My dearest friend Twilight wields the Element of Magic. For the longest time now, I've wondered why that is; what it means; why it isn't a virtue like the other five elements we each hold.
I thought long and hard about it, trying to figure it out. I knew Twilight was good at performing magic spells- good lord, every pony knew that! Still, how does it tie in to friendship?
I thought back to the day Twilight first came to Ponyville; first came into our lives. And I remember; had it not been for her, the six of us may not have ever come together in the way we are today; never would have forged such a strong bond like we do now. The quest for the elements to defeat Nightmare Moon is what truly brought us together.
And then even after that, even when tensions rose between us, no matter what came across or between us, it was always Twilight's heart that kept us together through the thick and thin. We wouldn't have stuck together without her.
The rest of us each represent and wield one of the main elements of harmony, a virtue and key component of friendship, but without something to bring them all together, they all stand alone, and true friendship cannot exist.
Twilight is that something. She is... well, for lack of a better term, the magic that holds us all together... and that is the meaning of Twilight's element, what makes her element the strongest of them all.
Because Friendship is Magic.
Author's Notes: Just a little sappy drabble that popped into my head when I thought about Twilight's element. Only 10 more days until Season 3!
