"We... just might be tapping into the Rift." Twilight said. "Now, I have to wonder about what exactly it does... However, your friend..."
Okay, now you got Twilight thinking. "If it wasn't for an incident that happened back home, I would think that sort of thing wasn't possible, but... ah, hold on. I'm going to need something to show this because I'm certain it'll go over your head. Or anypony else's if they're listening."
It takes a moment, but Twilight returns with some paper and a bunch of pens. And as she talks to Sheena, she starts to draw a little crudely, numbering the pages as she did.
"Before, I thought time travel wasn't entirely possible. Nothing but perhaps a simple loop. I saw myself from the future, but she could only tell me something real fast before disappearing. In hindsight, it was my fault for not listening and not not worrying in the first place."
As she did that, she drew a picture of herself and her eyepatch-wearing, crazy-maned self with two arrows circling around.
"But, there was another time travel spell that could make further, even devastating changes. A unicorn named Starlight Glimmer found one in an attempt to get back at me and my friends for ruining a plot of hers. She tried to interrupt a specific moment in our lives and, in doing so, turned our world into one of disaster."
With that, Twilight began making multiple sketches of angry unicorn interrupting the Sonic Rainboom and causing the various threats to Equestria - Lord Sombra, the Changelings, Nightmare Moon, Tirek, Discord and the Flim-Flam Brothers - to be the end result before ending with a barren wasteland.
"I was able to stop her, but it's highly possible that all of those timelines exist as a different dimension in some sort, but I'm not too keen on checking it out. It's highly possible that your friend came from something like that - a timeline where something was altered so that things happened different."
And now, Twilight's beginning to ponder about the here and now with Crystallis.
"But, now that makes me wonder about this world. They say that what we go through is a cycle. A continuous one. What if it isn't a cycle of birth, life and death, but instead a reboot? I wasn't here for that incident, but I heard that someone tried to stop Palitutu when everyone was sent back in time, but couldn't because altering the timeline would put someone into Crystal Stasis. Of course, there's going to be some things that need to happen, but I have a feeling that we'll be repeating some of the things that went wrong if we followed through with some suggestions..."
Aaaaaand Twilight came to a stop, grinning sheepishly as she giggled. "Sorry, I guess I got too caught up in all of this."
