The Roman Redress
The Roman Redress
Opening...
Nearly a year after the events of How to Train your Dragon, and Berk is barely recognizable. Humans and dragon live side-by-side, managing, after much trial and error, to find a symbiotic existence. The interspecies peace is maintained by Hiccup and his personally-trained peers through the Dragon Training Academy. Astrid and Hiccup have grown closer over time; their teetering relationship slowly drifts from uncertain to comfortable. Things are well for the Hooligans but not quite smooth. Already burdened by responsibilities no Viking has faced before, Hiccup’s father is now "gently" pressuring him to take on even more—the Becoming Chief sort of
The gal in the middle somehow reminds me of Gudrid, who, if your other comments are anything to go by, she is not.
Can't say about the other gentlemen, except to say that they do look quite exceedingly Roman.
Not sure how you'd pull this one off, historically -- the research I've been spurred to by Hitchups has told me that the Romans were kinda over and done with a few centuries before the Vikings cropped up. Should be interesting to see, should you feel the itch to fic.
I'm really, really glad the other guys look Roman though. Especially the old guy - I rarely draw old guys but this one happened to turn out looking appropriately old.
The Vikings and Romans overlapped only very slightly. The Roman Empire was already dying down when the Vikings were busting down doors. In the HTTYD books there are Romans - Hiccup is captured in one of them. For this story, though it wasn't mentioned in the synopsis, Rome is already suffering financial problems and many Old Names are falling to ruin. The Vikings are like that final foot stomping them out.
Have you read the synopsis?
