I kept my hope just like i'd hoped tpthen sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
As if he hadn't just kicked Rhae's shin to the point of Total Destruction, their brother Sviko comes skittering out of the grotto, all legs and head and no anything else. Giggling at his brother's antics, Rhaegor playfully half-rears and bites at the other's ear again, barely understanding what he says because in the end, it's definitely not no or go back to bed, and therefore, Not Worth Listening To.
That is, until the palomino shoots down the mountainside like a flash of lightning.
"Hey!"
His screechy little boy voice is the last thing their mother hears as they grin at each other in the depths of the grotto, laughing nearly to the point of crying at the antics of their youngest three; it'll be nice to have the cave to themselves for a while, and anyway, kids would be kids.
Outside, the triplets are already halfway down the mountain. Rhae is right on Will's tail as they zoom down like reckless baby-demons, laughing and whooping and all bumping each other as they race. When she cuts left, and Rhae sees Sviko cut right, his attention is pulled in two directions and before he can --
CRASH!
As if in slow motion, the colt is flipped a full three-sixty around his head in the most graceful front flip ever performed, having been tripped by a low-standing bush the size of a small pond that he'd not seen in the obscurity. Landing in the softly vegetated plant with a cackling laugh and splayed wings, it takes the colt a fair bit of time trying to extricate himself AND all his limbs - he had two more to account for than the other! - until at last he leaps from the accursed plant, wings outstretched.
By this point, he can see that his siblings are in the final push for home, having reached flat ground with only some meadow and then the beach before them. Thrilled and hoping to still make it there without looking like a TOTAL loser, Rhae pins his wings at the elbow and uses the small amount of extension left to dive towards their destination point, using tiny shifts in his body weight and feathers to navigate between the ever- bigger trees the closer to ground level he gets.
Realizing he will not be able to pull up in time, Rhae screeches a warning to Will and Koko - who have already made it to the lake - before plummeting head first into a relatively deep part of the lake, which is luckily quite close to the shore. After a moment spent looking around in the blackness of underwater, Rhae unfurls his wings and gives a mighty push. As such, the princeling surfaces very quickly, using large strokes to bring him to the shore in quite a fast way.
"That was crazy!!" He sputtered, absolutely sopping, wings looking so bedraggled that an observer might worry that he'd ever fly again, the foolish thing. "Wow!" As the adrenaline still pumped through his veins, he totally forgot about his plan to beam the lake; instead, he dragged himself to higher ground and then flopped into the sand, head up staring at the stars in total breathlessness and contentedness.
