Chapter 5: Angelic Advice
When the light cleared, Bane let out a lower whistle, despite himself. Even though he had seen what Nia was going to look like, the angelic being that stood in front of him caught Bane off guard. While she still looked like she was about twenty years old, she now had four wings on her back, and they were snow white with golden edges. Her face was soft, and kind, but she clearly had a confused look on her face.
"How do I look?" Nia asked with a blush, and Bane smiled.
"Like an angel," Bane said with a grin, but then paused, as he realized something. "I hope your not mad that I picked this form for you. Other than Zerynthia, I don't really know what race either of you were before being imprisoned, so I just picked what I thought suited your personality."
Nia had been looking over her body with a childlike wonder as Bane spoke, but looked up after he finished with a confused look.
"Mad? How could I be mad that the man I have fallen for see's me as an angel? You even gave me a modest body, which I am thankful for. I am not as forward as Elexis or Zerynthia, so I appreciate the thought you put into making this new form for me to live with you in your world," Nia said with a smile that nearly melted Bane's heart, but he quickly shook his head to clear it.
"Thank you. I have to say, you are quite different from before... kind of? You seem a bit more confident, but also much more reserved. Did you gain all of your memories from before?" Bane asked with curiosity, and Nia nodded.
"Yes, I was a human mage, but a certain Supreme One tried to make me into one of his pets. In retaliation, I would take my life, and then be reborn without any memory until that same Supreme One found me. I am not sure how long the pattern lasted, but it ended with me being captured and then sent to the demon world. I am not even sure what my real name was or who was chasing me to make me a pet," Nia sighed, and Bane frowned.
"Wow. So some sick fuck was trying to make you into their pet? These Supreme Ones are some pieces of work, but I guess when you have that much power, any sick fantasy can come true," Bane snorted in disgust, and Nia nodded.
"The reason I am so much more open now is because I realize that I want to be with you, and if I have to beg to become one of your wives, then I will do it, no matter how much work it might be," Nia said with a hint of sadness, and Bane smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Hey now, you don't need to worry about that. While I may be forced to take a few more wives, I think you will fit in nicely with the family I already have. That is if Lysia accepts you. I plan to talk to the three of you about her before leaving this place, but I still have to put the two women and Ragna back together," Bane explained, still subconsciously sweating about how this was all going to go down when they met Lysia.
Rather than let that pull him to the depths of despair, Bane pointed to Eve.
"This is my friend and partner, Eve," he explained, then pointed at the blonde angel who was making her four wings appear and disappear. "This is Nia."
Both women smiled, and Bane pointed at the empty screen. "So? Which women are we doing next? I personally don't care how long we take!"
Eve snorted at Bane. "You are just trying to put off the inevitable."
Bane nodded confidently. "You bet! And can you blame me? All that waits for me is death and sore ears!"
"What about Ezio? The poor assassin has been digging for gold in a coal mine since you left," Eve pointed out, but Bane just shrugged.
"Really? You think I give a shit about that? The man killed people for a living, so you can't tell me that this isn't just him working off his past negativity accumulated karma," Bane scoffed, and Eve smiled.
"Oh really? How much karma have you built up?" Eve asked, and Bane frowned.
"Hey! We are not here to talk about me!" Bane warned comically, but then turned to the angel beside him who was still screwing around with her wings. "Hey, Miss Pigeon? Who do you think we should design next?"
Nia blushed, and shrugged helplessly. "I am afraid that I don't know either of them well enough to say anything, but I would like to point out that Elexis seems to be very open to you, so maybe she wouldn't mind what race you choose for her?"
Bane frowned, and thought about it, but then shook his head. "I don't want to make any assumptions about a woman's feelings, but I agree with you about her openness."
With a wave of his hand, the image of the black haired demon women with blue skin and five eyes appeared in the character building window. Elexis's avatar was only wearing matching blue underwear and bra, and Bane had trouble not drooling over the image. This was his first time seeing the women nearly naked, and she had a curvaceous body and chest. It made him wonder if he only liked small and perky ones, or was a new love for inflated chests being born at this very moment?!
"Umm, I know that Elexis probably would like you staring at her body like that, but you look like you want to do things to her body that should only be done after marriage," Nia commented with an awkward laugh, and Bane turned to her.
"Marriage? Boobs? What were we talking about again?" Bane asked with genuine confusion that made Nia laugh and Eve roll her eyes.
"You know you are going to have to owe me a lot of favors in the future, right?" Eve pointed out, and Bane froze, turning his head slowly to the glowing blue woman.
"How so?" Bane asked, but felt a sinking feeling deep within his soul.
"Well, I am sure you would like to enjoy your time designing your possible future wives, but it could be dangerous if a certain were to see my memories of you trying to tear a helpless woman's clothing off with your eyes. I am sure this person would probably be quite upset," Eve pointed out, and Bane looked at Nia who was clearly listening in on their conversation with a hint of curiosity.
"Don't tell her about this, please," Bane begged, but Eve just laughed.
"So? How do you plan to pay me back for not telling her?" Eve asked, and Bane thought about it.
"I don't know? What do you want?" Bane asked, and Eve smiled.
"Nothing much. Beside finding the man I once loved, I do like sweets. In the future, if you come across something that I want to try, you have to get it for me, okay?" Eve asked with an evil smile, and Bane let out a sigh.
"Sheesh. I really thought you were going to lay it on me, but I can do that. This is just a fun moment that I really should be enjoying, and I am going to be facing an infinite amount of wrath when I get out of here, so just let me enjoy this," Bane begged, and Eve laughed, giving him a thumbs up.
"Okay! Let's see the personality stats first!" Bane cheered.
