the reign of the gods over the world began odin reigned from high above in his throne in Asgard but despite being quite a sagacious God he was aware that he didn't know everything and so he began a quest for wisdom he disguised himself as a wanderer and started to roam in Dutton hime the land of the giants enemies of the gods Mamere lived in this kingdom a quite ancient deity who was Odin's uncle there he lived next to the well of knowledge the waters of this well-fed Yggdrasil the tree of the worlds Mamere using the horn of Gjallarhorn drank the blood water and so his knowledge about the world kept expanding Odin arrived at his uncle's well and asked to drink a bit of the water of knowledge Mamiya I'm your nephew and Lord of the gods but how can I be worthy of my title if I cannot reach true wisdom being a relative of mine or Lord of the gods don't give you the right to drink from my well the price is too high tell me what's the price then because I'm willing to pay it the price is your eye I want you to pluck your eye out and throw it into the well and so you can drink from it Odin knew that Mamere was not someone fond of bluffing and jokes and realized that he would need to pay a high price if he wanted to reach true wisdom the great God didn't hesitate and indeed he plucked his eye out his yell of pain was so loud that it echoed throughout the universe Odin placed his eye inside the water of the well and the sacrifice pleased Mamere he offered him a horn with water of his well and asked the God to drink everything at once after having drunk the contents of the vessel the father of all got filled with knowledge the place once occupied by his eye was replaced with a major scar which sometimes emanated an intense brightness Odin then became known as the one-eyed or the one of the flaming eye from that day forward Odin started to see the world with much more clarity and now with just one eye he could see much better than he had with both sif the goddess and wife of the Mighty Thor had beautiful and long golden hair and from all the goddesses traits her hair was the one that attracted the Thunder God the most but one day Thor woke up and was faced with a bald woman in his bed and yelled who are you which and what have you done with my beloved SIF the gods stunned recognized his wife and shouted Loki the scream was heard throughout the whole kingdom of Asgard during the night Loki the god of mischief concoct innate another of his pranks while the goddess was sleeping he cut her beautiful hair the Thunder God dragged Loki up to his room where SIF cried copiously look at what you have done how did you dare to cut my wife's hair what now do I have to parade with a bald wife right by my side have you ever thought about the possibility of making her wear a hat Thor lifted Loki from the floor and said if you do not find a way to make mice if regain her splendor I will break every single one of your bones considering that threat the god of mischief started to think of a way to solve that situation until he had an idea so he departed towards fartole hime the dwarf land he was aware that these skillful dwarves were able to do anything but before that he would have to convince them then he looked for the brothers sons of Ivaldi who were skillful craftsmen and said you don't know the latest news the gods will conduct a trial to establish who the best craftsmen are and the brothers Brokk and Eitri said that you sons of Ivaldi do not have the slightest chance that's an outrage those pierced clumsy hands will not have the slightest chance against us very well but there is one condition you have to do three gifts for the gods and one of them has to be a long golden hair that never stops growing loke departed to incite the brothers Brokk and Eitri to establish a competition he will not believe this the sons of Ivaldi will participate in a contest promoted by the gods to decide who the best craftsmen are and they said you don't have any chance given that you are nothing but a bunch of clumsy guys clumsy guys huh that's quite typical of the sons of Ivaldi but we will not compete everybody already knows that we are much better so we have nothing to gain I bet that you are not better than the legendary brothers of all dicin I would bet my own head on it the head of the most elusive of God seems a nice prize to me I accept the bet Loki trembled but did not step back and accepted the bet he also knew that Brokk and Eitri were better than the sons of Ivaldi but now he would have to use all of his cunning talents to untangle himself from that mess Loki was in a stalemate to retrieve the hair of the goddess SIF the god of mischief instigated a clash between two families of dwarves and these would compete to see who the best craftsman was and the gods of Asgard Odin Thor Frey would be the judges to enable the clash Loki's head was literally at stake due to a bet made with Brokk and Eitri the dwarves sons of Ivaldi started to make their gifts for the gods and Loki noticed that everything seemed to went well but the God realized that the other pair was doing something outstanding Loki then