There are already some good ones in the twitter thread, but let's come up with some more!
"When the studios, as independent corporate bodies, fell apart in the late 1950s and early 1960s, assembly-line film production ended. And then the dragons arrived."
"On Sunday, the eleventh of November, 196-, while sitting at the bar of the New Parrot Restaurant in my home town, Watertown, New York, awaiting the telecast of the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys football game, I had what, at the time, I took to be a heart attack. And then the dragons arrived."

This can't be topped.
I just picked a handful of books from my library though and thought this was also nice. From Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha:
In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. And then the dragons arrived.

"See the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He strokes the scullery fire. And then the dragons arrive."
"All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true. One guy I knew really was shot in Dresden for taking a teapot that wasn't his. And then the dragons arrived."
"'Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow,' said Mrs. Ramsay. 'But you'll have to be up with lark,' she added.
To her son these words conveyed an extraordinary joy, as if it were settled, the expedition were bound to take place, and the wonder to which he had looked forward, for years and years it seemed was, after a night's darkness and a day's sail, within touch.
And then the dragons arrived."
