It had been a long while since you'd met Viggo. You've learnt how to read, write and basic self defense.
Viggo had said that he was going to do a trade in the Northern Markets. A trade for an extremely rare item.
He had originally wanted you to stay on the island while he did the trade. Because "The Northern Markets are a dangerous place."
But after some convincing he agreed to letting you on the ship.
The only catch was that you were not allowed to step foot off the ship. But there was no rule against spying on him.
Viggo had given you a spyglass a week ago. He had it custom-made for you, along with a dagger.
You found yourself sitting in the cockpit, watching Viggo's every move.
You saw the people, merchants and buyers if you will. They scrambled out of Viggo's way when he walked through the crowd.
'People must really fear him.'
You heard a rumour that he usually doesn't do trades, even more, arrive in person. He would usually send Ryker to do business.
You saw him take a right. And stop Infront of a shop before entering.
A hunter followed with a sack of gold coins and a moment later Viggo exited with another, smaller bag. He looked back to the docks, and locked eyes with you. You put the spyglass down and gave him a smile He flashed a small one too before ridding of it and telling the hunters to head back.

Viggo had shown you the item he bought. It was some sort of liquid in a small glass tube. He wants to capture a dragon, likely the last of its species. And because of that last part, the dragon will be worth a fortune. He knows that Berk knows the cure for the Scourge of Odin, and that it spreads. And now he only needs a plan. You had suggested to somehow transfer the disease to a Dragon Rider, as Viggo had recently found their base. A Berkian wouldn't get much attention, therefore less chances of help.
Viggo said he could sacrifice a fishing crew. He could expose the disease to them via food and send them towards the island. Someone on patroll will get it.
"Who are you going to sacrifice?"
He looked at you with an astonished expression
"I thought you would be more bothered by sacrifice." He admitted
Your face was blank.
"Should I?"
A moment of silence passes.
"I'll probably use the more useless ones." He continues.
"That sounds reasonable." You agreed.

You heard a Nadder screech and heavy feet land on the ship, followed by lighter ones. It's Astrid. You had been tasked to stay in a safe and uninfected part of the ship to make sure the Dragon Rider gets the disease.
"Abandoned, let's get out of here"
You knew the planning couldn't go to waste. You knocked a shelf over, pots and pans fall on a barely alive hunter, and quickly and quietly retreat back to your safe spot.
"Hello?"
You stayed silent
"Hello? Someone there?"
You heard her complain about the smell of the dead bodies and order her dragon to light up a torch.
She saw the bodies and gasped in horror, a fisherman scratched her out of sheer desperation she ran out.
'Mission accomplished'
You heard her say something and her dragon leave. You leaped out of your hiding spot, expertly dodging the dead bodies. You took a deep breath once you were out, not at all missing the foul odor of the bodies.
It was a clear night. Not a single cloud in sight. You fired the flare up to the sky. Viggo's men should be here to fetch you any minute
