Thor
has taken Laussa and the child Hela to an incident in the ancient past. Young
Thor and Loki were traveling through Jotunheim and sought shelter at the house
of King Bergelmir. Bergelmir saw their horse Sleipnir and wanted it so he
wagered his magic knife for the magic horse. Loki proposed a battle of
strength: the giant king would choose an opponent for Thor and Loki would
designate an opponent for Bergelmir. Thor faced the eagle Hraesvelgr and soon
defeated it. Loki produced a spider Moira to battle Bergelmir; the giant king
laughed but it turned out that the spider was Fate and it entangled Bergelmir
in its web….
