You find a safe cave in the mountians
It is easy to get to the river to retrieve water.
You are able to find good hunting grounds within a days walk from your cave.
As the months go by, the dragon grows rapidly, and you become connected with him.
You do not see the ferocious beast that is told of in legends,
but you do not know what could happen as the dragon continues to grow.
You have to make the decision on if you are going to continue this life
and become a dragon rider in an attempt to show the world that dragons are not terrible.
or kill the dragon and return home to the world you know.
