Memory of Magic

by Little Kaiser

Manuscript #1063

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I dedicate this memoir to my faithful teacher, the Grand Magician Starswirl the Bearded, whom I have come to regard as my father. May he rest in the bliss of the Meadows of Eternity forever.


I write this in times of trouble. The passing of my mentor had affected me greatly, and I think no amount of consolation would ever do me right ever again. My heart aches because I did not see him the day he died. Rather, I had abandoned him. We had a quarrel the night before, and I left without saying a word. Now that he is gone, how could I ever be forgiven?

King

Luna had been consoling me from the very beginning. She stood by my side during the funeral, and to this day still stands by me when I need closure. I confided much about Starswirl to her, even though I know she knew Starswirl as much as I knew him. It is good to have friends who cared.

Sehrgroß

To rid me of my sorrow, she suggested that I write a memoir about him. She urged for me to tell the world about his magnificence, and not let any single creature be ignorant of who he was. Thus I dedicate my blood, sweat and tears for his remembrance.

Library

Teacher, I beg your forgiveness. I am an imperfect and overzealous student. But allow me to carry your legacy forward and put it on the highest pedestal, so that all may see your workings.
