    I had this idea of a corruption/possession story about a queen who lost her king and kingdom. Locked up in a cell, waiting for execution, she then makes a prayer offering "anything" to get her revenge. ...But the prayer is answered by a daemon or some sort of evil god who makes her regret not making her offering more precisely worded.


    Obviously since the ex-queen is imprisoned and doesn't currently have riches, servants, or any type of power, the things that she can offer are very limited.

    The dilemma here is that I have multiple ideas on how to take the plot, but can't decide on a specific one. Which eventually reminded me that I could do multiple paths on CHYOA and explore all the possibilities.

    Does the queen get possessed with a daemon who uses her as a vessel and only fulfils the promise of revenge by destroying the kingdom completely? Does the dark power instead possess a 18 yo prince/princess of the kingdom who had been kept alive to be the spouse of the usurper and now the queen mother has to watch her child corrupt and conquer the land? Or does the queen specifically offer the soul&body of her child to the daemon, so that she can save herself and regain the throne?


    I'm gonna ponder on this for a while and see if I can actually get the story written.
