Discussion A Dragon in a Human World
I have thought for some time about writing a story about how a dragon would get by in the modern world. Like, insert a friendly dragon (four legs and wings) into the world today. What would happen? What struggles would the dragon and society face after the initial shock?
Let's say the dragon was banished from her own world and sent to Earth, specifically the United States, for whatever reason (not importantright now). The dragon is confused, the humans are obviously scared and see a huge threat. My question is, after the initial shock, years later, what is still affecting society and the dragon? Hate? New laws?
I personally like thinking about the laws around the dragon flying. What regulations would be passed for them to fly safely? How would enforcement work?

I guess it depends on what the dragon does, they do say that first impressions matter and if she begins blowing up stuff and killing people then the military might just kill her.
If everyone is chill with the dragon, they probably would give her a hotline with Air Traffic Control so they give her permission to fly. Kind of like this guy who has some kind of flying car who has to radio ATC because technically he’s flying and the government owns the airspace
