…if you come across some artifact that starts whispering sweet nothings into your brain, you will LEAVE IT THE HELL WHERE YOU FOUND IT.

“YES! Yes… I feel it, the power… fills me. Yes, I feel the universe within me! I am… I am a part of the cosmos! The power flows… Flows through me! Of what consequence are you now? This planet, these people. They are NOTHING to me! The universe is power! Real, unstoppable POWER! and I am that force! I am that power! KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER! Fool! you are no longer my EQUAL! I am more than dragon! MORE THAN LIFE! I… am… a… GOD! Now. You… will… KNEEEEEL! KNEEEEL!”

I want this to mean something later on. Like something goes wrong because Ember is not the real Dragon Lord, so Spike has to go back and be the Hero of the Dragon lands as well.
 
I had the idea of a usurper king Garble and his plans to attack Equestria. Maybe he found Sombra’s shadow magic on his way home while hugging other dragons.

 
it had to be done

He’s feeling the warp overtaking him.
 
You think this will be relevant at some point later on? Previous evidence suggests that not but except for On Your Marks every episode from the last season finale until now seems to happen kinda close to each other.
 
EDIT: As a matter of fact…
 
Didn’t some people say there would be dragons in the next Heart’s Warming Eve episode?

Let the flames stroke your face.
