I paddled and flailed around in the blue, salty water. Lions, even celestial ones cannot swim well. And because I am a celestial lion, I belong to the sky and not the water. But a dare is a dare. And since my heavenly pride will be injured if I don't perfom the dare of swimming 9 meters non-stop, I tried my best to hold out. It's been 4 meters, and my lungs feel pressured. My mane only drags me down into the water. By now, I cannot feel the sand beneath my paws and that only adds to the panic. I gave up on swimming any further and focused on keeping my head above the waves. I gasp and struggle for air. My muscles felt heavy and spent. I sink up to my whiskers.

Suddenly, someone or something grabs my tail. In my alarm, I flashed back and forth between human and lion form. "Ack!" I choked as I went under. My vision goes dark and the last thing I heard before blacking out was an alarmed, "Oh my!" the sound of the waves accompanied me into my dreams.
