Hvitserk recognised the woman as Idun, the Goddess of Youth, and she said she had been following Hvitserk for some time.
She explained how she had been watching over him and had experienced his lowest moments with him, and she wanted him to have some company.
The goddess was able to soothe Hvitserk, and she offered him food and drink, saying she would spend the night with him but would have to leave when the dawn came.
The pair spent the night together and, true to her word, the goddess had disappeared by the morning, leaving Hvitserk alone in his bed.
When Hvitserk went outside, he was seen walking through the pouring rain and he was crying.
