What if...

I told you a story idea that's been swimming around in my head for the past few weeks?

A former student holds a secret close to her black heart, having seized power through might and magic in a world not her own. As the empire she forged in her short reign collapses under the relentless assault of another queen, her thoughts do not go to her lands, her subjects, nor even to herself?

The mirror had given her a peek at her old world, her magic giving her an opportunity to see what had changed and who had replaced her. Enraged and hurt by what she sees and assumes, this queen of her crumbling world lures one Twilight Sparkle to her through the mirror by stealing the newest alicorn's crown. Captured, Twilight spends a year as a prisoner, as a human, the odd visits from her captor demanding answers to confusing questions.

She does not know what Sunset wants from her. The woman—a queen—asks, demands, and expects, it seems, everything of Twilight. What questions are answered only begets more questions. Mostly of Celestia. What obsession does Sunset have with her former teacher? Why does she seem so upset one such as Twilight had replaced her, having even been elevated to something Sunset believes should have been hers by right?

But the time is short, for Queen Sunset Shimmer has taken upon herself the ire of another queen, an older queen, a far, far more powerful queen.

Chrysalis.

The darkest of queens, the foulest of witches, the most evil monster in all the lands has taken upon herself to wage war upon her younger counterpart's efforts at domination. It is child's play, really. Sunset Shimmer cannot compete against the magic and might of Queen Chrysalis.

The Witch Queen approaches, her armies unstoppable.

And so Sunset comes to Twilight's cell one final time. With her is an imposing figure, not of size but of presence, a silent warrior and devout loyalist. A question is posed, one asked in desperation, from the voice of a mother with her concerns for the only thing that matters in this most desperate of hours.

"Twilight Sparkle, will you take my son to Celestia, his grandmother?"

....what do you think? The story would start in the world Sunset had escaped to, then progress towards Equus and eventually Equestria.

...She who sacrifices...

...against impossible odds...

...so a prisoner might be the only hope...

...to save a child from the hungering darkness...

(Introducing Xerun, the Queen's Champion. A warrior from another world with unholy power.)

Title unknown to this point. But at least it's a pretty neat idea, I think.
