Freya's jewellery

The lovegoddess Freya once owned a beautiful necklace called Brising. To get the jewellery she had to spend one night with each of the four smiths. In this case that were four dwarves called Alfrik, Berling, Dvalin and Grer. When Loki hear about his deal he immediately tells Odin who gets really upset. As a punishment he forces Freya to start a war between two human kings. This is a very good punishment for Freya, because she is very friendly and hates to see people argue or fight. As time passed by Freya realized that the necklace had protective powers. Loki found out even that, but this time he decided to steal it. He stayed outside her house Folkvang every night, but she never forgot to lock the door. Instead he started to look for a hole in the wood door and one night he found one. Loki transformed himself into a fly and went through it. Freya was in the bed with her necklace on, but she was sleeping on the necklace's locker so he couldn't take it off her. Then Loki turned himself into a flea and bit her in the cheek. Freya awakened for a moment at turned around. When Loki had got the jewellery he turned back into him self and walked out through the door. He hid the necklace at the rocky islet Singasten. There he turned himself into a seal and started to guard the treasure. When Heimdall heard about the stealings of the Brising necklace he immediately assumed it was Loki who had done it. He went to Singasten to talk to Loki, but he wouldn't let Heimdall bring back the jewellery. But Loki didn't agree to that. Then Heimdall turned himself into a seal and then they fought. And after a hard struggle Heimdall could give the back the Brising necklace to it's owner.
