Kugelblitz

There is a looming thunderstorm ahead. The clash of Light vs Lightning in the Science! Alliance (DomBusters) in October can produce unpredictable results. Perhaps it will help both flights understand dominance better and bust some myths about it, but their battle itself creates more myths and surprises. Kugelblitzes are so rare that they are sometimes seen as a myth. Can Light and Lightning converge? Flashes of light and lightning happen so intensely at different intervals that sometimes an aftershock remains and a luminous sphere lingers before exploding in a brilliant flash of light and energy. This has piqued the interest of some of Light’s scholars and Lightning’s researchers, who have decided to study this phenomena a bit more.

True enough, Kugelblitzes (Kugels) are beings of light and lightning. They come to life from the intense amounts of light and energy from the combined push of both flights. Kugels are rare and difficult to find as they are extremely fast and agile, darting from one place to another and only leaving a blur of light or electricity behind. Their colouration differs from which flight they are born from; a light variant has more concentration of light energy and has a yellow sheen to it, whereas a lightning Kugel lights up with blue electrical energy. Both are equally capable and comfortable in living in another flight’s territory.

Kugels are naturally prideful. They declare their power by the dragon who has the highest concentration of energy, be it light or lightning. This usually means a fight to the death, especially between males competing for females. Personality traits differ from variants; a light variant is more honourable and loves to battle (coli), whereas the lightning variant prefers to innovate and win by wits and thinking alone.
