This is my interpretation of how the different races in Equestria evolve to become more powerful versions of themselves, or come to inherit the powers of other races, to ultimately reach the level of Alicorn. This theory was half my own personal headcanon that I've been entertaining for a while now, but it really came to fruition when I got into a brief discussion about race theory with DoomSp0rk (https://www.deviantart.com/doomsp0rk) and learned of his own headcanon. The two swirled together nicely, and I think the result is something that could, in theory, be very close to the truth (if Hasbro ever decides to explore this particular area of Equestrian lore).

We friends of cloth share stitch and thread, Our time we've spent, a full life led, What is it here upon these blocks That fills our souls so full of dread? These other ponies fear too late That someday soon will clear their slate The links they've made and lives they've touched, And suffer from death's prowling gait. Do they not know the peace here lies, The safety of a doll's true guise? As worlds they crumble torn down by time We watch with silent knowing eyes. So come what may, we birds of feather Shall tread the wake of any weather, And though the seasons seek to break Our bonds, we only lie together. ~Inspiration from ht

Deep in thought, my mind does churn, 'Neath branches of this hallowed tree. For my friends, my heart does yearn And pine for that not meant to be. The wintry breeze does carry through The memories of those days long past, But as this sky was once so blue, So too must I move on at last. Try as I might to leave this song And push away those dreams so clear, I cannot help to know the wrong Of giving up what is so dear. And so I mourn here in the snow Of times that are both dead and gone, I shed a tear for what I know: This deep sadness will have no dawn. ~Inspiration from http://ventious.deviantart.com/art/December-342889722 by :
