Loki also plays a part in The Spring Fairy and the Frost Giants, where he betrays Asgard by assisting in the capture of Iduna, only to later return her.

Another key theme involves Loki’s involvement with Thor. In How Thor Went to Jotunheim, Loki accompanies Thor on a journey to Jotunheim, where they face several challenges, including the consequences of Thialfi’s actions.

Finally, the creation of the world is depicted in The Story of the Norse About How Everything Began, where Loki is not yet central but his eventual role in the gods’ struggles is hinted.
