Ancient legends are very prominent in MLP. For example, Celestia and Luna controls the sun and moon, and a thousand years is a very reccurring time period. The Yin-Yang was even in the original legend from the series premiere, meaning that a lot of the stories are very similar to ours, and true of course! So, I tried linking a born alicorn with origin stories, and prophecies. Here's what I found.

While alicorns aren't actually found in our legends, Celestia and Luna controlling the sun and moon actually fits very well with ancient legends, "mythical" beings. (As mythical here doesn't mean made-up. It just means it's not proven, as the original legend was actually mythical at first, until it was revealed to be true at the end of the premiere. Well, and supernatural, but Celestia and Luna still fit that definition.) So, an alicorn is basically a deity of some sort. Twilight and Cadance ascended into them, so according to MLP, one can BECOME an alicorn, right up with the once mythical sisters. But, it had to be earned, unlike Flurry Heart. Faust stated that the sisters were born alicorns, but that wasn't suprising, as they were mythical being in the legend, maybe even the first ponies ever to exist. It's having someone born at THIS age as one that would make Twilight question it, as she did. But, what if Flurry Heart already earned her alicorn status well before she was ever born? Who was having the baby? Cadance, an alicorn, and Shining Armor. What prophecy or legend has someone be born by both a man and a deity?

Given that Cadance is the princess of love, and love leads to these ponies having babies, does that mean that SHE had control of who would be born? That SHE was the one who gave birth to this alicorn, as the chosen one, to fufill an ancient prophecy? Is Flurry Heart, the- *static* (XD)