understood he had to intervene Brokk and Eitri had already built two beautiful gifts but they were certainly crafting the greatest of all works it was a powerful hammer to achieve perfection the dwarves had to keep the Ford an ideal temperature not a degree more or less and Brock did his work by pumping the bellows with great precision Loki noticed he had to act quickly and turned himself into a large hematogenous mosquito he flew to Brock and painfully stung his hand the dwarf withstood the pain and continued his work then Loki attacked with an even stronger sting in his neck the dwarf unleashed painful cries but resisted the God then decided to attack the dwarves eyes he closed his eyes and the eyelids were attacked the agony was unbearable and the dwarf stopped pumping the bellows due to the temperature change the hammers handle broke loki considered his mission accomplished and went away the time for the great clash had arrived and the dwarfs sons of Ivaldi presented their gifts to the gods the goddess SIF wife of Thor was gifted with new hair made of gold seeing the goddess with her splendor back loki felt some relief odin was gifted a beautiful and powerful spear capable of piercing anything and every oath made under that spear would be unbreakable frey was given a huge boat which could be folded so many times to the point where it could fit into a pocket those were three impressive gifts much to Loki's relief the turn of Brokk and Eitri had come the latter still had puffy eyes because of the sting he gave bracelets made of drop near gold to Odin a material from which every eight nights new bracelets would fall from it like drops these could serve as honorary ornaments or a way to increase wealth Frey was given a huge bore with golden fur which could be mounted the creature could fly and never be tired and his shine drove the darkness away and Thor's time finally arrived and he was given a hammer this is a beautiful hammer but its handle is too short I understand your disappointment but don't judge this hammer by its handle its name is Mjolnir it is indestructible and its power is almost indescribable when thrown it never misses its target and always comes back to its owner such a marvelous piece with this powerful hammer no giant will be a match for me Odin Thor and Freya greed that from all those gifts the mule near hammer was certainly the best despite all the tricks Loki's plan collapsed and now his head was demanded as a prize now I want your head broke he said already sharpening his axe but Loki had one last play you can sever my head as long as you do not damage a single piece of my neck the agreement says that you can only have my head you cheater how will I get your head without damaging the neck then Odin intervened if people paid more attention to the words used they would never negotiate with the cunning Loki the trickster god brokey to punish loki sewed his mouth so that he would never deceive anyone again for a long time but at least the cheater kept his head on his neck and the gods of Asgard received magnificent artifacts the kingdom of Asgard had many enemies but these dreaded the power of the Mighty Thor the champion of the gods however during Thor's absence Asgard became vulnerable and therefore the gods decided that a fortification would be necessary its edification would eventually take several years but a strong traveler appeared someone who claimed to be a great builder willing to build the wall in record time but as a reward he wanted the beautiful goddess Freyja as his wife obviously the gods refused such outrageous proposal but the cunning Loki noticed that the Builder suggestion was not that bad think with me my friends he claims to be able to build this immense wall in just one year and that is impossible let's suggest the following term if he does not complete the wall within that timeframe he will not get anything and since the task is impossible when the time is up he will have to build a great part of the wall and then we will just have to finish the rest sparing great efforts convinced the gods presented the proposal to the constructor who promptly acepted the terms and started the construction he was very strong and piled the stones up with ease and relied on the help of a powerful horse that brought him stones taken from distant quarries time was ticking and the wall was being built quickly the deadline was about to end but the gods noticed that the builder was almost finishing his task Odin was furious with Loki look at what you have done the wall is almost ready we will almost certainly lose our beloved Freya to this man and this is all your fault I said that this man could not be able to build this wall and I will make sure he does not look he realized that without the help of his powerful stallion the manufacturer would not have the stones needed to complete the task and ready to plan to push the great horse out of the working scene and using his powers and metamorphoses Loki turned himself into a beautiful mayor with the intent to seduce the great horse the powerful horse was fascinated by the God in disguise and went