_{Odin now decides to force the name of their former employer out of Fjalar and Galar. He'll need an eagleslough, which leads him to borrow one from Freja, who still, like the first time, make him feel soft-hearted. When he leaves Freja, he dicovers that Njord is spying on him.}
 

_{Odin flies off, and during the night he interrupts the dwarves, who}

_{suffering from heavy abstinences, are on work in Udgaard. He grasps them with his eagleclaws and takes them for a ride high above the clouds. The}

_{combination of the element of water and air scares the living daylights}

_{out of the dwarves. Reluctantly, Fjalar and Galar reveal their}

_{"businesssecrets"...except that they actually don't know the name of the}

_{one who ordered the killing of Gilling. Gilling, not exactly a bright}

_{giant, who's the older, spitting image of Suttung, came to them "on}

_{behalf of his master", (flashback), and delivered a bag of gold plus a}

_{sealed runestick with the name of the victim, ...who was none other than}

_{himself. Before the killing they asked him curiously about his master,}

_{who had to be very fond of him, (in fact, Fjalar and Galar consider a}

_{liquidation executed by them a great honour). Gilling expressed a great}

_{devotion, his master had once removed a thorn from his foot, and ever}

_{since Gilling and all of his family had served the master faithfully.}

_{After getting rid of Gilling, the dwarves also "finished" his wife}

_{because she screamed like a pig, but the one Odin is interested in, is}

_{Kvaser not Gilling: That assignment was given to the dwarves by a young}

_{and seductively beautiful young girl, whose name they also don't know.}

_{She told them she'd been sent by her godfather. She wanted the head of}

_{Kvaser, which indeed had shown to be a claypot containing the spit of}

_{the gods. They had used the spit to ferment their mead and the outcome}

_{had been extraordinary. When the girl came for the head they had made}

_{her believe that the content had destroyed it, and it had been lost.}

_{They kept the truth about their mead a secret for many, many years}

_{before it leaked out. The dwarves find these, rather macabre, memories}

_{hilarious and don't even notice that Odin has left them on a small rock}

_{in the ocean, from where they'll never be able to escape.}

_{Back home again, Odin thinks like a mad. It's now clear to him that back}

_{when Kvaser disappeared he also lost his head and thereby his artificial}

_{life. But who was behind it? Odin is sofrustrated about not being able}

_{to solve the puzzle, that he's just about to swallow his pride and ask}

_{Mimer for the key to the well in order to get hold of his allseying eye.}

_{However, he's interrupted when Suttung's daughter, Gunlød, arrives at}

_{the hall of Odin with some new information: She has found out that it}

_{was actually her uncle, Bauge, who was behind the attempted murdering of}

_{Odin and the killing of his own parents, all this was part of the}

_{intrigues and deceptions in his plan to usurp the power in the family.}

_{Odin has hers and her giantfather's blessing to extract his revenge}

_{- they will actually consider it a favor they wont forget, but Gunlød}

_{warns him. Bauge has taken control of Gilling's thugs, the killers of}

_{Mimer. However, Odin doesn't appear to have paid much attention to what}

_{she's been telling; he's pondering like crazy. Gunlød finds this}

_{insulting and leaves.}

_{Then it all dawns on Odin, and triumphantly he proclaims that he has}

_{solved the puzzle and figured out who's behind the mystery.Mimer and the}

_{ravens are totally unimpressed, but Odin continues undauntedly: The}

_{villain must be brougt to reveal himself!}

_{By staling the valuable mead from Suttung and bringing it to Valhalla,}

_{Odin will make the scoundrel come out in the open.}

_{Odin packs the eagleslough of Freja in a bag, disguises himself and}

_{assumes the name of Bølverk, (the destroyer). He travels to the house of}

_{Bauge in Vanaheim, where he "pacifies" the thugs by fooling them into}

_{cutting each others heads off! Then he offers himself onto the service}

_{of Bauge, who proves to be just as stupid as Loke described him. Bauge}

_{knows about the mead the family received as a penance for the death of}

_{Gilling. He doesn't know anything about it's history, but he has}

_{obviously benefitted from drinking the mead. However, he does know where}

_{the mead is hidden: In a cave in the Gnitabjerg, (mountain of fucking),}

_{which stands between his house and the house of his brother, Suttung.}

_{Odin scares him by telling him the mead surely will rot in such a stuffy}

_{cave, but Bauge actually remembers that he, himself, drilled some}

