Technically, it wouldn't have been possible for the sleeping prince curse to go out of its boundaries like that but combine Mihoshi and the Nerima district's chaos factors... I'm sure you get the idea.
The spell was now feeding on Nerima's raw chaos to extend its zone of influence. Naturally, such an output of mystical energies was bound to attract the attention of a certain trio of goddesses...
"Oh my... It looks so gloomy here..." Belldandy stared at the desolate lands surrounding the dreaded castle of Akane the uncute scarlet dragon "Even when Mara did her castle thing at Nekomi, it wasn't that bad..."
"You tell me, sis..." Urd whistled "The mind behind this must be evil and twisted to the extreme ! Look at that !" Her finger pointed in the direction of the undead patrols scouring the area and the bizarre landscape attractions such as the spatula hill and the toxic swamp.
"Scary..." Skuld wasn't feeling particularly good. This kind of scenery was perfect for ghosts to pop out, brrrr... But she couldn't leave Belldandy and Urd alone to do this. At least Keichi stayed at the temple and wouldn't be in the way.
Urd took out a worn-out flyer from her cleavage "According to this, there's a human prince named Ranma Saotome in this castle there..." Lightning flashed and thunder cracked (ambiance oblige) "who has been struck by a 'sleeping beauty' spell and is guarded by a red dragon and its evil minions. The first girl, who is either of noble blood or royalty, who kisses him will free him from the curse and the two will live happily ever after.."
Belldandy sighed, smiling while Skuld swooned "It's so romantic..." Urd sweatdropped "Romantic or not, the original spell has connected to the chaos nexus here and is growing in power... We have to stop it until it spills out further ! But first... We have to pass through those !" Urd gestured in the direction of the tangle of giant and dark vines obstructing the path to the castle.
"Hehehe..." Skuld smirked and pulled out a device looking like a cross between a vacuum cleaner, a chopper and a lawnmower "Behold my new invention ! My Thorn-Sucker Automatic 4000 will get rid of all those nasty vines !" She turned the machine on and let it make mincemeat of the vegetal nightmare.
Urd was pinching her nose in aggravation "Skuld... Couldn't you just use a set of shears ? Or gardening clippers ?"
Belldandy was still looking at the castle, using her goddess senses to scan for information when she noticed an aura she knew well. she gasped "Oh my ! Why did Peorth enter the castle alone ?"
*****
Peorth had read the flyer, thought about it long and hard and came up with a plan : she would be the one to kiss and awaken this Ranma Saotome, thus ending the curse and getting a human lover in one fell swoop ! Keichi Morisato and his love story with Belldandy had convinced her that maybe, just maybe happiness could be found between deities and mortals. The fact that this boy was more appealing than Keichi according to human (and her own) standards was icing on the cake.
It was simple. As an aesir, she was Kami-sama/Odin's daughter. He was king of Asgard, making her a princess thus eligible for waking up the sleeping Ranma. Now she had to hurry before the norns made that conclusion too and tried to steal her future boyfriend, not to mention all the competition already inside.
