After the doorway closes behind them, [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Tero Trollgarsson]] cautiously enter the [[World Below]], which remains lit in orange hues from no visible source. They make their way through cavern after cavern, discussing the prophecy, until they bump into a [[Jormungandir#In the Prime Universe|giant serpent]] emerging from the ground. A confused and confusing serpent about whether he is a “serpent” or a “[[wyrm]]” ensues, which the Troll cuts short, ignoring the “confuse not your wyrms” verse of [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]]'s [[prophecy]] and ruling that [[Sigyn|the goddess]] should have been more careful in setting the terms of the quest if she wanted more precise results, and that from where he's standing, the sooner he slays ''a'' snake and thus technically fulfills the quest, the sooner he can go home. Picking up a broken stalagmite to use as a weapon, he charges at the humongous serpent. | After the doorway closes behind them, [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Tero Trollgarsson]] cautiously enter the [[World Below]], which remains lit in orange hues from no visible source.

====Chapter 14==== | |||
[[CS-NA]] ends up in a quiet forest in what papears to be the [[Prime Universe]], with the only building in sight a wooden shop on a hill. He enters to find an [[Ms Amelia|old woman]] looking through a photo album. To his surprise, she is not overly frightened by the sudden appearance of a robot in her shop, instead calling for her friend Jenny in the other room — who proves to be none else than [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], who explains that Amelia is a good friend of hers and she always shops at her quaint little shop for Christmas presents. CS-NA takes a tour of the well-ordered collection of eclectic goods, particularly enjoying the Christmas ornaments room; he stumbles upon a purple hair ribbon which Jenny decides to purchase as a present for [[Laura Drake#Christmas present from Jenny|a friend of hers]]. Concluding from all this that “care” is another important element of the holdiay, CS-NA moves on to what he expects will be his final stop before he goes back to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] and begins to plan his party in earnest. | |||
