In chapter 13 of The Last Dragonslayer, Jennifer meets a man named Brian Spalding. Brian is an old man who is the most recent dragonslayer of the dragon. Jennifer meets him on a bench and they have small talk at first. Then, they both find out that they are waiting for each other. Brian then takes Jennifer to the Dragonstation and quickly makes Jennifer the last dragonslayer. She is hesitant and not very sure about what to do. She is now the last dragonslayer and has nobody to help her. The central idea of this chapter is to have Jennifer become the important role of the last dragonslayer without the knowledge of what to do next.
