Hildy Ghael is living a relatively uncomplicated life on Earth until she and other women are whisked away to Kingdom. When arriving in Kingdom, the ladies from Earth are paired with guards. When it appeared that all the guards were doomed by an a handful of attacking dragons, Hildy makes a decision to emerge from the castle and bring the battle to the winged opponents. In this scene, she realizes the immensity of her gambit.
