Starswirl the Bearded was wise, powerful, adored, and obviously, very famous. He lived his life to its fullest potential and did all he could learn the hidden truths of the land that had just been named Equestria. He had but one regret. His best friend, his only true friend, disagreed about the fate of a land unknown, and as a result, that bond was broken forever...and so too was his desire to make any friend ever again.
A one-shot about Starswirl's past.
