To find their way to the rest of the Quest, they elected to lose themselves further until they found themselves in [[the Forest]]. There, they found a small waterfall, and figured out that there must be a cavern hidden behind it. There was, but, much to their dismay, it was not the entrance to the World Below, but instead the burrow of a carnivorous [[Scandinavian Troll]], [[Tero Trollgarsson]]. Panicking, she activated her Dematerialisation Engine, transporting herself and Pythe to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] — but also the Troll himself. There, Juliet greeted [[Tpxszum]] as an old friend, before the three of them were invited to have a drink by an old man whom Juliet quickly recognised as [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]]. Though Juliet briefly seemed to have offended Odin, he clarified that he was in jest, before speaking a [[prophecy]] to them and advising them to keep the Troll with them throughout the rest of the adventure. He then departed, leaving them at the Tavern. | To find their way to the rest of the Quest, they elected to lose themselves further until they found themselves in [[the Forest]].

Figuring out that a part of the prophecy was telling them that a hearth would somehow show them the way forward, they discovered that a version of the Norse fire-god [[Logi#At the Interdimensional Tavern|Logi]] in fact resided in the Tavern's hearth. In exchange for some scented firewood, which Tpxszum agreed to provide later, Logi created a portal to the [[World Below]] for them. There, after some trekking, they crossed paths [[Jormungandir|a gigantic talking serpent]]. They hesitated, unsure whether he was the “serpent” they were to help recover or the “wyrm” they had to defeat. However, the Troll, overlooking their words of caution, decided to charge at the snake, holding that it would be the goddess's fault for not having been more precise in her request if she didn't like it, and that the sooner he ''technically'' fulfilled the terms of the quest, the sooner he could go home.

The fight was interrupted before it had properly begun by the appearance of [[CS-NA]], the ship-building robot from the [[Cupid Homeworld]], who had been off on a quest of his own across the [[Multiverse]], trying to understand the spirit of [[Christmas]]. Realising that his appearance at such a timely moment could not be coincidental, they deduced, with the serpent's input, that they were being manipulated from afar by [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]], though Pythe was initially skeptical.