after the mayor thirsty with desire Loki desperately ran as fast as he could and disappeared over the horizon but the stallion at his heels the manufacturer without the help of his horse could not finish his work within the deadline and rebelled against the gods he tore his robe which revealed that the Builder was actually a giant's furiously he yelled damn gods of Asgard you are simply cheaters and therefore you will meet you and the maddened giant launched an attack Thor also known as the destroyer of giants fought against him and crushed his head with his hammer the gods completed the rest of the wall and Asgard was safe nevertheless much time passed until Loki's resurgence who had disappeared after trying to flee from the parables of a Volare horse and in his return he brought with him an exotic eight-legged cult this follow Loki wherever he was the small cult grew and became the most powerful and fastest horse of all Loki gifted him to with the following condition nobody could ever ask him the origin of the majestic horse that would be known as sleepin ear [Music] Thor the God of Thunder had won the mighty hammer Mjolnir as a gift thanks to Loki's prank with this hammer Thor defended the kingdom of Asgard tackling any sort of threat but one day after waking up Thor sensed that his hammer was missing the God looked for Mjolnir in his room and only thought a message which said if you want to recover your beloved hammer visit me in my domains so that we can negotiate you will get it back in exchange for an appropriate ransom signed Thrym Thor knew that nobody was a better negotiator than Loki the god of mischief t and therefore he asked him to go to thrills meeting in the land of giants loki arrived at rims palace and choten heimer and facing the giant loki began the negotiations dear Thor come closer because my sight is not as good as in the past you're now slimmer than the last time we met Loki noticed that the Giants site was indeed impaired because the differences between him and the god of thunder were enormous after negotiating the god returned to Asgard with Grimm's proposal and presented to the Acer gods the giant was willing to give back the hammer if Freya the most beautiful of goddesses was delivered to him as a wife the gods considered the proposal outrageous but without the hammer Mjolnir Thor could not defend asgaard that was when loki had an unusual idea to say the least before i need you to wear this it was a wedding dress how dare you insult me this way calm down calm down I will explain my plan later loki knew that the giant site was as good as a moles and so he wanted to take thor tooth rims palace disguised as the goddess Freyja thor without another alternative dressed as a bride and went with loki also disguised as a servant of goddess freyja when they arrived in Jotun Heim the ladies were very well received welcome to my palace I prepared a banquet in honor of the beautiful goddess the giant would have to be deeply short-sighted to the point of confusing the bulky God dressed as a bride with a beautiful maiden soon after taking his seat at the banquet table Thor began to voraciously devour everything in front of him Wow such a voracious appetite you have my new wife I have never seen a goddess as gluttonous as you are then loki said i think she wants to finish the banquet as soon as possible so that you can consummate your union thor furiously looked at loki who appeared to find the situation quite whimsical let's toward them burning the hammer and we will seal this agreement and get things settled one of the giant's lackeys brought the hammer and placed it in front of the bride thor grabbed the hammer and so he could finally unleash all of his rage the god of thunder smashed all the Giants lackeys with his hammer and Thrym had his head open like a melon let's go home loki i can't wait to get this damn dress off of me don't you know that a good widow must wear black with the return of Thor and his hammer Mjolnir the kingdom of Asgard was safe again and the gods never stopped to have fun at the Valhalla banquets telling the story of when Thor dressed like a bride [Music] Loki the god of mischief was married to seekin and together they had nari and Vaali slept near Odin's glorious eight-legged horse was also part of Loki's offspring and was conceived in a story that is nothing short of exquisite loki also had anga buddha as a lover a beautiful Jotun who lived in Jotun hime together they would give birth to a frightening offspring one night Odin the ruler of Asgard had a premonition the God envisioned a major battle between the Asgardians and the forces of darkness and Loki's offspring would have a major role in that quarrel his last vision was centered on the jaw of a massive wolf and then his vision fell into utmost darkness Odin gathered the gods of Asgard and forced Loki to reveal where his children were living with the giant s the gods then left for Jotun hime trying to catch the sons of Loki after reaching the dwell of the giant on board ax the gods kidnapped Jotuns children Loki's offspring were still quite young one was a snake another