New idea in Developing a Slayer
Today I tied some loose ends in my novel up, and I'm thrilled beyond belief. Only, I've written myself into some frustrating places. Maybe I should write down the change, first.
So, my main character is Callix Ruelo. She is ten years old and is a regenerative spirit, meaning that when she dies, she is in a waiting room for fifty years and is then sent down to a death world/Earth if that's necessary for another life. If she dies at age ten, her body is reborn and she is ghosted-and-spirited (the two essential layers of a body to make it function) at the age she died at. Up to age nine she would be an empty shell, and when she turns ten she becomes a normal functioning spirit.
Her parents are Symo and Marria, two spirits who are the king and queen of their death world, or so she thinks. Turns out, her parents are Astrixto and Marria. Astrixto is a demon who mistakenly believes he's a god (although he can give partial immortality to spirits he likes, and he can break certain rules, such as the no having children because demons are sterile). So, Callix is part regenerative spirit, part demon.
Problem. In the third novel, Callix is reincarnated in a living human body on Earth. Unless a demon plays some sort of role in that and once again allows her to be part human/spirit, part demon, it's something that is only relevent in the second novel. I like the idea of Callix being part demon. It would make my writing make more sense. In the third novel, she isn't a true villain but she ends up siding with the demons because she isn't one of the good guys, either. I think it would be a neat twist that she remains a demon. But again, I'm not sure how all that would work. *Makes very frustrated noise*
