Story
Thor and Loki, are travelling to Jotunheim, the land of the giants. On their journey they meet the giant Skrymir who welcomes them back to the giant-king Utgard-Loki’s castle. There, the gods and giants engage in contests—but the giants deceive Thor by making him attempt impossible feats: lifting the world serpent disguised as a cat and draining a drinking horn secretly connected to the ocean.
