"We will always try to build. If we could be satisfied with what we had, then what would ever get done? No, we want more, and we pursue it endlessly. If you want money, start at the bottom and work your way up. If you want happiness, find what makes you feel most at peace. But if you want power, you do not start humbly, nor do you begin purely. You start your journey in a high position, and then you secretly abuse it. Make alliances with enemies, and push your power to the limit. When you have won the seat of absolute authority, then you can rightfully call yourself a success."

The Crystal Empire is going through an uprising. So what? Everyone does. One pony is sent to put an end to the confusion, but he has no intention of ending the problem. What does he want?

His father.
