Song of the Star-Swirl

Song of the Star-Swirl


In principio mundus inquietus erat
Vis magica liber sine magistro volabat

Woken the world from the primordial sleep
Woken the force from the abyssal keeps
Dancing waves of magic over the world
Lawless force obeying no mortal soul

In olden times, times of the tribes
His gaze turned to the stars:
Apprentice for the guides of sky
Gave new names to the laws

O pastor equinorum
Scientia magi caela aperit

Star-Swirl of the shrouded past
Learned the meaning of might
Bending force under his mind
Rewrote the magic's laws

Within a toll of the small bells
He created the formulae
Unveiled the primordial secrets
Crafted order into chaos

Founded the school to the magic
Of unicorn laws
Of mortal kin's fate
To shape their own path
For their care the world
For their care the never-ending course of the Moon and Sun

Nowadays his world
Entangled in myths
In history's mist
And shrouded in tales
Forgotten in time
Yet the Star-Swirl's heritage
Lives on in the marks and spells of those who followed his magical ways

Legacy for the generations after:
Greatest sorcerer once alive
Until the last of the line
Until the seed of the sparkā€¦
