[[File:CS-NA and Jormungandir.png|thumb|CS-NA, in the [[World Below]], is briefly threatened by the serpent [[Jormungandir]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'')]]However, his “randomised” numbers were remotely highjacked by [[Loki#In the Prime Universe|Loki]], and he ended up materialising in the [[World Below]] in the [[Prime Universe]], right as [[Jormungandir]] and [[Tero Trollgarsson]] were about to clash. [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Juliet-178]] were also present and recognised him. Agreeing with Jormungandir that this could be no coincidence, they deduced the truth about what had brought them all together in the World Below. 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. | [[File:CS-NA and Jormungandir.png|thumb|CS-NA, in the [[World Below]], is briefly threatened by the serpent [[Jormungandir]].

On the fairly long way there, they came across the serpent's 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 Cesse 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 by a boulder, allowing the group to proceed. Arriving in the cavern where Loki was actually imprisoned, CS-NA let himself be convinced by the God to free him while Pythe and Juliet were busy dealing with the Wyrm, using his expertise as a ship-building robots to cut Loki's chains.

After escaping, Loki tried to put a plan in motion to take over the world but was, however, quickly recaptured by Fenrir, who'd regained consciousness. A sheepish CS-NA, having witnessed how dangerous and destructive Loki would be if he were free, explained himself to the Cupids, who agreed to keep his lapse of judgment a secret. Still loathe to leave Loki and his family with such a rubbish Christmas, he helped them set up a Christmas dinner within the cavern before he, the Cupids and the Troll all returned to the Cupid Homeworld, where he began properly setting up the party. In addition to inviting all the Cupids, CS-NA also delivered invitations to the Cupids' friends around the Multiverse, including Jenny and her sister [[Julie Jacobs#Christmas in the Cupid Homeworld|Julie]]. The “hero of the feast”, he got to sit at the centre of the huge banquet table set up in a warehouse on the Homeworld for the party. Watching the huge collection of disparate beings enjoying one another's company, he merrily came to the conclusion that there was a final Fundamental Element of Holiday Joy he had overlooked: “Love”.
