Chapter 3 - Another Meeting with the Demon Lord

  "Sir Knight?" Vanessa said as she caught a glimpse of Mia. "Oh, I am so happy you survived!" She ran up to Mia and gave her the biggest hug, lifting her off the ground. "So how are you liking your punishment? It was pretty creative if I do say so myself, and I do say so!"

  Mia was starting to turn blue from the hug. "Can't breathe…" She struggled to get out. Eventually everything faded to black again as he heard Vanessa yelling.

  "Sir knight? Sir Knight?! Oh no did I squeeze her too hard!" Vanessa yelled as Mia lost consciousness.

  Slowly Mia regained her senses, when she opened her eyes, she could see she was in a small house laying in a bed. Mia did not see Vanessa anywhere and wondered where she had put her this time. "Ugh I really don't stand a chance against her." Mia said to herself. "All that training, all those adventures to get equipment, and all those quests to get me stronger, was for nothing." Mia got out of the bed and noticed she was naked. This is the first time she really looked down at her new female body. "Damn they're big" Mia said while grabbing her breasts. In the distance she noticed a mirror on the other side of the room. "Guess I should check myself out." Mia Said on her way to the mirror. Observing herself she could see her perfect curves, large breasts, and slender frame. She also noticed it was true, her "sword" was gone. So were her muscles, as a man she had rippling muscles that were cut and tone. Now all her flesh is soft and smooth. "Guess all my hard work is gone as well." Mia sighed. She looked around the room to see if there was any way that she could test her strength.

  She found it, the bed itself looked like it would be a challenge to lift. It was made of solid hardwood and had to weigh more than a few hundred pounds. "I know lifting something like this would have been easy in my old body. Let's see if I have any strength at all." Mia said as she crouched down preparing to lift the bed. "Here goes!" Mia attempted to lift the bed with all her might, her face turned red as the blood rushed to it. This of course made the world fade to black once again as Mia passed out once more.

  Just as her naked body fell to the floor, Vanessa entered the room. "Sir Knight! No!" She rushed over to catch Mia's head so that it would not bang against the hard floor. "Seriously trying to overexert yourself when you just got better. What did you want under the bed anyway?" Vanessa lifts out her arm and gently grabs the bed with a few fingers. With ease she lifts the bed clear off the floor. "See there was nothing under here, Sir Knight. Now back to bed with you." Vanessa puts the bed back down, picks Mia up and puts her back to bed. "Now you rest up and I will go make us some food."

  A while later Mia awakens again. "Damn it" She said to herself. "I strained so hard I passed out. I can't believe how week this body is." Mia just lays there thinking about the words from her former master. "If you ever find a problem you can't handle, train harder! And if that's not enough, train even harder!" Those words were drilled into her every day while she was training at the church. "I guess I should just train this body, if it doesn't have muscles then I will train until it does." Mia gets out of bed again determined to improve her body. She sits down on the ground and starts doing pushups. "One…. Two…." Mia was struggling to do even pushups. Back in her old body she would not even break a sweat until she had done over five hundred. "Five…" Just then her arms collapse, and she falls to the ground again. "Well it's a start." Mia dusted herself off and got back up. Remembering that she is still naked. "Right I should find some clothes." Mia searched the room and found a wardrobe in the corner. She opened it to find her village dress that she was wearing before. She quickly put it back on.

  "Dinners ready, Sir Knight!" Vanessa could be heard yelling from the other room. "Better wake up and come in here if you don't want it to get cold."

  "Well she hasn't killed me yet, so I doubt she would poison me." Mia said to herself as she made her way to the dining room. Upon entering the dining room Mia saw Vanessa sitting at the table with an open chair at the other end fully set. Mia took a deep breath and sat at the table. "Looks really good." Mia said, commenting on the food that lay before her. "So many different vegetables, did you grow them all yourself?" Mia was trying to break the ice with Vanessa because she knew at this moment, she had no chance, the gap between their power was too great.

  "Why yes, I did, I hope you don't mind there's no meat sir knight. I always get upset when I eat one of my babies." Vanessa replied.

  "Your babies?" Mia asked. "You called the demons your babies too if I recall."

  Vanessa did not answer her, just looked at her and smiled. "So how are you adjusting? Isn't your new look just the cutest!"

  Mia thought for a moment as to what she could say, finally decided to just take a risk. "Can you change me back? This body is so weak I can barely do 5 pushups."

  There was a silence in the room as Mia waited for Vanessa to respond. Seconds felt like hours and minutes felt like days. After what seemed like an eternity Vanessa responded. "What kind of punishment would it be if I just changed you back. Besides, I like you better this way, you're just so cute!" Vanessa turned her attention back to her plate and took a few bites. "Besides, it took me weeks to get you just right!"

  "Weeks?! I thought no time had passed at all, and you are telling me you defeated me weeks ago?!" Mia scrambled to gather her thoughts. "Shouldn't you have conquered the world by now, I mean you did defeat the hero, no one could really stop you."

  "Conquer the world?" Vanessa looked puzzled. "Why would I want to conquer the world? I just like tending my garden and relaxing by my pond. Conquering the world does not sound ever relaxing at all. Besides, too many of my babies would get hurt if I did that!"

  "But the demon armies, they were destroying us, they killed so many of us." Mia continued her questioning.

  "Oh, right my demon babies were causing you quite the fuss weren't they." Vanessa answered. "Don't you worry your pretty little head Sir Knight. I told my babies to stop all that destruction and that they were in time out for the next three hundred years!"

  "Wait what?" Mia was so confused. "You had all of your forces retreat?"

  "Well sure! I don't want them to cause any trouble with my other babies." Vanessa made direct eye contact with Mia. "Thank you for telling me they were out of control."

  "Can I ask another question?" Mia asked.

  "You just did, silly!" Vanessa teased. "But sure, you can ask me anything, as long as you don't try to cut me again. I still can't believe you just charged me like that."

  "I am sorry, my body just told me I had to attack." Mia answered. "Why are you here instead of your home in the forest?"

  "Oh well that's simple. My demon babies asked me nicely to leave. They said that if they were going to be confined to the forest that they did not want me there with them." Vanessa thought for a second. "Of course, that's awful mean of my babies but I do love to make them happy. Do you have any other questions Sir Knight?"

  Mia thought to herself, trying to decide what to ask next. The few weeks of lost time were eating away at her, so she decided to ask about that. "Why did it take you a few weeks to change me? It seems with your power you could do it easily."

  "Oh, changing you is easy!" Vanessa was thrilled by the question. It is not very often that she gets asked about her work and she loves to talk about it. "I just couldn't figure out the best look for you! First your breasts were too small, then they were too big, I know I spent a solid week just changing the size of them. Then you were too tall or too short, too thin, or too fat. I changed your hair color over twelve times as well. Your eye color too. Finally, after weeks of work I am happy with the outcome. Just simply so cute!"

  Mia was horrified by this, that would mean her body had been twisted and played with like putty for weeks, that must have been why she was so sore.

  "Of course, with all the constant changes to your body, you pretty much lost all your muscle mass. You are basically starting out back at square one." Vanessa continued. "But don't you worry! You can always rebuild those muscles! The important thing is you survived!"

  Mia had another question she had to ask. "Why do you refer to everything as your babies? I know you didn't answer me earlier and I really don't want to upset you, but I have to know."

  "Oh, Sir Knight, you take all the fun out of teasing you." Vanessa smiled. "If you must know I call them my babies because I created them."
