@Otherside86,

In one of the earlier generations, foals were not conceived naturally but 'wished' into existence at some magic location (a tree or a monolith, I can't remember the exact details). My headcanon is that Celestia and Luna were the last foals so wished into existence with the artefact's final effort before it failed. They are not simply special ponies, they represent the last relic of an ancient, long-forgotten magic older than Megan's first visit to Ponyland.
