Episode 5: Meanwhile, Kvasir (the being born out of peace) goes out into the world and answers all questions with ease... So much so that the two dwarf brothers capture Kvasir, murder him, drain his blood and mix it with mead: thus creating the Mead of Poetry, a metaphor for poetic inspiration.

Odin saw these events from his throne of observation. He thus steals the Mead of Poetry and flies back to Asgard in the form of a hawk, pursued by the giant who has transformed into an eagle. On arrival, Odin spits all the mead into a specially installed vat. During the poetry banquet that follows, Odin discovers that Freyja is wearing a magnificent necklace around her neck, which she has obtained by working her charms on the four Dwarves. Jealous and furious, the father of the gods asks Loki to steal the necklace. The latter promptly obliges. But Freyja asks Heimdall, who is guarding the rainbow, for help. Heimdall fights Loki, wins and calls him a bastard. He questions the trickster’s loyalty to Asgard. However, Loki had only stolen the necklace on Odin’s orders – since the Allfather did not want to be directly involved, not wanting to get angry with Freyja. Furious, Loki swears revenge on the guardian of Bifrost.
