The Lost Legends of Equestria: Star Swirl the Bearded

The Spell

“From one to another, another to one. A mark of one’s destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.”

Star Swirl had just finished writing down his most recent and last spell, but it was incomplete, something was missing from it, but he couldn’t tell what it was. Yet he knew right then and there that he would never finish it because there was something, just one subject that he did not know about, and so with a sigh he put the piece of paper in his desk and then took out his journal to write in, a habit that he had developed ever since he was a very young colt.

He used his journal for almost everything, notes, spells, thoughts, idea, fears, and his dreams, everything that he deemed important was in this thing.

Today I finished another spell, the word which I wrote on a piece of paper that I had handy, for a wizard should always have a piece of paper and a quill or instrument in which to write your idea, thoughts, dreams, fears, or spells down as I have said before in this book, well the words were these, ‘From one to another, another to one. A mark of one’s destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.

I do not know what they mean or who they will apply to, I only know that I will never finish this spell because there is something, just one subject that I do not know, I plan to look into the future to see if I can see the pony that will discover this work and then finish and end it once and for all, but perhaps it is better if I do not, I can only hope and pray that another may finish and end my work...

Once he had written that down in his journal he put it aside and away, he had other more important things to do right now, like doing his work and his job.

But then again, he had done so much in his lifetime that he deserved and needed a break and rest, and Equestria would be fine in the safe hooves of the Mane 6 there to protect them. But it would be and was many years before they would come, but for now it had Celestia, and that’s all they needed right now, it was who they needed, no pony would need him, not for quite some long time.

Then taking his daily tea he drank it and waited for the arrival of his next student and apprentice, Celestia had promised him one, and now he was anxiously expecting one, even if it was not a very good one that he would get.
