"But...it was going perfect..." The mare's dream was slowly falling to the bottom of her depression. "No wonder...why they said..."

"But...it was going perfect..." The mare's dream was slowly falling to the bottom of her depression. "No wonder...why they said..." Crusher sighed out before saying, "Things that seem good on paper can be horrible in application. Your idea of an equal society is one of them."

Glimmer fell to her knees, starting to silently cry at her failed and horrible attempt to do something she thought was right.

Glimmer fell to her knees, starting to silently cry at her failed and horrible attempt to do something she thought was right. Crusher felt conflicted on what he should do now. Should he leave Glimmer alone, or actually help her up and take the unicorn along with him? For the rhinoceros, the answer was what was right to him. And that was forgiveness. He made his way over to Glimmer and slowly got on one knee.

"All my dreams...of seeing everything happy and no one being above another...where people didn't have to feel upset with what hand they got dealt..." She mutters, raising her hands like she just saw her dream crumble to dust in her own hands.

"All my dreams...of seeing everything happy and no one being above another...where people didn't have to feel upset with what hand they got dealt..." She mutters, raising her hands like she just saw her dream crumble to dust in her own hands. Crusher finally got down on his right knee, looking the unicorn in the eye. "You thought something was right. Your intention was noble- a society where there is only happiness- but your methods were flawed."

"How do you know?" She asks with teary eyes of fury.

"How do you know?" She asks with teary eyes of fury. Crusher simply shrugged. "I believe I told you why your methods were flawed a minute ago." (Yeah, he did point out the whole 'they would starve to death' thing.)

(Not what she meant. She meant 'how would he know' like as if he did it himself.) "You don't get it. You sound like you've done it or been through it before...how would you know I was going to fail?"

"When I was young I had a similar idea, but it didn't go over well with anybody. I learned why it was a bad idea quickly." Crusher responded. "Now, I actually have to ask you something, Starlight Glimmer... What do you plan to do now?"

"I...I don't know..." She mutters. "My ideals are shattered...and everyone was chasing me here...until I lost them..." (Except she's going to be in the future episodes but I don't know.)

(We're just gonna make up shit for Season 5?) "Al-alright..." Glimmer nods a little, getting up and following along since she has literally nothing else to do or lose.

(Well, when have the previous Sandboxes let episode flow suddenly control the story?) Crusher nodded before getting up himself. Up close it was easy to see how tall he was.

"Alright." Glimmer nods while following along. Crusher guided the unicorn, retracing his steps through the caverns as they ultimately reached the entrance from which Crusher had come in.

"So...why haven't you showed your kind to anyone at all?" As they walked into the snow, Crusher began to speak. "We are far too advanced for any species in this world, and so we hide away. I'm actually the first to ever leave our cities and survive the trip from our land into another."

"Brr...it's cold." She shivers a bit. "And you don't need to be advanced just to say 'hi' to people. You look like normal people that look like would fit right in to a normal town."

"Brr...it's cold." She shivers a bit. "And you don't need to be advanced just to say 'hi' to people. You look like normal people that look like would fit right in to a normal town." "Our technology is several centuries ahead of the most advanced and known nations on this planet. Imagine, if you would, if we told everyone how to invent this technology and also traded it freely." Crusher breathed deeply before following up by saying, "Every nation would want our advanced inventions, and their attempts to reach our rechnological level would begin a downward spiral towards their destruction. They would barely have time to get used to one generation of technology before finding another, and another, and another! All of the government money would be spent on that, and the huge wave of new tech would be impossible to keep up with or even adjust to, resulting in massive confusion and eventual government collapse." Crusher breathed again before saying, "If a nation develops new technology at a very high speed, its citizens will be left behind, everyone will be. It would lead to chaos. So we hide away, waiting to find the right time..." Crusher finished.

"Or...maybe you could do none of that and just show up and say 'hi' like a normal person..." Glimmer frowns a little. "One person doesn't mean showing everything they hold. Like one griffin being a bitch doesn't mean there all jerks."

Like one griffin being a bitch doesn't mean there all jerks." "That's not mentioning how vicious our homeland is. You think this is cold? I'm warm right now. The highest recorded temperature during summer in our land was thirty degrees. The lowest temperature... I can't even remember, but it was very low in the negatives." Crusher replied. "We're also a very small nation, so our ability to try and transport diplomats is minimal. If they tried to come on foot or by their own mechanizations, they would literally freeze to death... I found frozen bodies on my way here during the year I spent leaving the mountainous land I called home. Besides, it's not like I have substantial weight on the decisions of the Minister. The public gets a say, but we have always had a majority vote no when asked if we should leave our homeland and reveal ourselves."

"Th-that's strange..." Glimmer says while shivering even more, using her magic to put a bubble around her self to keep some warm air in and keep the cold air out.

As Crusher listened, he found himself absorbed in the tale of Equestria, from the past to the present, from Nightmare Moon to Tirek. "How interesting!" He replied the second Starlight finished. "What a fascinating history!"
