[To the question, Celestia shrugs. She doesn't understand -- the whole notion of gods is so far from what ponykind has ever envisioned. There are no ayakashi, no prayers, nothing anything like the Far Shore in Equestria.]

Alicorns are indeed special, as I've mentioned. We have the virtues of all pony types, and we are very rare. The four alicorns in Equestria today are two more than there have been since Equestria was founded.
