I've seen those. Couple of the fishermen down here have stories about being dragged out of the lake by a waterhorse. But why would she make creatures to help rescue people and then make more to try and drown them again?

[ He knows she's capricious, but Alucard's right: it doesn't quite make sense. ]

Epythimetikon's skeleton is upriver from the lake, and I know it wasn't like this before the war. What if the dragon's blood got into the groundwater? Into the river?

[ Not that Noctis would know anything about the myriad ways dragon's blood can poison a living system. Just. You know. A guess. ]
