Previous Chapter

The captain looked at her troops, and smiled. The newbies this season were shaping up to be quite talented, if a bit lazy for some of them. That Thunderlane kid needed a good kick in the tail, which was why she'd enjoyed pairing her with Dash after that whole Lightning Dust incident. It helped to get the spectrum colored girl over herself, and to get the whole group moving again. Idly, she looked over towards the distant peak, where Lightning would be staying, waiting for the next batch of trainees, and her second shot.

Smiling to herself, the captain sat down on a blanket spread out on the ground, a picnic blanket with a basket she'd had some of the recruits bring out for her earlier. Settling with her feet crossed, she patted at a basket beside the blanket, and pulled the top off, before rummaging around inside. Soon enough, her hand emerged with a burger bun, and then two more dives found her grabbing twin jars, one with brown stuff in it, and the other with rainbow patterned gunk.

Overhead from where the captain lay, a tiny dragon was making his way through the sky, trying to catch every errant wind that would drive him closer to his destination back in the mess hall of the academy, and his home. Luckily, he found a few good ones, and was making excellent time, probably going to make it home in less than a day. Of course, some of those winds were being enjoyed by others, and when the dragon felt a shadow pass over him, he turned just in time to find a rainbow colored pegasus passing by, before a flap of her wings shot him downward.

Spitfire, using a small knife from her belt, was finished covering the bottom bun with peanut butter, and was slapping the other with the Zap Apple Jam from Ponyville. Great sweet stuff that, which she smeared on the bread, here head turned away from the bottom bun, so she didn't notice a tiny shape splat into her lunch. Instead, she just casually shut the shape inside the sandwich, squishing the two halves of the bun together, and then licking her lips as she opened her mouth.

The tiny dragon, landing in something gooey, tried to pull himself free the instant he was down, only to be covered by something heavy, and just as gooey above. That would have sealed his fate had he been a little bigger, and not able to find air bubbles in the stuff, taking deep gasping breathes that tasted of peanut butter and something else, something sweet. Whatever it was, he was frantically digging his way through the gunk, only to be stopped in his tracks when something huge, white, and shiny tore though the bread and good around him.

That white thing was revealed a second later to be a tooth, one belonging to a rather gruff looking titan in some odd dress. He'd seen her sometime before, a god among gods who commanded others with just her glares. Right now though, she was smiling upward, staring at something he couldn't see, while her maw worked on its load, her jaw dropping time and again, before, at last, she tilted her head back, and swallowed hard.

The dragon then found himself staring into her maw, as she opened wide, and he panicked, trying desperately to pull himself free of the sticky gunk he was tangled in, only to find that his wings refused to pull themselves from his back, and so he was forced to watch as that massive mouth came down, the hot humid breath blowing over him, before it consumed him, sealing him in the darkness of her body.

Spitfire, taking another bite, almost wanted to shout at somepony who was taking a few too many risky dives for her taste, but kept her mouth shut. She wasn't on duty right now, and Rainbow Dash needed to learn how to rein in her troops. So the captain just sat on the hill, working her jaws around the mouthful of bread and goo, before she brought a thermos full of milk to her mouth, and washed it down her throat with a deep gulp.