was a wolf cub and there was a beautiful girl as well but when she turned the gods realized that the other side of her body was in every way similar to a rotting corpse that girl was hell and she was certainly a daunting figure throughout the journey that would take the gods of Asgard home odin noticed that the Serpent's eyes had doubled what had once been a common snake was now a Python code and noticed that the serpent kept growing and he made the decision to throw it into the great sea that surrounded Midgard the serpent only kept growing over the years becoming so immense that one day its tail already encircled the whole world this creature made by Loki would receive the name of your man gonder all the gods looked suspiciously at Hell and as guard some felt frightened by her Odin noticing that the girl preferred the company of the dead than of the living creatures designated her the ruler of the world of the Dead there she reigned over the souls of those who had an unworthy death and failed to reach Valhalla in turn the wolf cub was raised among the gods of Asgard and learned the language of the gods his name was Fenrir the God Tyr established a bond with the wolf and they became friends like the serpent his sister the wolf kept growing soon he was bigger than a bull and just a short period after he was already bulkier than any animal that walked the earth Fenrir inherited some of the worst traits of Loki his father including evilness and cruelty after discussing the subject the gods decided that something had to be done a wolf with so much power would be a threat to all the inhabitants of Asgard and the gods began to plot away to circumvent that threat the Gods Thor and Loki crossed the world in Thor's chariot which was pulled by powerful goats the gods had left for the kingdom of the Giants looking for taking part in new adventures before that they stopped in a humble house where the gods wanted to stay for the night the gods were warmly welcomed by the villagers but being poor they had nothing to offer as food Thor told them not to worry because he would provide a bountiful meal the god himself slaughtered his own goats and had their meat prepared for a meal that would honor any God the god of thunder offered food to the dwellers who welcomed him and then he said you can eat as much as you want I only ask you to leave the bones unscathed while everyone ate the delicious goat meat Loki decided to do one of his pranks he approached the huts young resident known as Cioffi and he told him there is no fairness at all in allowing Thor to keep all the delicious marrow which fill these bones just for himself such a delicacy would give great strength to those who eat it the boy now wanted to try it he waited until everyone was asleep and broke one of the bones to taste the marrow the bones were then thrown over the skin of the slaughtered goats the next day Thor did a ritual and brought the goats back to life however one of the goats was now limping because its leg had been broken Thor was enraged and grabbed his powerful hammer you bastards I offered you plenty of food and just got betrayal as a returned who did this Loki tried to conceal his smile shelfie regretting his action confessed the crime just give me one reason why I shouldn't destroy this house together with those who live in it spare my family they did nothing take me as your servant so that I may pay my debt to the gods Thor was benevolent and decided to spare Chelsea's family and they now would have to treat his goats while Thor Loki and Cioffi departed to explore the land of the Giants Thor Loki and his new servant Joffe roamed through the inhospitable kingdom of Jotunheim ur the land of the giants the intense cold forced them to look for shelter the gods found what appeared to be a huge cave and they went inside the travelers tried to rest but an immense noise trembled the earth Thor stepped out of the cave to investigate the source and from the top of a mountain he noticed that a huge giant slept beside their cave and his snoring shook the whole ground the giant woke up and he did not appear particularly threat for Thor realized that the giant wore only one glove while the other was actually the cave they were sheltered the giant tried to pull on his glove and loki and Chaffey fell from it the huge giant introduced himself to the travelers I'm skinnier and if you wish I can serve as your guide while also carrying all your luggage the gods accepted the offer after all they did not know the region that well and having the opportunity not to carry their own goods would certainly be a great relief scry Muir put everything inside his own bag and initiated the journey the giant was now tired and decided to take a nap night came in the traveler started to feel hungry they tried to open the sleeping giants bag but failed unable to wake the Giant Thor angered with hunger grabbed his hammer and struck the Giants head with fierceness after the blow the sleepy giant said a leaf must have fallen on the top of my head well it was nothing anyway and went back to sleep Dawn was around the corner and the hungry