Why did Star Swirl the Bearded create a spell that could cause so much damage? Why is there no record of his life afterwards? What happened to the greatest conjurer in Equestrian history?
These are only a few of the questions that have plagued Twilight Sparkle. They have robbed her of many a night's rest, and she has had no fortune in finding the answers in any book.
Yet when all hope seems lost, she finds them in her former enemy. Unfortunately, he can't answer her questions without giving her a "little" background. So, with Twilight listening attentively, Discord recalls the times that only he and the Sisters remember.
But there are some things even the Princesses don't know; things that have been sealed away with him for a thousand years. From the Creation of the Elements of Harmony to the Secrets of Star Swirl the Bearded, from the Reign of Discord to the Fall of the Crystal Empire, Twilight finds the answers to questions she didn't even realize she had, and discovers shocking secrets of the past, and the many ponies involved.
NOTE: Chapter Five is in the process of being revamped. Future chapters will begin once the revamp is completed.
This is very good. Excellent storyline, decent writing style and a nice lack of obvious spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. I can't wait to see where this will go. Keep up the good work.
