would not have been long enough. The exact chronology of her reign has never been officially established and remains a matter of debate.What is certainly beyond debate is that most, if not all of that long expanse of time (for long it must have been) was a veritable Halcyon. A manifest paradise for those lucky enough to have lived through it. And who knows, why should Gen 5's view of Gen 4 be our view? Maybe Opaline never reared her ugly horn. Perhaps after a perfectly reasonable length of rule, Princess Twilight Sparkle retired in favor of Princess Flurry Heart, or a daughter of Flurry Heart. Ponies rulers clearly preferred to choose their successors based upon ability and not upon heredity, and it seems likely that Princess Twilight Sparkle would not have bucked that particular trend.It is fertile ground for speculation, anyway. The Halcyon of Equestria will last forever, it lives on in the hearts of all true ponies.
