LOKI (grandson of Buri, the god freed from one of the blocks of ice, by a cow, and son of Bor, and the
brother of Wotan), who KNEW how AWFUL his CHILDREN were, tried to KEEP them a SECRET
from his brother WOTAN (the father of all the gods).
While they were still young, WOTAN, the brother of LOKI, found out about the SERPENT(Midgard),
and realizing that such a creature WAS DANGEROUS TO ASGARD(palace at the centre of the Uni-
verse where the gods lived), WOTAN took the SERPENT UP TO ASGARD and THREW the SERPENT DOWN as hard as he could INTO THE SEA.
What WOTAN did NOT KNOW was that the SERPENT(Midgard), like ALL LOKI' s CHILDREN,
was HALF A GOD and COULD NOT BE KILLED so easily. INSTEAD of being destroyed, the
SERPENT GREW and grew until IT CIRCLE the EARTH and BEGAN TO SQUEEZE TIGHTER
and tighter. It was so huge that when it was irritated IT COULD LASH HIS TAIL and CAUSE
STORMS and WHIRLPOOLS.
At last the SERPENT GREW SO LARGE that ALL FEARED it, and ONLY THOR, the ELDEST
SON of WOTAN and FREYJA(daughter of god Fjyorgynn), was BRAVE enough to be ABLE to
CALM the SERPENT.
FROM THAT DAY TO THIS DAY, the SERPENT TWINES ROUND the EARTH, CONTROLL-ED ONLY BY THE STRENGTH of THOR.
The WOLF(named Fenrir) , the SERPENT's brother FROM the KINGDOM of NASTRAND (under the second root of the sacred ash tree,where the dragon is king), WAS GROWING FAST as his terrible brother. When the WOLF(Fenrir) OPENED his MOUTH his JAWS SPANNED the HEAVENS.
Naturally the gods found out about the Wolf (Fenrir) and relized that the WOLF MUST BE CONTROLLED, but WHO could GOVERN SUCH a CREATURE? EVEN the WOLF's giantess mother, Angrboda, was afraid of him and no one but THOR dared to try to capture him.
