Bolin, with the help of Spirits, Moogles, and various other people had finally finished setting up the party. There were tables laden with different kinds of food of course and decorations everywhere. They'd made sure to clear a space for dancing and Perry the Platypus had volunteered to DJ with some equipment borrowed from the moogles for the night. Bolin wished there could be more people so they could have games and stuff like a proper street festival...but for what he had he felt it was pretty good.

Now they just needed people to show up for the fun.

Hmm, both of those did seem to fit the ponies in question. Although having them not be here would seem to imply that these elements were artifacts of some sort. "Are those sorts of things typically passed on to new generations?"

He smiled. "If you've already gone a thousand, I don't imagine it would be that difficult to go another." At least she was far more likely to see that good than he was; something he'd come to accept.

"It is not a question of difficulty, but of wisdom," she said, the only hint at the many, many years of deep thought she'd put into her life choices and how much good she was doing Equestria, versus how much harm. "And there is little precedent for the Elements in any circumstance, but I think it wisest that they be passed on."

So these elements weren't typically passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, he wasn't entirely sure how long a 'generation' lasted for a pony as compared to most people, but even then this sounded different. "I'm sure it was for good reason. Wisdom of any sort is intended to be handed down."

Complicating the answer was just how darned long Celestia (and Luna) had lived, as well.

"Better to have a world in which the Elements are not needed... but that, I think, may be another several thousand years in coming, if indeed it is impossible. But you are right, and indeed it is better this way. I shall never take the Elements up again, not when my little ponies can use them better than I could."

Good place to stop?

"I think we would all like to see a day where tools used to fight darkness are not necessary," he replied. "But until that day comes, all we can do is pass them on to the young, along with what wisdom comes from using them."

Works for me!

"And never stop fighting ourselves... in whatever ways we need to," she said, satisfied that if nothing else, they were at least in perfect accord on that most important of matters.
