What were the chances of a human coming into contact with a red dragon out in the wild?
Slim.
Unreasonably slim.
Probably the same as picking one exact second out of five months and nine days and getting it right on the first try.
And what about the chances of surviving that encounter?
That was even worse.
To put it simply, if the odds of a human getting struck by lightning over an eighty-year lifespan sat somewhere around one in fifteen thousand, then a person was easily twenty thousand times more likely to get hit by lightning than to survive touching a red dragon without external intervention.
And that was without considering one very important detail.
This particular human had never even left the general confines of predominantly human settlements.

Dragons from other clans weren't impossible to encounter. Rare, yes, but not unheard of.
