Now was her time.

The perfect opportunity to kill the Storm King was placed in front of her.

Lulu knew that no better time to get her revenge would arrive.

All she had to do was enter the communication hub of the ship, the one place where the Storm King spends most of his time.

"Lulu, we're having a trivia party in the lounge in fifteen minutes, wanna join?" An unmasked Storm-born asked her as she passed by, Lulu recognized her as one of the maids that showed her around during her first day on the ship.

Not like it happened long ago, she's only been on board for a week.
According to Lord Strife, The fleet is taking a safer yet slower route to the Great Nilus River border. They should arrive in another two weeks' time.

But it matters not to Lulu how long the flight takes or how many trivia nights she will need to participate in! She has only one goal in mind.

Getting revenge on the Storm King for what he did to her gang, and she will get her revenge.

Even if she has to learn a lot more about the fertility rates of fish in Kirin territories than she feels comfortable with.

Some of those trivia nights get weird.

"What do we know about magic?" I asked myself as I sat cross-legged on the cool metal floor of the comm room, the only sound other than my own being the quiet hums emanating from the magical crystal screens.

"We know that only a small number of species can actively use magic," I Continued speaking quietly, slowly tapping my fingers on a knee.

"For some reason, all the races that can actively use magic have extra organs to make it work," I continue recalling the knowledge the OSK gathered in his years of research and planning, "Be it Unicorns with their horns, Turtles with their shells, Dragons with their internal flame-sacks, or even the plume feathers of royal Hippogriff," While any of those examples are capable of using magic in some form and to some extent, be it the arcane mastery of Unicorns, the geological tempering of Turtles, a Dragon's wide variety of breath related spells, or even just the Royal Hippogriff's imaginary constructs.

No magical species has the exact same magic as another.

Which begs another question, "What of species who have additional body parts yet lack magic?"

Some that come to mind are Minotaurs and Yaks, unless of course the extreme feats of physical strength the species are famed for count as a passive form of magic. Or is the strength purely natural and is simply magnified to fit the cartoon nature of this world?

And what about my people? The Storm-Born? "I have horns, My Strength doesn't seem magical in nature," While I am physically stronger than a normal human, so is a gorilla, or a bull, or even a wild boar.

However I also never tested the limits of how strong this body is, and the OSK never bothered to do so either.

Why lift a finger to fight if your soldiers could do it for you?

I know that the Storm-Born and even myself have a sort of shock resistance, yet that is proven by the archives of the Storm Castle Library to be a symptom of living on Storm Island for generations over many centuries.

In order to increase the species' survival rate, the hair on our bodies grew thick and hard, losing its color in the process, to defend us from the lightning from the sky and the tall cliffs around us.
