This work inspired as an expanded take on my story "Loving the Nightmare"
After her battle with Starlight Glimmer across timelines. Twilight Sparkle and her new student seek to unravel the power of the spell that sent Twilight into alternate Equestrias. She crosses the dimensional barriers seeking knowledge on how those alternate Equestria's came to be and how they work.
Instead, she learns that no matter the world, the body of an alicorn is a treasure both lusted and fought for.
Original concept, sanity and initial editing by Door Belle
