Two-thousand years of Equestrian history through the eyes of those who lived it; from Princesses Celestia and Luna's mentorship under Starswirl, to the first appearance of Discord, to the sacrifice of The Pillars, and Luna's banishment. This story fills in the gaps of the show's canon (ignoring comics and other media).

Extended Universe:
Chapter 11 -> Flight of the Valkyrie
Chapter 14 -> TBA Starswirl/Pillars Spin-off

“ NO , YOU DID NOT . HOW WE CONDUCT OUR PERSONAL BUISNESS IS OUR CONCERN, AND OUR CONCERN ALONE. YOUR ADVISORY ROLE IS FOR THAT OF MAGIC, AND ONLY MAGIC.”

It should be Business, not Buisness....

“ I do not ask , vassal. ” The King's voice remained hushed, but there was a dark, cold weight behind his words, and a snarl to his lips that sent shivers down Starswirl's spine. “You have your king's orders, now go .”

Keep a space after the word now.

“DO NOT DISAPOINT US, STARSWIRL. Your future depends on it.”

It should be disappoint.

Don't think I'm being rude, just tried to help. You can delete my comment of corrections. Anyway, nice story you have there! xxxx

Standing outside the nursery door, Starswirl took a breath, trying to calm himself. What would he say? He wasn't good around children. Tutoring Celestia was one thing, he was in charge there and knew what he was doing, but this... this was a social situation. Can one evensocialise with a child? No, no, he was still in charge. He was still their tutor, and he was still the court wizard, but most importantly right now, he was their primary carer. He needed to be a pillar of strength for them, without saying or doing anything to scare them. His moment over, Starswirl steadied himself and pushed on the heavy iron knocker before him, breeching the gap.

Can one even socialize with a child?

You need to leave a space before adding bold & leave space between even & socialize.

Ah, thank you for the feedback! It seems that OpenOffice didn't spellcheck the fully capitalised words, but I've fixed that setting now.
As for spaces, my actual document is correctly punctuated, but upon pasting it into FimFiction it adds and removes spaces throughout the document, which I can't afford to check every time I paste a new version in. I'll change it, but there will be numerous errors of that kind in all of my submissions, as it's something I simply don't have the time to proofread for over and over.

Again, this is FimFiction's fault, not mine, but I'm grateful for the feedback. I'm not sure what you mean by 'bold', though. There isn't any use of bold in this chapter, neither in formatting nor text.

I look forward to seeing the next chapter eventually.

Can't wait for the next chapter

Thank you! Hopefully it won't take as long as this one did ^^

If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

Hm, to be honest I've not really thought about that. Meadow Flower has a Louisiannan-French accent, so think of Gambit from X-Men, but female? Ustiarius... pff, I have no idea... Just... generic American young adult... I'm struggling to think of anyone to compare him to.
Sorry this is a bit of a lame answer. Much like how I don't think about colours when I draw or design characters/clothes, I just read the character's lines in my voice, with their appropriate cadence. Starswirl is eloquent but terse, Ustiarius is an snide every-man, Meadow Flower is Creole and motherly, and then you've got other characters with stereotypical accents. Bluebeak is gruff, Hook has that classic West Country pirate accent, Line is a smarmy ladies man, Little Cobb has a young Southern accent... Yeah, I dunno, what you imagine is probably right :P I wouldn't know where to begin with casting them. I guess I'd know it when I heard it.

I am enjoying this story and I am glad I found it. Please continue!

Thank you very much! That's encouraging to hear ^^ Don't worry, I'm not stopping any time soon.

Screw canon. Canon of the later seasons has ruined everything, and even then, it can still be interpreted differently. Flurry Heart may be the first alicorn birth Equestria has ever seen, but the royal sisters were born before Equestria was founded, which happened so long ago that it would be reasonable for them to assume another natural alicornhood was impossible at this point.

Well, putting together the pieces I'm given is half the fun, and I don't recall the sisters' births being mentioned in the show. Not sure why you're bringing up Flurry Heart on this chapter, though, as the concept of alicorn ascension has been part of this story since the prologue. I don't think anything was ruined, though.

How does this only have eighteen likes? This is great.

Thank you! I wish it got more reads, but I guess (and hope) it's just lost in the crowd. I'm still passionate about writing it though, regardless of its popularity. I'm about half way through proofing the next chapter--been spreading my attention out between spin-offs and early chapter rewrites, so I've not had much to show for a while, but hopefully that will change soon.

I don't get it. Are you trying to make a joke?

The Tale of Two Sisters: Prologue-Ch11
Flight of the Valkyrie Spin-off
The Tale of Two Sisters: Ch12-Ch14
[Pillars Spin-off, TBA]
The Tale of Two Sisters: Ch15+

Are these going to be all of the story arcs?

Not so much story arcs, just a timeline of how the spin-offs fit together.

That was a good chapter.

That was a good chapter goodluck with the next one.
