In a dream, Acolyte Inquisitor Twilight Sparkle comes to a startling realization that the universe she lives in is trying to eat her soul. And perhaps already did. She needs to do something to remain Twilight Sparkle. Or at least to die as Twilight Sparkle. But she doesn't know what.

Short vignette, inspired by the excellent "The Dark Ones" and "Of Xenos and War" by Snake Staff. May someday grow to incorporate several vignettes.

This story is not canon to the original, but takes place in a slightly different universe.
