Legends of Magic (Star Swirl the Bearded) [MLP COMIC] Part-1

Next video:   • Legends of Magic (Rockhoof Backstory)...  
Princess Celestia gives Sunburst access to a study used by her mentor, Star Swirl the Bearded, so he can research the history of Equestria. He finds a book written by Star Swirl, describing his tutelage of Celestia and Princess Luna when they were younger.

Jealous of Celestia's faster progress, Luna steals a spellbook and uses it to create a dimensional portal to a parallel world. A force pulls her through, accompanied by a voice promising to make her stronger than Celestia, and the portal closes. Once Star Swirl re-opens it, Celestia races in ahead of him and rescues Luna from a group of rock creatures who are trying to turn her into Nightmare Moon. The creatures merge into a giant monster, and Star Swirl arrives to battle it so the sisters can return to the portal. All three escape to Equestria, and Celestia apologizes to Luna for making fun of her instead of watching out for her.

Sunburst gives the book to Celestia and Luna so they can remember Star Swirl's old lesson on the importance of compassion in a leader. He then reaches for a different title, Rockhoof and the Mighty Helm.
