Thor the Thunderer always slept with his trusty hammer, Mjolnir, by his side. Mjolnir was the hugest, hardest hammer ever created. He brought Mjolnir with him on his ventures and with it he was able to knock down mountains, crush cities, and take out whole armies. He cared deeply for Mjolnir and kept it close at all times.
Loki, I need your help
One night while Thor was fast asleep and snoring loudly, a giant crept into his room. He made his way over to Mjolnir, took it, and escaped.
Z Z Z
When Thor awoke and found Mjolnir was no longer by his side, he panicked. He looked all over but could not find it. In his despair he threw a tantrum fit for a god. The skies turned dark, rain and lightning poured from the sky, and the ground shook ferociously! It was so intense that the humans hid in fear yelling about the sky falling.
MJOLNIRRR
I want Freya
Once Thor calmed himself down, he sought out to ask his brother Loki for help. Loki was quite the trickster god and where Thor was more known for his strength, Loki was known for his quick wits and tricks. Loki agreed to help seeing as how Mjolnir was their most important defense against the giants. He even already had a hunch to test out.
I REFUSE! I'M TOO MANLY AND HANDSOME AND STRONG
Thor could dress as Freya
I got you bro
Before setting off to investigate if his hunch was correct, Loki went to see his mother Freya. He asked if he could borrow her cloak . She was more than happy to lend it to him telling him that she didn't mind because the gods always helped each other when one was in need. Loki then put on the cloak which made him look just like a hawk. He then flew to the land of the giants.
LOLLLLL!!
LMAOOOOOOO!!!
Shall we m'lady?
Thrym, the king of the giants, was sat on a hill making gold chains for his dog. Loki flew down and sat next to him. Thrym immediately knew who it was and asked how the gods and elves were doing. Loki told him they were not doing very good since the hammer was stolen and asked if Thrym knew anything about it. Thrym told him that he did in fact steal the hammer and buried 8 miles down and would only return it if Freya became his wife.
EEEEEEEE!! My future wifey is hereeee!!! Everything must be perfect!
Bro what?
Lord have mercy
Loki immediately flew back to Asgard and explained the situation to Thor and Freya. They were both furious with the news. Freya didn't want to marry the giant but Thor wanted his hammer. Heimdall came up with a plan that would help them get Thor's hammer back without forcing Freya to marry Thrym. He planned for Thor to dress as a bride and while at the wedding he could get his hammer back. Thor didn't like this idea at all.
Dang girl, I ain't never seen a woman with an appetite like that
WELL I'M NOT MARRYING A PERV SO I GUESS NO HAMMMER FOR YOU
Uhh...people in love do crazy things
Loki and Freya managed to convince Thor to participate in the plan. They dressed him in a beautiful dress and adorned with jewelry and other accessories. As Thor stood there all dolled up, everyone erupted in laughter at Thor's expense. Loki decided he would also tag along as his handmaiden so he didn't miss out on the fun. They daintily took off arm in arm on their way to Thor's wedding.
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHHH LOOK AT THE PRETTY PRINCESS!!!
Let's just get this over with
Thrym heard someone approaching Jotunheim and immediately knew it was someone form Asgard. The lookout giant confirmed that they were indeed from Asgard and were bringing Freya. Hearing this, Thrym became overwhelmed with excitement and had his servants immediately begin preparing to have a feast that evening.
When Loki and Thor arrived, they were immediately greeted by the giants. They were taken to a large feast with lots of delicious foods laid out to eat. Thor couldn't control his appetite and starting stuffing his mouth with tons of food. He even ate more than the giants which left all of them confused and slightly startled. Thrym then spoke up about how he had never seen a woman with such an appetite. Thinking quickly, Loki then told him it was because Freya (aka Thor) hadn't eaten for 8 days because she was so excited to come to Jotunheim.
