The only thing that Tuigalen could possibly think was that they were expecting the base to be relatively undefended during training maneuvers, and figured that they could easily knock out many of the younger dragons. If they killed some of the younger ones then additional pressure would be placed on the older ones of course.<br/><br/>He hadn't thought of the fact at the moment that someone might have thought badly of black dragons, so she might very well have actually been onto something. The Major hardly had the opportunity to think that true for the moment, but she could have been actually quite right.<br/><br/>"Know more about them?! You cannot hesitate in the heat of battle!" If she hadn't sprayed her breath as he had initially asked they would soon be finished. She would have to avoid the burning ball that was hurtling toward them as he shouted.<br/><br/>Motioning once more with his hand where to fire, he maintained the best calm that he had could. He had done this before, but with a much more experienced dragon.<br/><br/>"Fire! There! Release your breath!" He didn't know anything more about the enemy, and at the moment he figured that was not important. They were trying to kill him and her, and that meant that they had to be neutralized at any cost.<br/><br/>They were attacked and they had to fight back or perish.
