Just after the SV Alicorn exibition Princess Twilight Sparkle noticed Princess Luna acting very strange recently.

Princess Celestia can't say much only something about the old Unicorn Royal Family, Twilight decides to investigate, and finds a book written by Clover the Clever, all about a young Star Swirl and an even younger pony named Bullion.


Recommended reading to help make this story more understanable.

So, you're going with Magnus and Sentry being related after all, huh? Which side of Sentry's family is Magnus from?

One more thing, I noticed that you borrowed a lot of this from Disney's Sword in the Stone. Is Bullion supposed to be Arthur?

Okay, how much of this story did you borrow from the Disney movie?

His mother's side.

Flash is descended from Sir Defender Warden on his father's side.

Most of it.

But the stuff about Clover and Witchcraft comes from Terry Pratchett.

Wow, Starswirl was quite the Cloudcuckoolander when he was young. Also, great chapter. This was very insightful. You're really good at world building.

Going by the trope I'd say my Young Star Swirl is more The Wonka than a Cloudcuckoolander. The Cloudcuckoolander is completely up in the air, whereas the Wonka has his feet, or in this case, hooves on the ground. Like Sir Isaac Newton and Nikola Tesla.

I do have fun world building.

Interesting development. I can't wait to see what's next.

That was a rather strange conclusion. Oh well.

I guess my little hint in the last chapter was perhaps a little too subtle.

But that doesn't make sense. Reincarnation involves being reborn, and last I checked, Pip was already born when Luna casted that spell. Did Ruthenium get split apart or something? Did a piece end up in Pip and the other at the library? The only other explanation I have is that Pip has been possessed. :applejackunsure::applejackconfused:

Remember L-Space, in a library time and space are more fluid.

And going back to Terry Partchett, and mild spoiler for his book The Truth two of the villain are reincarnated backwards in time, being reborn before the story started.

I obviously don't read a lot of sci-fi. :twilightsheepish:

While Pratchett did write some Science Fiction, especially early in his published career like The Dark Side of the Sun

He's far more remembered as a Comic Fantasy writer.

His Discworld books (all 41 of them) are to Fantasy, what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is to Science-Fiction.

I highly recommend the series. Although recommendation for reading, start with the fourth book Mort, that's the one that turned me into a Discworld fan. Other possible starting books Wyrd Sister (where I got some inspiration about Witches) and Guards Guards!

Wyrd Sisters also has an animated adaption by Cosgrove Hall Animation, as does the sequel story to Mort, Soul Music, both of which feature the late Sir Christopher Lee.

There are also three live-action adaptions, but they can be hard to follow at times. The best of them is the first Hogfather, but that is made for Pratchett fans, by Pratchett, so an understanding of the books helps when watching it.

There's a few MLP Crossover fics with it too. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/400/binky-pie and https://www.fimfiction.net/story/8293/the-wizzard-and-the-pony
