"That is wonderful Princess Cora!" He then picks up Tsukiko, putting her on his shoulders. "Hold on Princess Tsukiko." He walks into the water, up to his waist.
Tsukiko looks around, slids off and holds on his wing as she learns to float. She still felt a little uneasy about the water.
Jr. goes out a bit deeper, floating and learning to paddle the water.

Xenobia frowned, not liking to be outdone by her other siblings. She paddled out past Cora and beamed. She swam around in circles, quickly getting tired. As she made a circle, her head bobbed under the water, she came back up, but went down again, this time staying there.
Cora splashed nervously, trying to get someone's attention.

Jr looked around, not seeing Xenobia. He then dived under the water for a bit. A few bubbles remained on the surface, then all of a suddenly Jr comes up to the surface with Xenobia, gasping.
Lunar looked scared at what he saw of Xenobia's state. "Everyone out of the water!!!"
Tsukiko swims to shore quickly just as Teruko heads in.

Cora helped Jr hold Xenobia up and to shore.
Ravenna was up quickly and took Xenobia from the two and got her to the shore, setting her down and trying to get the water out of her lungs. "Lunar!!"

Lunar hurries over starting CPR, hoping that she would breath.
Jr laid on the sand, trying to catch some air. "Thanks Cora! You helped Xenobia!"
Tsukiko and Teruko looked on, scared.

Xenobia sputtered water out of her mouth and gasped for air.
The moment Xenobia moved, Ravenna took a deep breath and relaxed. She hadn't realized that she was holding her breath, at least not until she breathed again. "Don't you ever do that again Xenobia..."
Cora sniffled and ducked behind Jr for protection. Ravenna's tone was none too nice, scaring Cora.

"It wasn't her fault my Queen...it was my fault...I didn't teach the prince and princesses the rules about swimming....."Lunar looked deeply ashamed, hating himself for putting his daughter in danger.
Jr Sat up, a little worried. Teruko and Tsukiko peek behind Ravenna, scared at their mother's tone.

Ravenna shook her head, "I don't want this to happen ever again. If that means no more swimming, so be it." She was shaking gently, her hooves balled up to try and control the adrenaline that was shooting through her system. "I almost lost you..."

Deeply saddened and feeling like a total failure as a father, Lunar helps Xenobia once she got the water out.
Jr got up and came closer. "Xen okay?"

Ravenna got up and went over to a sunny spot and sat down. She knew it wasn't anyone's fault...it just happened...but she was scared and worried and didn't know how to handle the situation.
Xenobia nodded at Jr. "I'm fine. Just a little water logged."
Cora nuddged her father's hoof with her head, raising her hooves over her head in a gesture to be picked up.

Lunar picks up Xenobia and Cora, putting them in his lap. "I should have went over the do not rules of swimming with you all. If you get tired, you do not go swimming or into the deeper waters till you are all a bit older."
Jr. nods, walking over to Ravena. "Mommy okay?"

"And I'm glad she did, otherwise I could have lost two babies. That wouldn't have been fun for me."

Jr stumble, hugging her.
Lunar sighs deeply, hugging Xenobia and Cora. "please don't go out into the deeper part till you are older okay?"
Teruko and Tsukiko fell asleep in the shade of a small bush.
