Kæru Dagbók,
The feast has left me tired but I will try to tell you what happened.
Thor got Mjolnir today. Father thought of rewarding Thor's show of courage in saving me last week and he had ordered an invincible hammer to be forged. I saw it in the Trophy Room yesterday when I was secretly practicing my teleporting skill and somehow ended up inside. It looked quite grand and I thought Thor would love it very much. I tried to carry it but it wouldn't budge and I thought Father had cast some sort of protective spell over it.
When Father handed Thor Mjolnir he had said something about only the worthy can bear its powers. So that means only Thor can wield it. Thor looked immensely happy and he feasted a lot. He showed it off to Sif and Volstagg, Hogun and Fandral. They couldn't pick it up when they tried and Thor was beaming with pride since he was the only 'worthy' one. The other guests congratulated Thor and commended on his bravery for saving me. But behind my backs they mutter and tut about what a coward I had been. I know they gossip because I can hear them. I just ignore them.
I am truly happy for Thor. But I confess I feel a bit jealous. Just a bit. I hope that once I reach Thor's age Father will find me worthy as well and give me my own hammer. Or a spear like Gungnir. Or something equally impressive.
When it got later at night the grown-ups started drinking a lot of mead and were getting really loud and Mother told me to get ready for bed. I went out to look for Thor instead and found him outside the palace in the garden in the dark. And Sif was hugging him. I just watched.
When they finally let go Sif saw me and scowled. I knew she was angry and she stormed towards me. I stood my ground this time and retaliated when she tried to hit me. I pushed her so hard she fell down. Thor was by her side then, and he looked angry too. He told me to go back inside and I did. But not before Sif got up and punched me in the jaw. How humiliating.
Vinur þinn,
Loki Odinson
