The Queen asked leave to decide what Hadvor 's punishment should be , which the King was very willing to allow , so as to escape from punishing his own daughter . The Queen 's decision was that the King should make a big grave-mound for her brother , and put Hadvor into it beside him . Olof knew all the plans of the Queen , and went to tell the Princess what had been done , whereupon Hadvor earnestly entreated her to tell her what to do . ` First and foremost , ' said Olof , ` you must get a wide cloak to wear over your other clothes , when you are put into the mound . The Giant 's ghost will walk after you are both left together in there , and he will have two dogs along with him . He will ask you to cut pieces out of his legs to give to the dogs , but that you must not promise to do unless he tells you where Hermod has gone to , and tells you how to find him . He will then let you stand on his shoulders , so as to get out of the mound ; but he means to cheat you all the same , and will catch you by the cloak to pull you back again ; but you must take care to have the cloak loose on your shoulders , so that he will only get hold of that . ' The mound was all ready now , and the Giant laid in it , and into it Hadvor also had to go without being allowed to make any defence . After they were both left there everything happened just as Olof had said . The prince became a Giant again , and asked Hadvor to cut the pieces out of his legs for the dogs ; but she refused until he told her that Hermod was in a desert island , which she could not reach unless she took the skin off the soles of his feet and made shoes out of that ; with these shoes she could travel both on land and sea . This Hadvor now did , and the Giant then let her get up on his shoulders to get out of the mound . As she sprang out he caught hold of her cloak ; but she had taken care to let it lie loose on her shoulders , and so escaped . She now made her way down to the sea , to where she knew there was the shortest distance over to the island in which Hermod was . This strait she easily crossed , for the shoes kept her up . On reaching the island she found a sandy beach all along by the sea , and high cliffs above . Nor could she see any way to get up these , and so , being both sad at heart and tired with the long journey , she lay down and fell asleep . As she slept she dreamed that a tall woman came to her and said , ' I know that you are Princess Hadvor , and are searching for Hermod . He is on this island ; but it will be hard for you to get to him if you have no one to help you , for you can not climb the cliffs by your own strength . I have therefore let down a rope , by which you will be able to climb up ; and as the island is so large that you might not find Hermod 's dwelling-place so easily , I lay down this clew beside you . You need only hold the end of the thread , and the clew will run on before and show you the way .
I also lay this belt XXXXX you , to put on when you awaken ; it will keep you from growing faint with hunger . '
