[[CS-NA]], or “Cesse”, a ship-building robot whom the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] took in a long time ago, reflects on the patterns of the lives of the [[Clockwork Cherub]]s and events in the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. He notes a trend of the Cupids' adventures having gotten higher-scale and more dangerous over the last few years. Fearing that this will impact their holidays despite [[Celebration-665]]'s best efforts, he resolves to “Save [[Christmas]]” as thanks for how kind the Cupids have always been to him. | [[CS-NA]], or “Cesse”, a ship-building robot whom the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] took in a long time ago, reflects on the patterns of the lives of the [[Clockwork Cherub]]s and events in the [[Cupid Homeworld]].

After examining the [[Rune Stone]], [[Pythagoras-858|Pythe]] presses a hand onto the stone in an area that seems to be meant for the purpose. This activates the stone's magic, and it quickly explodes into a bank of magical fog with [[Sigyn|the goddess]] at the centre of it. Pythe begins talking to her deferentially, but soon [[Juliet-178]] cannot stop herself from involving herself in the conversation, which takes a livelier turn. The goddess, at any rate, explains that she is considering the Crew's proposition, but does indeed want Pythe and Juliet to prove themselves by going on a quest to “slay a [[Wyrm of Loki|certain wyrm]] and recover [[Loki|a certain 'serpent']]”. Juliet is overjoyed. | |||
