With Fenrir figuring out that bringing the Cupids, Troll and robot into Loki's chamber is some kind of scheme to free Loki, he categorically refuses to let them or Jormungandir through. Pythagoras reluctantly allows [[Juliet-178]] to try and shoot a [[Cupid Arrow]] at Fenrir to pacify him, but CS-NA knocks it out of the air before it hits the wolf, reminding the Cupids that Odin's prophecy instructed them “not to hunt the Hound”. With no way past, Trollgarsson is quick to declare that the adventure is over and try to go home; however, as he does so, he knocks a large boulder into the flow of a geyser; blown up into the air, it falls back, after some confusion, squarely onto Fenrir's head, knocking him out cold. As Juliet presses Pythe for more details about the mission, which he assures her will soon be answered, the group cautiously proceed into the Prison of Loki, which they see is full of pots, bowls and vases of all shapes and sizes, full of a “strange, shining substance”. The [[Wyrm of Loki|Snake of Loki]], hanging from the ceiling, notices them and hisses menacingly. | With Fenrir figuring out that bringing the Cupids, Troll and robot into Loki's chamber is some kind of scheme to free Loki, he categorically refuses to let them or Jormungandir through.

====Chapter 18==== | |||
The group enter the chamber and are greeted by the goddess with the golden torque, who explains that she is [[Sigyn#In the Prime Universe|Sigyn]], [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]]'s wife. She urges the Cupids, Troll and robot to attack the Wyrm already, but [[Juliet-178]] demands to be told the nature the prize they're fighting for in the first place. [[Pythagoras-858]] explains that it is the very venom of the Wyrm, collected in jars and other pieces of pottery all those years; having run out of space to store them, Sigyn wants to clear things out, and the Crew fears that the supernatural venom would work as a counter to their [[Love Potion]], hence being keen that no other power than themselves get their hands on the substance. | |||
While Pythe and Juliet ponder how to defeat the snake, Cesse finds Loki and has a brief talk with the bound trickster, who convinces the robot to free him, as keeping him imprisoned on Christmas would be in breach of his dedication to unconditional Christmas spirit. Noticing him, but not having overheard the conversation, Pythe and Juliet ask for his advice on how to defeat the snake. Loki tells them to remove the bowl currently shielding him, letting a bit of venom hit Loki, who begins thrashing in supernaturally-charged pain, causing a small earthquake that shakes the Wyrm loose from the ceiling, as well as several stalactites, which fall onto the Wyrm and knocking it out. While Juliet rushes to properly defeat the dazed serpent, CS-NA goes to free Loki, who begins to smile. | |||
