Keiichi slept through the night, dreaming. He didn't know how he could still dream. He was a disembodied spirit...right? Did ghosts have dreams to? Oh well. Keiichi knew he was dreaming because what did happen in his dreams made no sense whatsoever. Granted, most dreams don't make a lot of sense. But the dreams he had when he was asleep were some of the most bizzare dreams he ever had. In one dream, he was approaching tall gates that towered over him a good 40 feet. The gate itself was pearly and shined in the midday sun. He wasn't alone either. On either side of him, there were other people with him. People he didn't recongized at all.
"Keiichi Morisato" said a booming voice above him. "your time has not yet come. You may return to the shrine"
In another dream, he was floating above the city, alongside of....something. He couldn't quite tell what was alongside him...it seemed to change shape every time he looked at it. It--whatever it was--had a long black robes on that completely covered it. Keiichi thought he saw a skull in the depths of the hood, but he couldn't tell for sure.
That was when he woke with a start. He was no longer a disembodies spirit, because he was lying on the bed rather than hovering inches above it. He got to a sitting postition, and was face-to-face with Urd herself.
"Morning" she said. Keiichi noticed that Urd no longer had her bloated belly from last night.
"Megumi?" asked Urd. "she had to leave early this morning...so Skuld ate you, huh?"
Keiichi was about to ask how Urd knew it was Skuld who had eaten him...but stopped himself. Instead, he asked: "Where's Belldandy?"
"Cooking breakfast" said Urd.
Keiichi wondered if he should tell Urd about his dreams.
"Oh..those dreams are nothing to worry about" said Urd. "Believe me, they were just dreams"
