The Dowser is unusually firm, nothing at all like the nervous goat he was from earlier. You take a harder look at the goat. The pupil of his eyes unusually large and dilated, something is off.
"What has gotten into you?"
The Dowser turns his eyes upon you and smiles manically.
"A bit of Candy! WHEEEE!!"
Your Dowser is high on drugs. You look at the Bodyguard and Yatagarasu for an explanation.
"Meep, twas that or dealing with an unwilling goat, your Majesty."
The Bodyguard shows his bag of Candy to you as the Dowser hums a happy tune and begins pressing a flower petal of Mana into his dowsing stick.
"Do not fear, your Majesty! Nothing can remain hidden from me, be it in the hateful World or Avalon or the undiscovered country!"
There's no point in wishing that the Dowser isn't on drugs. You'll just have to deal with any troubles that result from it later. Your team watches as the fake Cath Palug flees, but no one can see what it is running from. You happen to look upwards in the sky above the fleeing cat and realize that you made a few assumptions.
You assumed that there was only one Knight.
You also assumed that the Knight fighting the fake is land bound.
In truth, there are two Knights, and they are both flying above the monster.
One is a teenage boy wearing flowing robes and long hair fluttering in the wind. He is concentrating hard, as though he can do nothing else but fly. Oh wow, he's actually a pretty good-looking guy. If he just styled his hair a bit more and maybe chose something better to wear, he'd be a stunning guy. Flowing robes do not suit him in the least.
The other is a teenage girl around your age. She is very tall and very athletic looking. Even from a distance, you can sense an aura of leadership and strength. On her brow is a golden crown that shines, and in her hand is a powerful-looking sword brimming with magic.

The voice of your Namesake King Lot springs from your mouth.
