When Twilight Sparkle attempts a long-range teleportation spell, she finds herself in an unfamiliar place and in unfamiliar company.
Cyrus- scholar, sorcerer, and traveler - has grown weary of his self-imposed exile. Will Equestria provide the peace of mind he seeks? Or will it serve as just another battleground for his inner conflict?

Author's Note:
I'm putting this on hiatus. And if I ever come back to it it'll probably be rewritten from square one. I'm not really happy with it. I was trying to do something unique, but putting it into the framework of a HiE fic just didn't work out. Also, another idea for a fic entered my mind some days ago and it just won't go away.
