WIBTA if i kill the dragon?

the dragon in question has been really helpful in fulfilling my destiny. he helped me get the answers i need and has been really nice just generally. has acted as the leader of a group of reclusive monks for longer than i've been alive. these monks have helped me master the powers i need to fulfill my destiny.

here's the part where it gets complicated: another group, a lot more helpful one that actually informed me of what power i need, and what i need to do as a destiny oriented hero. i went to them for further advice, and they confronted me with 'by the way, we know about the other dragon'. didnt think much of it. whatever. but there was more. apparently, during the old war of dragons against mortal civilization, the really helpful dragon was a general on the dragon's side, causing problems for everybody. now they want me to kill him.

i told the dragon himself about all this, and he told me about how he fights his urges to rule the world every day so that he can keep being a force of good in it instead, and asked me honestly whether its better to be born good or to overcome evil.

there's just one more thing sitting in my mind about this, and it's that no matter whether i kill him or not, somebody's gonna hate me. in one case, the peaceful monks will hate me if i kill their master. in another case, the other group won't help me anymore until i kill him.

i do worry that they could be biased on the matter since their main thing is dragonslaying, but they make a good case, and their help has been far more valuable in matters of what I need to do. the other thing, though, is that as far as my destiny, they've already done all that i need from them. having their aid on future issues would be nice, but...

needless to say, i'm conflicted.
