It gets even better....After just running past the dragon because I really am not in the mood at half health to fight a wyrm,It turns out there are two caves in that area pretty close to eachother,and with my luck ofc i took the wrong one
so now to double back I find out the entrance to the cave I took is apparently the spawn point for that dragon i just ran past cuz he greeted me with his back as soon as i got out of the cave
After I had a panicattack, I run past him...again...and find the right cave with the dumb kid inside getting attacked by a couple wolves,I talk to him,he thanks me yadda yadda now I'm half tempted to grab him and go throw him to the dragon after all the shit this quest put me through...
