Own a dragon or be a dragon? Can anyone help me out with my grammar mistakes? Thank you :)

The writing prompt: Would you rather… own a dangerous fire-breathing dragon or be a dangerous fire-breathing dragon? 

If I had a choice between being a mythical fiery beast and owning it, I would definitely choose the first option. 
Why, would you ask me? To have your private fierce dragon seems to be a more lucrative opportunity rather than to be a one. Some would even say that it is the chance of a lifetime to conquest the whole world or to do whatever you need or want. The entire appearance of that fabled creature with its huge scaly body and enormous gilded wings is able to make even the mightiest enemies shake with fear. The owning of a dragon would make you feel like as the world is in the palm of your hand.

However, I do not want to pursue power and authority and, for sure, do not want to be a ruler of everything. For me, the dragon, that fabulous winged being with a fiery breath, is a symbol of freedom and independency. Instead of using of its breathtaking might, I would decide to be the breathtaking might, which would fly through the clouds, towards the sun, free from all human petty problems.
