Talk:The Cutie Re-Mark Pt. 1/@comment-818549-20151121192322/@comment-1031724-20151121204446

The way I see it, when Celestia and Luna lost connection to the Elements, it weakened the seal on him, requiring only an act of chaos to be performed in front of him in order to release him, which the Cutie Mark Crusaders did.

I think the changeling invasion would have been a good substitute. Otherwise, the changelings probably destroyed his statue, thus killing him, when they destroyed Canterlot.
