Skarleth, marveling at such beautiful scriptures, decided to send a message of love to Swend, taking a glass bottle and filling it to overflowing with magical kisses. Knowing how treacherous Loki was, he asked Geri, his pet she-wolf, to take him to Swend.

He ran to the river and hid in the cave inside the waterfall, watching Loki pass confused, then went to the village and came to where Swend, who uncovered the bottle, was wrapped in magic lights, covering it with feeling, being wrapped addicted to love and feeling for Skarleth.
