26 April 2023 Notes
It… hasn’t been my best week so far. Still, pushing through!
So I have a couple options. I think I’ll try out my latest story idea first, though; if I have extra time later, I can have another writing session. I hope I do… [Spoiler: I did not.]
The idea is to keep/maintain the seal on the demon king, someone has to go in with him. Instead of the priestess person who stereotypically would, it’s a fighter-type woman. (Or maybe a battle mage? I dunno.) When the seal is undone a century or more later, it isn’t the demon king, but the warrior woman who steps out.
What is she like? What tech do we have to work with? What does she find when she steps out?
In my initial imaginings yesterday, she used guns. Twin pistols, even. Why? Did they lose that tech in the intervening years? I don’t really like that idea.
Is the new world post-apocalyptic? If so, what happened? Since the demon king’s dead and all…
I don’t really want to go from high fantasy/medieval to modern day, either. Hmm…
Let’s have Kyra be a swordswoman/barbarian. Twin blades? Ooh, no, let’s go twin axes, w/ some brawler mixed in. She’s actually the older sister of… No, just good friends with the priestess. She does have personal beef with the demon lord; he killed someone important to her (husband and child, I’m thinking). Don’t know how personal his involvement in their deaths was…
She gets some demon lord powers for spending so long trapped with him.
