Hild slowly opened the door to the house before she entered. She couldn't afford to be seen, at least not yet. She had to make sure that everything was properly set before she made her presence known to the occupants of the house. As she walked through the house she stopped at each door to see who the occupants were and what they were doing. The first few rooms were unoccupied and sat still in utter darkness. She knew that during the day that these rooms were filled with light, laughter, and love from all of the occupants. Room after room she continued to make her way through the house, until finally she came to one of the many different rooms that actually contained an occupant.
The first room that she came to belonged to Belldandy. The Goddess was lying fast asleep within her bed. The room was just as Hild expected. There were pictures of her and Keiichi laughing together on a table against a far wall. Within a niche, there sat on a small table sat a vase with a flower that she picked. Everything was neat and tidy with tender loving care. Hild almost wanted to vomit everywhere at the mere sight of the room, but she fought back the urge as she remembered why she was there in the first place.
Hild walked over to Belldandy and looked down at the sleeping Goddess and started wondering what kind of dreams she had to make her twitch and mutter in her sleep. As Hild reached out and touched Belldandy's temple she was immediately sucked into Belldandy's dreams. As Hild landed on her feet within the temple that she just standing in, she found Keiichi and Belldandy sitting on the porch watching the sun set and talking about the day that they just had. 'This girl spends the day with Keiichi and she dreams about what they did that very day? I can't believe her. She obviously is a First Class Goddess if she can't even have impure thoughts in her dreams.' As Hild removed her finger from Belldandy's head she started thinking about giving her a different kind of dream that would have Belldandy a little flustered in the morning, however, she was not here for Belldandy and she couldn't afford to have her wake up. Even though she was not as powerful as Hild was, Belldandy was still a great nuisance that could stop everything Hild wanted to do. "Keep dreaming your sweet dreams, Goddess while you are still here on earth. I've found a way go get rid of you for good."
In the next room Hild found her own daughter sleeping among many different types of potions and hexes that were placed around her room. "Just like her mother, she meddles in different types of magick trying to find what she can never have. I see that she has a new potion going on." As Hild stopped to look down at the potion she laughed out loud to herself. "Still trying to perfect Love Crystals? I'm sorry to say that there is no way to make true love happen. It's just something that happens between humans and Goddess and sometimes both humans and Goddesses. One day you'll come to realize that." Hild was about to leave the room when she heard Urd mutter something in her sleep. As she walked over to her sleeping daughter, Urd muttered again in her sleep. "What was that you were saying, Urd?"
"Haha (Mother)"
Hild closed the door behind her as she left the room. It seems that even Urd kept her promises that she made. She called out for Hild as her mother in her sleep and hopefully she will call out for her mother in her waking days, but that was something that might never come to pass and Hild understood that. There were so many distractions within this house that Hild was beginning to find it harder and harder to do what she needed to do.
In the next room, Hild found Keiichi tossing around in a pile with half of his body off of his bed. He was still a cutie and she was going to win him over Belldandy no matter what happens in the end. After all, it would make her sad and make Hild happy and that was all that really mattered in the end. Hild really didn't want Keiichi because she had feelings for him, but because he was an innocent that could be corrupted after some time. "Keiichi appears to be having some nightmares. Get up Keiichi and go lay next to Belldandy while you're still able too. I prefer my men to know how to keep a woman warm at night, but for now you just need to learn to lie next to a woman. I'll teach you the rest later." Keiichi muttered his understanding and got to his feet and, like a zombie, walked from the room and down the hall towards Belldandy's room.
Hild finally found the person that she was looking for in the very next room. Skuld had placed Banpei by her door to keep guard while Skuld slept, but the robot didn't stand a chance against Hild's evil touch. As she looked around the room she couldn't help but notice all the differences between the three Goddesses. Urd was magic and potions, Belldandy was strictly clean and "human", and Skuld was technology and robotics. Yet somehow all three called each other family and learned to live together.
The child lay peacefully in her bed still muttering to herself about how she was going to get "Big Sis" to return back to Heaven with her without Keiichi. It was almost enough to make Hild laugh to think that this child believed that she could separate those two lovers with such childish tactics. Therefore, it was up to Hild to intervene with some of her more powerful magic and see to it that Keiichi and Belldandy finally separate for good.
"What is it that you desire," Hild whispered into Skulds ear.
"I don't want Keiichi to take Big Sis from me. If she falls in love with Keiichi she will not want to return to Heaven with me and I'll be all alone."
"Why do you not want to be alone?"
"Cause Urd is mean to me and Belldandy is the only person who really understands me. Why did Keiichi have to make such a stupid wish like that?"
"It's because Keiichi doesn't want you to be happy. He only wants Belldandy for himself and he does not wish to share her with you anymore. What do you intend to do about it? Especially, after you find out that he is actually with her right now in her bed."
"I'm going to launch a Skuld Bomb attack on Keiichi in the morning. He's going to regret taking Belldandy from me."
"I think that you can do better than that, Skuld. Allow your true nature to shine though during the night and when you awake in the morning, all that you wish for will come true. Just be careful on what you wish for out loud though, because you will only be allowed one wish from me with no restrictions and no contracts. Make me proud child."
Hild sealed the deal between herself and Skuld with a kiss to the cheek. Hild knew that the child would have to venture through Hell and back before she finally woke up from her dreams, but in the end it would be worth the travel. To Skuld this would be just another night asleep with dreams of a sister who desired to return back to her side. They were just bittersweet dreams that every child had when they realize it's time to grow up and let go.
'Maybe I should look into that spell that's been placed on the temple while I'm still here.' As Hild stood in the hallway and looked up and down the hallway, she realized that she could not feel the presence of any shield or magic within the home except for those of the Goddesses. 'It's seems that my little friend is on to me. Or else he's finally left the house. He is obviously not anywhere within the house or on the grounds for that matter. Oh well. There's nothing that he can do now because the sun will be up in four hours and Skuld will make her wish and send all three Goddesses back to Heaven for good.'
Pleased with herself, Hild left the house and returned back to her own hideout. There was no point in her waiting around when the seeds had already been planted. Perhaps she would get some sleep before returning in the morning and watch the fireworks start.
Meanwhile within the house, Skuld turned on her beddo (bed) as the dreams started to surface. So many different times that she and Belldandy shared together and none of them had Keiichi. Keiichi was always stealing Belldandy away for himself and treating Skuld like just a kid. The thought of Keiichi not around brought a smile to her face. The more she dreamed about it, the more her symbol began to separate and turn red. The demon that was planted within Skuld's heart grew stronger and stronger the more she continued to dream, until finally morning came and Skuld knew exactly what had to be done. She would have to kill Keiichi no matter the cost.
