Far away, above the Neighagra Falls, in the Region of Crystal, lies the Forest of the Deer. Few know about them. Few know that there is even a forest. But there, in isolation, there they are. The Crystal Deer, and the Papilio Changeling Hive. Living in isolation for thousands of years, the two kingdoms live knowing only of each other. But that has changed. The Papilio Hive has gained news of Chrysalis' defeat. With it, comes the knowledge of Equestria, and its rulers and inhabitants. Then, came the Crystal Empire, only miles away from their resting place. The ignorant have been educated at last.

2 years later, the Empress and Queen have finally decided.
Its time to open up the gates. After almost 7,000 years, the isolated kingdoms have finally sent out the requests for ambassadors and reporters to come to their country, so that they may meet and learn what they have been missing for so long. Finally, a link has been sent out. Its time for the world to know.
The Forest of the Deer and the Papilio Changeling Hive are out of their shell, and only relations and bonds, and quite possibly enemies, can come out of it.

Set after season 5 finale! This story is primarily based on my original species, the Crystal Deer, so I will regularly update and edit this story as ideas come to me. Dont worry, I will still work on my other story, Divided. (is talking to literally no-one )
