Thanks to Manarion over at deviantArt for the picture!
Many of us have heard about Star Swirl the Bearded, one of the greatest unicorns to wander Equestria's soils. But what is his story? Where was he born, how did he grow up? What was he doing during the creation of Equestria? What was his actions during the reign of Discord? How was he involved in the creation of Nightmare Moon? And what is his standing with the elements of balance and the three gods? But most importantly:
How can he still be alive?
Chapters (7)
Why am i reminded of Hunger Games at the challenge part? I dunno, anyway, this is quite good for only having a brief "Hey there is a dude named Star Swirl he is a pony lulz" description
at being about 10 times longer than it was when I read it, I love the way this story is developing already.
and It was amazing, as always.
btw. yes you actually did finish on sunday, and with quality. I'm impressed

Start swirl hehehe a spinning start? hehe
Faindragon here with the news! (Sry, to much Fallout 3 ain't good for ya!)
I will try to update every two week, starting after next chapter is out. As it is now...
Let us say like this, The Story of Star Swirl the Bearded have already started to grow out of control for me. I have realized how much I want to write it properly, and to achieve that do I need to plan and proof read the chapter written, fit them with how I want them to be. I also need to correct the grammar, and I have gotten myself a proof reader who will help me with that when he find time.
As it is now will I plan the story the upcoming week and then continue writing, but I will not update before it get through my proof readers.
As always, critic and comments are highly appreciated, I try to evolve as a writer and for that I need to know what you think.
Lastly, thank you for reading, it is for you people I write and want this to be as good as it can be!
To the ones who read this, a couple of things that should be good to know.
1. I'm really sorry that it took so long time for this chapter, I have been deep into a writing blockade, a blockade I have jet to overcome completely.
2. I'm going through the earlier chapters, and this one, and have started to edit things for it to flow better and being better. You should not miss anything should you choose not to reread it.
3. I have found someone who is willing to proofread at least chapter 1. If you want to help me out, just give me a heads up, all help is highly appreciated since I lack a lot in my knowledge about English grammar.
If you see anything wrong with the story, let me know. (And yes, I know that my way to describe the Phoenix birthing is wrong cannon wise, but it feels like it is to much circling around it for me to change at this point)
Comments and thoughts are highly appreciated.
And I'm here once again.
1. I have found someone who have been able to proof-read, and the first chapter should be finished around Wednesday.
2. I have noticed that I speak against myself at some points, and I'm trying to figure it out as well.
3. I have a hard time deciding if I should split the upcoming chapter in two or create a longer chapter, time will tell.
4. I'm still having my writing blockade, which render me unable to write at all it seems. (Or, feels like) I'm hopping that it will disappear soon, but I will in the meantime take a break from writing (for a few days) and go back to read all those 27 chapters of various fics I have missed to read. But don't worry, I will return with more horrible grammar!
Firstly:
Sorry for this chapter taking so long time to write, mayor blockade that still is not completely gone has kept me from writing as much as I wanted.
Secondly:
My grammar is still horrible. However, the first chapter is in the stage of correction, and should be uploaded corrected shortly.
Thirdly:
I have started to rewrite small parts of the earlier chapters, first now realizing where I want to take the story. Nothing to big has been changed, the story should be easy to follow without going back and read.
And lastly, as always.
Thank you for reading, and remember that critique and comments are highly appreciated!
what is this before my eyes. Could it possibly be the fabled second chapter? :D
great job, and glad to hear that the blockade is letting up/
also, near the beginning:
"You did the right thing," Sea Walker said in a low voice. “The people of Harbour needs a.”
"How long time do you need, Walker?"
is this a cut off or an error?

That is indeed a cut off, going to clear that.
I was really excited when I saw this update.
well anyways, what must be done must be done. if you need any help summer is coming and I would be more than happy to lend a hoof
