After the defeat of Tirek and the map appearing within the castle, Twilight got curious if there was more to the tree than meets the eye. After doing some research the only one left to ask is Princess Celestia herself.

The [Alternate Universe]-Tag is present, because things might not fit into canon completely (now or more on a later date). Still, I tried to keep as close to canon as I could.
