    In a realm wreathed in mist and magic, resided the gods of ancient Norse, eternally youthful, thanks to the magical golden apples. These apples were the divine possessions of the goddess Idun.

    Loki, the trickster god, was known for his cunning schemes and mischievous spirit. He was a source of chaos, but also of fascination among the gods.

    One day, Loki encountered Thjazi, a formidable giant from Jotunheim, who sought the golden apples. Thjazi was a foe not to be underestimated.

    As part of a dubious deal, Loki assured Thjazi he would help him seize the apples. Thjazi, in turn, promised to spare Loki from his wrath.

    Loki, ever the opportunist, saw this as a chance to create chaos among the gods, while also safeguarding himself from the giant's fury.

    Using his shapeshifting abilities, Loki transformed himself into a falcon and flew to Idun's garden, where the golden apples grew.

    He persuaded Idun to follow him into the forest, promising her a tree bearing even more magical fruits. Curious, Idun agreed and left her garden.

    As they reached the forest, Thjazi, transformed into a mighty eagle, swooped down and seized Idun, carrying her off to Jotunheim.
