Loki said that his bride was so nervous that she hadn’t eaten for eight days. When Thrym went to kiss his bride, he was taken aback by the red eyes. Loki said that “she” hadn’t slept for eight nights.Thrym’s sister demanded Freya’s ring necklace as offering, but it was suggested that they put the hammer in Freya’s lap to seal the marriage. Then Thor picked up the hammer and killed the giants. The End.
