Following the defeat of Tirek, Celestia and Luna need a moment to breathe. Nopony could blame them, but a new letter from Twilight has Celestia intrigued. Their old castle will be abandoned again, along with the memories it contained. Hearing this, Celestia encourages Luna to go visit the Castle of the Two Sisters once again. It has been over a thousand years since they last stepped hoof in there, and they may not know what they find. However, they will learn something shocking about their old mentor, Starswirl the Bearded...
Takes place right after the season 4 finale, Twilight's Kingdom. This story draws heavily on "Journal of the Two Sisters" by Amy Keating Rogers, so reading it is recommended, but not required.

Which certain episode are you waiting for? I've been a bit out of the loop, and have they announced some episode involving Star Swirl's return or something about the Royal Sisters?
Also, this was a fine little piece. I quite enjoyed the introduction, and the bit where Luna Royal Canterlot Voices some dickhead dragon (literally) through the roof (well, maybe not totally literally) was wonderful. I didn't expect this story to end with in such a way, though. That was a nice surprise. I figured this was going to be a sort of fluff fic where they re-live memories... which it sort of was, but it has that wonderful extra of this sort of cliffhanger ending that fit in nicely with the whole thing and was nicely executed.
Overall, you've earned my favorite and like. And comment!
Let me guess, you're waiting for the season finale?

Well, I'm waiting for Campfire Tales, as there's a possibility Starswirl might appear there. They've hinted that the new Legends of Magic characters will show up, and Starswirl is among them. The season finale is interesting, but I want to wait for the episode in the spoiler first.

Legends of Magic? Also, that makes sense. I just thought it was the finale because the Pony of Shadows, who was in the castle is involved.
