Coran:Princess Alluras Father, King Alfor, Connected Her Quintessence To That Of The Lions. She Alone

Coran: Princess Allura’s father, King Alfor, connected her Quintessence to that of the lions. She alone is the key to finding them, wherever they are in the universe.

Pigeon Catcher: It looks like the black lion is in the same place as the blue lion.

Coran: Look at those primitive synapses firing away in their little braincage! You’re absolutely right!

Princess Allura: You are correct. The Black Lion is locked here in the castle. It can only be unlocked when the other four lions are present.

Princess Allura: Now, the bond between Paladin and Lion is something greater than science alone can explain. Above all else, it cannot be forced.

Princess Allura: But we must, at the very least, try.

GIANT SLOTH MAN, I CHOOSE YOU!

Prince Silverwing: Wait, wait, we could end up being here a while… provoking the locals would be a bad idea.

Prince Silverwing: I would really rather not have to negotiate with the angry.

Pigeon Catcher: !!!

Pigeon Catcher: The BUCK is that?!

Prince Silverwing: Goodbye!

GSM: ???

Prince Silverwing: I’ll give it a try later, when there’s time. But for now it’s safer to just walk.

Pigeon Catcher: I Understand... is that a boat?

Pigeon Catcher: Let’s ‘borrow’ it.

How did the other pony paladins react when they were given their Lions?

Princess Allura: Prince Silverwing, you will pilot The Black Lion, who requires a Natural-Born Leader. Someone who is in control at all times, and whose men follow without question.

Princess Allura: The Green Lion has an inquisitive nature, and requires a Paladin of intelligence and daring.

Princess Allura: Pigeon Catcher, you will pilot The Green Lion.

Princess Allura: The Yellow Lion is caring, and kind. It is the mightiest of lions, and cares for others before itself. Sunlit Honey, The Yellow Lion will be flown by you.

Sunlit Honey: Me?

Princess Allura: Now, The Blue Lion-

Azure-Blue: Wait, wait, hold up! Let me guess!

Azure-Blue: She takes the most charming, handsomest, and best flier of the group! Am I right or am I right?

Princess Allura: Er-

Princess Allura: The Red Lion is the most temperamental and pickiest of the Voltron Lions. It is also the fastest and most agile of them. It requires a Paladin who follows instinct above all else.

Princess Allura: Luxfite, you will pilot The Red Lion.

OMG Luxite's 1st flight picture is sooooooo adorable!!! What did the other pony paladins look like when they too were fouls?

???: Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba! Sithi uhm ingonyama!

How did Silverwing earn the title of 'Prince'? Was it connected to a blood line? Or was it due to another reason?

Blackberry Lemonade: This is happening-! We’re going to space!

Silverwing: It is.

Mint Lemonade: Shh.

Princess Luna: Mint Lemonade, Blackberry Lemonade, Silverwing; you three ponies have been selected to start Equestria’s First Expedition to the furthest reaches of the Solar System. This Mission will try every skill you have, but I speak for all of Equestria when I say that you three are destined for success. 

Princess Luna: Silverwing, on this expedition there is a chance you three may encounter peoples and civilizations previously unknown. As my Protégé, I feel that you will be the best candidate to deal with this as it arises.

Princess Luna: By the power vested in me, I do hereby name you Prince Silverwing, Ambassador of Harmony, and all Ponykind.
