During one evening, Gustav entered the academy as he rode a ship which had fake wings and a flamethrower

"Come on, boy, let's fly" Gustav cheered as he fired the flamethrower but he accidentally lit some crates "Oh no"

Gustav jumped off the sheep and tried to blow the flames out but it wasn't working "Oh no, oh no, what do we do? What do we do?" he asked as the sheep ran off with its wool of fire

Suddenly, some water fell on the fire, so Gustav looked around and saw Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout and Blake on their respective dragons

"Gustav, how many times have we told you? you can't play here" Hiccup said as he got off Toothless

"I'm not playing, I'm dragon training" Gustav said

"Poor kid. Ever since I let him into my inner circle, he wants to be just like his hero, me" Snotlout said smugly

"Gross and annoying?" Astrid asked

"No! a dragon rider" Gustav said

"Gustav, are you sure you want to be a dragon rider? Because if we tell you every detail you haven't heard about, you're going to run away terrified" Blake said

"Look around, kid. All of the dragon-ridding positions are taken, so unless one of us kicks the bucket you're out of luck" Snotlout said

"I'm going to kick the bucket!" Snotlout said

Apparently, it has been at least week since the incident with Gustav, all of the teens were at the academy looking at a board with a map of Outcast Island that Blake made with the help of Hiccup

"Uh, Snotlout, do you mind? We're having a Dagur meeting" Hiccup said

"Dagur's here?" Tuffnut asked

"In the last week, I've seen three of the five Signposts to Valhalla" Snotlout said

"We know!" all of the teens said annoyed

"You know? And you're just standing there talking about stupid Dagur? One of your bravest and most treasured warriors is about to leave this world forever!" Snotlout said

"Look on the bright side. At least you'll be in eternal paradise" Tuffnut said

"So will we" Astrid said

"Joke all you want about me, but what about Hookfang?" Snotlout asked

"He doesn't look sad, Snotlout" Blake said

"The thought of him without me for the rest of his life, it's just-" as he sadly walked away

"Are you done?" Hiccup asked

"No, not even close" Snotlout said as he walked towards some barrels and pulling Gustav from behind them "Though devastated and still in pre-mourning, Gustav has volunteered to carry on the Snotlout legacy"

"It is an honor" Gustav said

"Please... for the love of Thor... please tell this is some kind of bad joke" Blake sighed as he facepalmed himself

"Snotlout, the Five Signposts to Valhalla is nothing but an old wives' tale" Hiccup said

"Oh, yeah? Then why have I seen the Flying fish, the Weeping Rock and the Singing Tree?" Snotlout asked holding up four of his fingers, so Gustav corrected him

"You probably saw a salmon spawning, wet rocks on the beach and a gust of wind" Fishlegs said

"Besides, the Five Signposts to Valhalla are only supposed to happen to great warriors" Astrid said
