I think the theme here is revenge. This is an angry dragon waiting for night so it can fly burning through the sky for vengeance.

My choices are:

Influences of religion

fair play is important in battle

Good and evil are protrayed through physical appearence

Greed will destroy

Being placed in exile influences behavoir

or'

Heroic traits reflec a particular culture. Anglo Saxon heroes enbody courage, strenth and virtue

What supporting concept best exemplify "Nor have I ever seen out of all men on earth, one greater than comes with you, no commoner carries such weapons

This particular quote is about the dragon and his majestic dark revenge. I'm not sure which of your choices really match.
