This picture, along with this one, [link] inspired me to write a little something something. Hope you don't mind.By the way, this isn't about an alicorn amulet.“My entire life... I’ve searched and searched. For what, I don’t know, but I do know that it is... amazing.Whatever I’m searching for, I know it can do harm when in possession of an evil being, like a sword.Whatever I’m searching for, I know it can protect from harm when raised against overwhelming power, like a shield.However, it is not an item; a physical wealth. It is not magic either; a spell or incantation. Whatever it is... words cannot describe it. It is not a feeling, no, it is more than that.It once resided in me... but in my old age, it somehow slipped out under my raspy breath, and no matter how much I plea and beg and cough, it won’t return.This... thing... that I’ve searched for; the euphoria that exceeds all happiness, the hurt that surpasses all pain; the tool of enlightenment, the weapon of crippling; it is beyond my sight now.Celestia... Luna... you will live to be millenia old... so, please, continue this search. I am so very sorry that I have failed you again.As you progress in time, all I ask of you is to search, and to remember. Remember me; the little troublesome colt with an appetite for learning, the one that nearly killed hundreds with a magical outburst, the one that was trained to control it, and the one now in charge of magical research... Remember my apprentice, the sassy mare with a never-ending hope for pony kind, the one that nearly killed me with a magical outburst, the one I took under my wing, the one now in charge of social relations... And, of course, remember Him.Make this world one He would be proud of.Good luck, and possibly farewell. My current studies may prove to be fatal. If so... I’m sorry I couldn't spend just one more day with you two.As always... your friend/mentor/uncle, Starswirl.”Also, great work! I love your art!
