Princess Flurry Heart demonstrates her intentions to reunite the three races of Equestria by forcing all ponies to love each other.

Since my last drawing of the G5 Crystal Empire idea did so well, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to follow it up with another drawing. To recap, strange red crystals begin emerge all over Equestria from the coasts of Maretime Bay, to the lush forests of Bridlewood, to even the tall peaks of Zephyr Heights and beyond. After learning that the crystals create trails that lead far up north, Sunny, Izzy, and Pipp travel there to figure out what is going on and where the crystals are coming from. They discover the long-forgotten Crystal Empire ruled by the cheery, upbeat, but rather delusional alicorn princess Flurry Heart.

The princess is excited to not only see a trio of other ponies outside of her empire, but a group that consists of all three races. Believing that her actions have already made a difference, she takes them into a hidden chamber where it is revealed that she has been using the power of the ancient crystal heart to force all ponies to love each other. The red crystals that the heart creates have a sort of hypnotic effect and those who stare at them for too long will succumb to a mental state of loving any and everyone they see. While Sunny shares in the princess’s desire to reunite the three races, she knows that this is not the way to go about it. But Flurry Heart argues with her, protesting that this is what Equestria needs and what they both want.
