18. Project - Aby genuinely enjoys blacksmithing work. Someone comes into the smithy she's using looking to cause trouble, and she gives them a /look/. They think better of it...

Art by Luigiix - cover of "N.I.C.E.F.: Neural-Interface Controlled Exo-Frame" novel. Human eye top left, alien eye top right, title full-center, child facing a riot-police line with a mech bottom left, a Nicef (mech) with a beamsaber bottom center, young woman with half-body prosthetics in a medical cot bottom right. Art by Luigiix - cover of "Demon King Daughter Book 1: Raising the Demon King" by P.J.C. Cahill. This text appears in black, red-outlined text at the bottom of the image. - Top Left (Hideyoshi) is an aged human man with silver hair, a long beard and mustache, and stern features. Top Right is a demon man (Torlash) with long, black hair, tall, thin horns, red-in-black, slitted eyes, and pale gray skin. - Middle of the image shows seven characters. From left to right: 1) Kiseki: (woman) short black hair, pale skin, brown eyes. Wears a gray sweater and black cargo pants. 2) Hasava: tall woman in a black business suit, with a white shirt and black tie. Her skin is pale, her hair long, black, and straight, and her eyes blue. 3) Issei: tan skin, brown eyes, short, brown hair, and a scruffy beard. There's hints of graying in his hair. He wears a brown jacket, a pale T-shirt, and jeans. 4) Seina: teenage girl in a mostly-white Japanese boy's school uniform. She has mildly tan skin, brown eyes, but vibrant green, neck-length hair. 5) Nori: adult woman holding a young child. Nori has sky-blue, short hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue pants. 6) Himari: A little girl in a blue dress and shirt, with the same sky-blue hair as Nori. She is laughing happily with her eyes closed. 7) Yuuto: man in a dark dress shirt and black slacks. He is stern and muscular, with sharp features, short, brown hair with signs of gray, and brown eyes. - Bottom, foreground of the image features a mother (Masuyo) and daughter (Kyoka) pair. Masuyo is holding Kyoka on her hip, and they're both smiling happily at each other. Masuyo has neck-length, black hair, a tan skin, brown eyes, and is wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, with black pants. Kyoka has very dark, brown skin, short, messy black hair, and vibrantly red eyes. She's wearing a black hoodie, baggy shorts, and puffy white socks sticking out of her simple sneakers.

#NovemberWorldbuilders 18 - Demon King Daughter - Kyoka and Water - Kyoka can use water magic, if she wishes. Otherwise, there is a critical scene involving her washing her face while her traumas stack up in her mind.

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - subbed 'backward' - Another example of Himari sticking up for Kyoka, especially toward her parents. She has to do that a lot, and I really admire her courage for it.

Himari twisted, marching for the exit. Nori actually bolted out, and grabbed her daughter's arm. Himari was so shocked by the physical grip, she was successfully halted and wrenched backward, staring up at her mother. "Do not interfere. We finally have her dead to rights. You've been tricked, Himari. You have to let this go," Nori listed out with a dark tension in her voice, her teeth gritting after. Himari narrowed her eyes rather than growing afraid. "No. I'm not standing by this time. She's a student, and under legal age. An interrogation is completely inappropriate. She has to have a guardian present at the very least." "I'm sure her mother was called. You are staying here. You need to recover from whatever she did to you." Himari actually wrenched herself free, which startled her mother in turn, and braced back, clearly ready for her mother to try restraining her again. "All she did was protect me! You are being completely irrational! You and Dad both go insane the moment Kyoka enters the picture! She just saved my life. She's been nothing but kind to me. I am NOT letting this go." #WIPSnips a Bluesky Writing Community Tag Hosted by rosie-j-potter.bsky.social November 17th - November 23rd November 17 - spend November 18 - retrograde November 19 - third November 20 - special November 21 - direction November 22 - crystal November 23 - global

17. Prayer - Abyliahct rarely prays. She doesn't really believe in gods that way anymore. She's had to 'kill' too many of them. ...But when Y'shtola was yanked away to the First, she prayed long and hard at her bedside.

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Another moment between Issei and Seina (father/daughter). I enjoyed blending totally normal slice-of-life moments with fantasy world-building like this.

He grinned for her, and moved to the fridge, while she sat at a stool against the island in the middle of the kitchen. "So what's up with training?" he prompted as he got to work. "Me being, uh... melee-focused is weird. They're expecting me to cast spells and stuff. Like at range." Issei shut his eyes for a moment of pained realization. He pinched his nose for a moment more, then calmed his own frustration. "I'm really sorry, Pip." Seina fidgeted a bit. "Don't feel bad, Dad. I'm really proud of what I can do with your training. Don't worry about that." "Is it going to cause issues with the training class?" he moved on, both of them fully aware he still felt guilty as he moved across the kitchen with a few ingredients. "Not... really. The instructor is going to focus on helping me... aim it at range." They shared a serious glance for a beat. She'd never been able to make her power leave her skin before, and he'd tried to lean into it while giving them something to share and spend time together on. "...You're good with it?" he checked at last. "I don't want to drop the training, is probably my real answer," Seina replied seriously. #WIPSnips a Bluesky Writing Community Tag Hosted by rosie-j-potter.bsky.social November 17th - November 23rd November 17 - spend November 18 - retrograde November 19 - third November 20 - special November 21 - direction November 22 - crystal November 23 - global

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Kiseki and Hasava's first meeting XD I love how their relationship blossoms from this comedically absurd moment to the warmth and care they share later in the series.

The door knocking startled Masuyo, but Kyoka seemed pleased. "Aunt Kiseki is here!" She was already hopping out of her seat to run to the door, very much the excited little girl. Hasava stared after her. "...Aunt Kiseki?" Masuyo started to stand, but just gave up, slumping back into her seat with a soft groan, rubbing her forehead. "Yes. Kiseki is technically our neighbor, but she has helped me care for Kyoka for years. For all intents and purposes, we're family." Hasava became more alert. "This other human helped protect my Lord's new life?" Masuyo raised an eyebrow, but nodded. "Yes, very much so." Just as Kyoka and Kiseki appeared in the kitchen -- Kiseki clearly curious and mildly concerned herself -- Hasava actually stood up, and bowed sharply. "I am at Lady Kiseki's service as well." Kyoka giggled, but Masuyo and Kiseki had to stare for a beat, then share a quick glance. "...H-hello..." Kiseki managed weakly. #WIPSnips a Bluesky Writing Community Tag Hosted by rosie-j-potter.bsky.social November 10th - November 16th.
