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. | 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.

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. After convincing the serpent not to harm Cesse (who he temporarily thought might be another candidate for the “Spider” of the prophecy, and thus best gotten out of the way despite the Cupids' theory), Pythe and Juliet realise that the [[Wyrm]] they must actually defeat could only be the venom-dripping [[Wyrm of Loki|serpent]] affixed above [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]]'s prison to prevent him from escaping. Realising that the fulfillment of the Cupids' mission might be to his father's benefit, Jormungandir agreed to lead them, Trollgarsson and Cesse to the chamber where Loki was imprisoned.

On the fairly long way there, they came across his brother [[Fenrir#In the Prime Universe|Fenrir]], who realised a scheme to free Loki was afoot and tried to stop it. Juliet tried to shoot a [[Cupid Arrow]] at the giant wolf to make him sympathetic to their own desires, but CS-NA stopped her from taking the shot, due to a line in Odin's prophecy warning them to “hunt not the Hound”. In the end, Fenrir ended up getting fortuitously knocked out of a boulder, allowing the group to proceed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