_{airvents way back.}

_{However, a heavily intoxicated Suttung shows up and recognizes Odin.}

_{Odin manages to escape, divert the pursuers and to find the shaft}

_{leading down to the hidingplace of the mead. Soon after, he sneaks in}

_{disguised as a snake. The cave proves to be a quite comfortably}

_{furnished home. Odin looks at a beautifully carved bed, when Gunlød}

_{appears. She's fuddled and amorous. In an obvious attempt to divert his}

_{questions, she seduces Odin. But afterwards, she falls in to a deep and}

_{drunken sleep and Odin continues his search in the cave. In a}

_{compartment he finds three bowls containing the mead. Odin drinks all of}

_{the mead from the vessel called Bodn, (welcoming), from the kettle}

_{Odrøder, (intoxication) and from the vessel Son, (hangover) and}

_{following goes through all of the corresponding conditions. Sick and}

_{with full stomach from the drinking he's surprised by a voice behind}

_{him. Odin turns to face the speaker, but we don't actually see this}

_{person. "I thougt it was you", Odin groans.}

_{Shortly after, Odin flees in the eagleslough. Beacause of his drinking}

_{and filled blatter he has to take a leak. Suttung and Bauge discover the}

_{escapee and try to follow him, but are neutralized by}

_{the major staining done by Odin emptying his blatter.}

_{When Odin reaches Valhalla, he spits, (vomits), out the rest of the}

_{mead, which Mimer and the ravens find pretty digusting. A very angry}

_{Freja is present and wants to know what Odin has done to her father.}

_{Odin hasn't done anything, but it appears that Njord is totally besides}

_{himself, claims Freja. It was actually Njord's own fault because,}

_{unknowingly, caused the suspicion to fall on the gratest spellcaster of}

_{the Vanir, namely Freja herself, answers Odin. But Odin happened to know}

_{exactly where Freja was, 24 hours a day, (nudge-nudge), in the period}

_{the murder was committed. The only person then, who could possibly know}

_{the secret of Kvaser had to be...}

_{...the longgone hostage of the Asir, Høner. Odin tellse, (flashback),}

_{that Høner was a featherbrain and suffered from an enormous feeling of}

_{inferiority regarding his co-hostage, the wise Mimer. When Høner took}

_{over the estate of Njord, he found the runecarvings, which desribed how}

_{Kvaser had been created and given divine wisdom. He then realized that}

_{he could gain that wisdom if he drank the Spit of the Gods in the head}

_{of Kvaser.}

_{Høner made himself master of Gilling's family, (by placing a thorn in}

_{front of the giant and later removing it from his foot), and thereby}

_{gained some henchmen to do the dirty job. But all the persons he}

_{surrounded himself with were actually far more stupid than himself, and}

_{he didn't dare sending anyone to Asgaard. In stead, he chose to send the}

_{cut off head of Mimer to Odin, hoping it would make the Asir return the}

_{head of Kvaser. So when it happened that Mimer got revived, Kvaser got}

_{nervous. He went underground, officially killed, and Gilling and his}

_{family became his frontmen. Through his goddaughter, Gunlød, who}

_{despised her own stupid giantfather and worshipped her relatively smart}

_{godfather, Høner hired Fjalar and Galar to get him the head of Kvaser,}

_{but the dwarves cheated him. It was only years later that Høner heard}

_{about the extraordinary mead of the dwarves and figured out what had}

_{become of the spit of the gods.}

_{He sent Bauge to buy it, and when they refused to sell, he made sure}

_{Gilling was killed so the unknowing Suttung could demand the mead as}

_{penance. Suttung then tried to kill Odin thereby trying to force the}

_{wrath of the Asir upon the dwarves, but that was the mistake that gave}

_{Odin a lead on the secret of Høner.}

_{All of this, Odin has been told by Høner himself, who surprised him when}

_{he stole the mead. Unfortunately, Høner felt it necessary to kill Odin.}

_{But Odin had a card up his sleeve: When the Asir was to send their}

_{richest man as a hostage after the War, it happened to be Odin himself,}

_{and he didn't really want to og. Instead, with the help of Loke, he}

_{created a mockhostage from a chicken, which very fittingly was}

_{called...Høner. (chicken is "høne" in danish).}

_{With these words, Odin pulls a scared and flapping chicken from his}

_{cloak. He had conjured Høner back to his original form.}

_{"The precious, sweet mead wasn't lost, but it had gained a new and}

_{bitter taste. From this flows the divine beer, which inspires all the}

_{good poets, writers and comicbook artists.}

_{But the stains became the beer from which all the bad poets drink"}
