Moonbouce could smell something as she slowly woke up, something burnt. Oh no! Had somepony burnt breakfast?! Well she liked her stuff slightly burnt anyway as it was more crunchy that way. Then she heard someone screaming in pain, and was that the smell of burnt meat?
Moonbounce opened her eyes, rubbing them groggily as thestrals ran past her in retreat. As she yawned she noticed three things. 1, the mare in front of her was now extra crispy. 2, there was a large purple dragon in front of her. Also 3, there was a section of the barracks wall missing, how strange. Still being sleepy it took her a few moments to connect the dots. Though perhaps watching Nox, her commanding officer, get snatched up by the jaws of the beast, screaming in terror, helped her get some perspective on the situation.
So obviously the dragon was attacking. Oh and its claw was coming down to crush her. Oh no. She jumped out of the way getting grazed by the claw across her flank which left her bleeding a little but otherwise fine. It was this that fully woke her up at least, though meanwhile half the barracks was now on fire.
So now that she knew what was going on, and was not half asleep she had some life changing decisions to make. Clearly this dragon had to have a plan if it was attacking the guards, right? Perhaps she could reason with it and convince it to let her join its team. Seriously, it was not fair that it was the only one eating ponies today. Though she could also run for it like the rest of her troop, after all dragons were dangrous. On the other hoof if she somehow defeated it she was guaranteed to be promoted on the spot, maybe she would get Nox's position since he was now slipping down a dragon throat.
