You sure made a massive post!

The 'resting' dragon, may I use her? In my story, my character, Robert, makes up a story about the time when mankind and magic still existed in one universe. He has a girl dragon stay away from her kind too long and she is declared dead, so that another dragon can be conceived, and thus she becomes a woman (of mankind). The matriarch of her dragon cave finds her and pretends to sleep while she listen to the young one talk. I thought this image looks perfect for that scene.
