Loki Passage 4.2

Further to the forest. Loki stopped his run to lean on the tree trunk. He had heard what was needed. He then heard the croak to his right; it was the frog. It sat there on its hind legs, croaking to the boy. The frog dissipated into a mist that rose up to double his height and then appeared as a lady, in a green gown with the red striped cloak.

“Hello again, Loki.” The lady greeted the young boy. “Gullvieg is back.”

Loki looked up to the lady there; she had appeared to him in his dreams when he was one year old, and then she appeared to him as the hare, and much later in many more forms of cute animals. It was only much later at the tender age of four, she had appeared to him, as a little girl who called him names in a play. It made him angry and he struck her. In return, Thor wrestled him and then called him a bastard. Soon after that, she appeared to him at the lake when he ran there to seek solace. They had been meeting since then, and she told him a lot of tales of his parents.

 “Loki, you are the true son of Farbauti and Laufey.”
