Burial of Baldur
So the Gods took the body of Baldur was taken to his boat which is the biggest in the world.
Baldur’s wife was there and her heart was so heavy with grief that it broke. She was burned
on the same burial pile as her husband. Baldur’s horse was driven into the fire and was also
burned. Loki, knowing he was going to be sought after, went away and built a shack with four
doors so that he could see who was coming and escape. Loki had a net that he used to catch
fish as food for himself. However, Odin found out Loki’s hideout so that all the Gods came
against Loki. Loki saw them at a distance; he turned into a salmon and wiggled under some
rocks in the bed of the river near his shack. The Gods, however, found him and with Loki’s
net fished him out of his position, Loki tried to jump over the net but Thor caught him by
the tail and that is why a salmon’s tail is so thin. The gods took him to their dwelling
and put him in chains. Loki’s wife stand by and catches drops of venom and when the cup is
full she pours it over Loki and each time he screams and wriggles and tries to get free but
will not until the end of the world when the biggest battle rages between the Gods and all
of the evil in the world.