travelers waited for the giant to wake up to finally eat their breakfast but screamer was still asleep the angered Thor hammered the Giants head with all his might such a blow could destroy any Giants head butts cry Muir just woke up as if he had been bothered by an insect Thor was amazed by the Giants endurance no way a creature could withstand such a blow after waking up the giant said your destination is right there where Utica roar is located the place of my giant friends fair they call me soft and weak I think it's now time for us to go Thor and his fellows went to the Giants palace the God was a little worried if scry Muir was the little one what would he find an ogre or the domain of the king of the Giants for his servant Joffe and loki were all exploring the kingdom of the Giants and they finally arrived at the enormous castle of ogre or the Aesir gods entered the palace and encountered the huge Giants who lived there the one who stood out the most welcomed them welcome to my palace I'm the Lord of this palace I have always heard that you as Guardians consider yourselves to be the greatest of all how about we take part in a dispute I can defeat you in any kind of competition you can imagine set Thor with confidence calm down Odin son the first to compete will be Loki son of the glorious giant Laufey Loki would face Logie the giant servant to know who could eat the banquet on the table more quickly Loki and Loki started eating all the food with incredible speed and they both finished at the same time Loki ate all the food but the giant Logie ate even the bones platters and cutlery so he was declared the winner the servants Yaffe also engaged in a race against a giant who is still a child Elfie was one of the fastest men that ever lived yet he had no chance against the hasty giant boy for you Mighty Thor I pose three challenges first you should drink all the beverage in this horn at one go Thor grabbed the horn with confidence as drinking a lot was one of his skills the god drank drank and drank that salty liquid until he reached his limit but he only managed to decrease the liquid that filled the horn a little bit hahaha you drink like a maid I'll make it easier for you in this next race you will have to lift my pet cat you've got to be kidding me said for approaching the cat much to Thor's surprise the cat was incredibly heavy the god of thunder managed to lift the cat over his head but it could still touch the ground with its paws it appears that the stories they tell about you are just legends and you cannot lift a cat in your last ordeal you must fight my foster mother that was when an old giant s appeared in the room Thor felt offended for having to fight this old woman but he decided to fight her to secure at least one win for Asgard steam the fight began and Thor was surprised by the old giant esses strength the God used all his strength against the old lady and at times it appeared that the victory was in his hands but the old woman managed to drop Thor to his knees defeated the gods and their servant left the utica roar palace with their heads pointing down the king of the Giants followed the Asgardians to his kingdoms boundaries and when saying goodbye he declared now that we were alone I can tell you a secret I have fooled you all along the king of the Giants said that he had disguised himself as the giant scry mere the one who had guided Thor and his fellows through Jotunheim ER and had he not had used magic at that moment he would have been dead after all when Thor tried to hit his head with his hammer the god hit a mountain instead turning the hill into a valley dear Loki you also have been deceived by an illusion actually you were competing against a fire and that fire engulfs everything in its path you shall fee you competed against a thought and even though you are extremely fast nothing is faster than a thought and what sort of tricks did you use against me and your Palace said Thor demanding an explanation now that we no longer have an audience I can praise you for your strength and determination the giant explained that the horn grabbed by Thor was connected to the ocean so Thor was able to bring the sea level down a few metres which was an incredible feat as for the cat he was actually lifting Jormungand the world's serpent and the mere fact that Thor could raise part of the snake off the ground was a huge accomplishment nevertheless what stunned the Giant the most was that Thor almost defeated the old woman who was old 'no sit self and time beats everyone down the Oh Thor despised being tricked and he would have crushed the giant but he relied on his magic to vanish along with his castle for he feared the gods vengeance the gods returned to Asgard Thor knew that beating old Nisour drinking all the water from the ocean was impossible but defeating the world's snake was something he deemed feasible and because of that Thor started to wish to cross paths with Yurman gand again just to have the opportunity to beat it [Music] the prophecy said that Fenrir Loki's wolf son would be a great threat to the god Iza based on that the Asgardian gods