Deadpan Love (Teen Titans, complete).

Time once again for A Thing of Vikings, the continuing sto~ry of a former blacksmith's apprentice who has gone to the dogs the adventures of the first Dragonlord when he was a boy!

Once again, we are grateful to the Waterford University Archives for allowing us to quote from an undated draft of The Wing and the Ax, in which Queen Marshal Astrid Haddock I Wrote:One of the great advantages of dragon-mounted warfare is the freedom of movement it grants.  Control of the air grants incredible supremacy over those below; a simple rock dropped from above becomes a deadly weapon, and the armory available to a dragon-rider is vaster than mere sticks and stones.  But the weapons alone are only part of that supremacy.  Ground-level enemy forces cannot stand in your way unless you choose to fight them.  Enemy leaders become targets or traps, huddled under half of their army for fear of being plucked like ripe fruit. 
For all of the peaceful uses of dragons and their abilities, in war, they make it so that the only thing that can fight or defend against a dragon-armed force on anything resembling equal footing is another dragon-armed force.  And while exceptions abounded in those early years—at the First Battle of the Seine River, for example, or the New Year Fire-Rout—part of that was due to a lack of understanding in how to properly use dragons on the battlefield.  But it swiftly became apparent to everyone in those early days that there were two options: Either one has dragons, or one is beholden to one who has dragons. 
There was, and is, really no middle ground.

Out on the great steppes, this principle is demonstrated, as a gathering of the Cuman and Kipchak chieftains gets an offer from Drago Bludvist, and one of the chieftains who first reject it gets to see the results. In the Icelandic village of Höfn, Mildew inspects a fresh batch of captives and finds one of them standing out from the rest. In Genoa, Viggo discusses future prospects with one of his newest employees. In his smithy on Berk, Gobber talks craft with his new apprentice, then business with Stoick. In Constantinople, Sigurd attends another boring party, which becomes significantly less boring when he gets away from his bodyguards. After a cutaway to Kyiv, where Tuffnut has to negotiate from a literal sickbed, Sigurd's situation is resolved by the same sort of politics that provoked it. Esther bat Rivkah arrives in Vedrarfjord with her brother and sister, and there gets a small but significant shot of Berk-induced culture shock. In the mire of Cors Fochno, Cami's duties to the Bog-Burglar village are interrupted by a sister with an unexpected offer. And we close back in Constantinople, where Dogsbreath and Inga have a heavy news dump for Snotlout Sigurd Snotlout...

To Label The Stars: The Cultural Impact Of Names, Kyoto University Press, Ltd. Wrote:One of the great paradoxes that comes from the study of history is that historians are forced to simultaneously speak in both concrete and abstract terms.  We say 'the society decided to change' at the same time as we speak of the leaders making specific decisions.  But the society did not decide to change.  The Hooligans of Berk, for example, did not, as some abstract whole, decide to adopt dragons and grow to become the core of a new sovereign nation over the next five years.  Nor did then-Chief Stoick's decision to allow for the adoption of dragons force this decision.  No.  Individuals within that society decided to change, in how they acted or how they viewed the world, while others did not.  And yet we are forced to speak in the aggregate, the cumulative, taking the broad trend of the social unit and applying it to all members inside.  We can recognize the individual dissenters when their dissent from the mean is sufficient to stand out, and yet this very recognition paints a degree of uniformity on the rest that is both unrealistic and unearned. 
Furthermore, referring to the aggregate of the society in the abstract creates a false impression of their numbers, simply due to the common fallacies of equivocation and false equivalence (i.e. we call them the same thing, ergo we see them as being roughly the same).  We project ourselves and our own modern expectations and experiences with current political entities onto the past, despite those historical units being vastly smaller, simpler, and less developed).  We speak of the Byzantine Empire and the North Sea Empire as two simple units.  Due to the difficulties that many have with comprehending large numbers and larger scales, the typical comprehension of the concept of "Empire" lends itself to a false equivalence, that one Empire is much like another Empire in size, population, economy, culture and so forth, but that mental abstraction again does a disservice in scale.  To illustrate, consider that, in AD 1040, there were more people occupying Constantinople and the Thracian farmland immediately outside the city's famous walls than there were in all of the island of Eire in that same year.  Meanwhile, Sweden, Norway and Denmark together had less than a million people combined, while the city of Baghdad alone had over a million people sheltering behind its walls.  And again, in making such comparisons, we fall prey to the lure of the abstract, of referencing the masses of otherwise anonymous people as conglomerate wholes. 
But at the same time, such abstraction is necessary; we do not have the data to be able to conclusively say that, out of the approximately 300,000 Albans who lived under King Mac Bethad's rule, 68,821 agreed with his stated desire for continued independence from Berk's influence, while another 121,749 would have been happier if he had made overtures of integration prior to his fatal duel with Astrid clan Haddock.  Such precision is not available to us and we are thus forced to speak in the abstract and the aggregate, erasing the heterogeneous beliefs and attitudes of entire generations—save those individuals who had the foresight to record their thoughts, or the impact that inspired others to record them.

In Rouen, Duke William gets a message from a Dragon Mail rider and considers the politics of his neighbors. One mile east of Bun Ilidh, Kerr and a few of his fellow fishermen* set out to warn Berk about Jarl Mildew. At Al Jazīra Al-Khadrā, on the bay of Jabal Ṭāriq, Viggo completes the first phase of his plan and explains it to Alvin, along with Alvin's role in its future. In a Constantinople brothel the morning after, Sigurd Snotlout meets up with two of the people he most needs to see, who have bad or at least urgent news for him, and one of the two people he least wants to, who is bad news for him.

In the final fit of the Secondary Phase, in a quote I wanted to use last time, the late great Douglas Adams Wrote:And since this is of course an immensely frustrating and nervewracking moment for the narrative suddenly to switch tracks again, that is precisely what the narrative will now do.

Kerr and company arrive at the Inbhir Nis and meet with delays at the Dragon Mail station. At the Vedrarfjord skyport, Esther sees the skycarts running to schedule, including one with a particularly Vast escort. Back in Constantinople, Snotlout gets back to barracks with enough dignity that he can at least pretend to be Sigurd until the pretense becomes equal to the presence of Sigurd. In Inbhir Nis, Mac Bethad learns about the incident at the mail station and takes steps to deal with the fallout. Esther and her siblings arrive on Berk, meet up with their mother, and discuss what it's going to mean to be Jewish on Berk. In the Imperial Palace, Sigurd brings Dogsbreath and Inga to meet the Empress. On the Sea of Marmara, on final approach to Constantinople, Hiccup wonders if there's anything he could've done differently...
