Rumble's an incubus now, and he has some interesting powers over peoples' affections. He fears that he might not be fully in control over this power when Flitter and Cloudchaser become a little closer to him than usual.
That was...actually a rather touching chapter. Of course, the conclusion was rather obvious from the get go, but I like how it was handled.
So Equestrian cubi, rather than having near mind control powers like in most mythos, just have highly developed emotion reading capabilities, and the ability to make someone pay attention to something? If that's the case...I'm beginning to think 'Mom' is going to turn out to be Cadence.
...actually, put that way, Rumble's ability to mix two compatible auras to get two ponies to realize mutual attraction sounds a lot like Cadence's love spells. Is Cadence 'Mom'? Is the Princess of Love actually a Succubus?
6358431 You know I was thinking Luna... but damn if that makes even more sense. The Princess of Love is a canon emotion reader/manipulator, and so far the cubi powers are merely scaled down versions of her own. It makes perfect sense that she is the "Mother" of all cubi.

6358431 I too, am wondering the same things.
Also, I don't use this often, but this chapter deserves it.