put him under constant surveillance the wolf grew day after day a source of concern for the Asgardians except ear who befriended Fenrir they concluded that the animal had to be imprisoned the Asgardian 'is forged powerful chains in attempt to imprison frontier and to hide their real intentions the gods presented a challenge to the wolf Fenrir although immense and evil natured was still a cub and enjoyed playtime the Asgardians challenged him to get rid of the God made chains and Fenrir like that quest the gods chained him but those mighty chains failed to withstand the wolf a new chain had to be made and even more powerful than the first one which was also placed on Fenrir the wolf used his enormous strength but the chain seemed strong enough to contain the colossal wolf the gods looked at each other pleased but they did not expect what took place immediately after Fenrir used even more of his strength and ended up destroying the chains the gods were bewildered by the wolf's sheer strength and Fenrir noticed the Asgardian concern a sign that they were up to something no rope or chain managed to withstand the creature strength but Odin knew that if there was any one of making such an object these could only be the doors Odin ordered the elf skier near to go to the land of the doors and asked them to make something that could imprison the wolf the doors agreed and sent the list of ingredients needed for such an object these ingredients were quite unusual for instance mountain roots bear tendons a woman's beard the breath of a fish the saliva of a bird and finally the sound of a cat's footsteps with all those ingredients gathered the door started their work the Asgardian gods were given a thin rope that looked as if it were made of silk but the power contained in it did match its appearance Fenrir was yet again challenged to attempt to break these new harnesses but the wolf was already suspicious and upon seeing the rope that the gods were carrying in their hands he thought that something mischievous was taking place Odin assured the wolf that it was nothing but a simple joke however the wolf and Odin never got along being Loki's son Fenrir could smelled a lie in Odin's breath the wolf said he would only engage in that game if any of the gods had the courage to put his hands inside the wolf's mouth while he was being tied up if he sense an attempt to deceive him he would devour the gods hand right away the gods looked at each other and this only raised a wolf suspicions but tear the God who always fed Fenrir with whom he had established some kind of friendship offered himself to put his hand inside the wolf's mouth then Fenrir agreed to be tied again the wolf struggled against these new straps but his full power could not break the dwarf mane mighty rope Fenrir noticed the gods satisfaction and looked at tyr who was the only one who did not look happy the wolf realized that he had been betrayed by the gods and even by his only friend Fenrir clenched his straw strongly tearing tears hand off the God was to the pain without a single cry the brave tear was celebrated for his sacrifice vanmeer had been firmly tied to a stone the Asgardian gods were finally relieved to have neutralized such a threats the Wolves shrieked angrily insulting the gods saying that he might have become friends with the gods but because of such betrayal they would now be his greatest enemies friendlier swore to look for Odin on the battlefield during Ragnarok to have his revenge [Music] Baldr was a son of Odin and Frigga the supreme gods of Asgard the God was beautiful kind and charismatic and so he was loved by all Balder spread happiness wherever he went uplifting the days of the Gods and of those who were with him but with Knights arrival Boulder's happiness diminished while he was sleeping his sleep was consumed by nightmares his beloved wife naina comforted him whenever he woke up startled no God knew the meaning of such nightmares the wise Odin knew that there was an Oracle who could decipher these nightmares and he was in the kingdom of Hell where the souls of those undignified in the battlefield would go to perish Odin disguised as a wanderer went to the kingdom of the dead after using the rooms the Oracle uttered the following answer Calpine is preparing itself to receive Alban while the sadness takes over a scar here in the realm of Hell joy will be absolute with the arrival of the kind Bulbul spirit saddened by that Odin returned to Asgard and told Frigga the gloomy fate of his beloved son Frigga was decided to avoid the consummation of Baltar's fate knowing that Balder was loved by everyone in everything the goddess forced every single one to swear that they would never hurt Balder therefore nothing could ever harm Balder even objects plants diseases and weapons committed not to hurt Balder Loki the god of mischief was deeply jealous of Balder but even he decided to join the oath and so Balder became invulnerable to everything and nothing could harm him the God was safe Boulder's and vulnerability actually amused the gods they would throw objects against Balder but everything was