Spoon make's food, Then almost dies

over the last couple of days some crazy stuff happened.
it started off small, working a part-time Job while I wait for the others to finish up what they were doing,
heading back over to the king, and sending a letter to my fathers. but then a few days later I nearly died to this guy,
I don't even know who he was. we just kind of ran in, then someone killed him.
and after 0 seconds of debate we decided to tame the dragon he had. I'm kind of confused but that's ok, Eric and Retkon will handle it.
