The next Dragon comes from the failure of the next Arisen to take the place of you as Seneschal. It's the Seneschal's duty to defend his/her position against all who approach, just as it's the Dragon's duty to select those who possess those with the will to overcome hopeless obstacles.

It makes no sense that Grigori only chose one Arisen for these tests. After all, a number of NPCs speak of other Arisens who have appeared in the past, only to disappoint and disappear. it's certainly plausible that any number of them have simply decamped and abandoned their duties, determined to enjoy their immortality while it lasts.