dodged Thor hit him with his mighty hammer but Balder felt nothing and so everyone in Asgard was happy to know that the beloved God was protected all but Loki who is determined to find a vulnerability in Boulder disguised as one of the Friends of the goddess Frigga he found a way to make the god reveal what she had done the goddess said to her false friend that she had forced everything to join the oath except the mistletoe which was a completely harmless plant but inside the mind of someone evil like Loki the mistletoe was not that harmless after grabbing some mistletoe he joined the gods again who were still trying to attack Balder Hodor the blind God was the only one dismayed since he could not join the prank after all he would never hit Balder without knowing his position the elusive Loki created a dark made of mistletoe and approached Hodor saying that his blindness would not stop him from joining the prank and offered to help him loki was now invisible and guided Hodor to the place where the others were Balder was happy to know that Hodor could now join the prank aided by loki he threw the mistletoe dart against Balder with full strength Hodor hoped to hear the gods laughter but an immense silence flooded the place Balder had been mortally wounded when the gods body hit the ground the gods desperately lamented his death and like the prophecy the world of the living was consumed by sorrow with the departure of the beautiful and beloved Balder Loki the god of cheating was filled with evilness and he seemed to no longer wish to hold such wickedness inside of him then he plotted Boulder's death the most beloved of the gods the god sent her math or the messenger of the gods to the kingdom of hell the world of the dead in an attempt to bring his brother Balder back to the kingdom of Asgard humma Thor was welcomed with the good news that he'll was willing to return Balder to the realm of the eysie Aryan gods as long as every beam lamented the gods death and desired Boulder's returned the gods were happy with that news since Balder was loved by all therefore all beings were summoned to confirm their desire to have the dear God back they all underline their yearning nough Stu see Baldr again but the gods learns that a giantess who lived in the mountains did not and because of her Balder could not return much to the demise of the gods but the gods did not take long to find out that actually the heartless giantess was Loki in disguise loki had already perpetrated all sorts of wrongdoings but he had exceeded the limits of the gods patience the Asgardians agreed that loki would have to be punished loki dodged the wrath of the gods and found himself a hidden spots at the mountains near salmon filled well loki assumed the shape of a salmon and mix himself with the fish not to be found by the gods Odin the father of all could see the whole world for the height of his throne and he would soon discover Loki's hiding place the cheating God knew that the gods would eventually find his hiding spot pondering how they would try to capture him the bait and hook hypothesis was unnourished many the intelligence of the gods loki contemplated and found that a mass of strings could capture a fish loki created that instruments the first fishing net that ever existed after understanding how it worked he conceived strategies to escape from it when loki saw the gods coming towards him he threw the nets into the fire and jumped again into the pits the god saw loki jumping into the river but had no idea about how to capture him kvasir found the remainder of the net that did not burn completely and realize the purpose of that Loki's the gods created more and more Nets and used them in an attempt to capture the cheater loki tried to dodge in every way possible the different Nets conceived by the gods and sometimes he jumped out of the water Thor thought if a bear could get a Salman during its jump he would as well then when the fish-shaped low key jumps once more Thor was ready to catch him Loki was captured by Thor and later dragged by the guards to a cave there he was bound and trapped the guts and tendons of his own son were used to tie the cheating God the gods wanted to kill the Loki's because of what he had done with Balder but Loki had a Blood Pact with Odin under which despite their distinct origins they were like brothers and so Odin would not allow Loki's death but imprisoning him would be quite a lenient punishment for such a traitor therefore Scottie brought a snake with toxic saliva and put it in a stalactite on Loki's head when the snake salivated its venom fell on the traitor thus burning his skin and inflicting enormous pain Loki's wife was sigyn who stayed beside her husband while he endured his punishment the loyal Sigyn tried to ease Loki's torment by using the bowl to collect the venom from the snakes as time passed the ball got fooled and Sigyn had to walk away to empty the bowl as she did that the venom fell once more into Loki's skin screaming in pain and insulting his wife the dedicated wife would return as quickly as possible to her spots where she attempted to ease her
