King Sombra is dead....or that's what everypony thought at least. Spike managed to bring the crystal Heart to Princess Cadence and initially destroyed the shadow King. But something happened in-between Cadence intervening and Sombra being mere seconds from claiming his prize. A small part of the king's soul entered Spike's body when they met each other's gaze. Since Sombra's defeat, Spike continuously had visions of the foe and he couldn't understand them. During one such night, something ...different happened.
