Chris and Kion, even though they just met, seemed to be hitting it off nicely as they had already became friends in an instant. While Rani and Kiara still looked a little wary of these human creatures, they decided not to take them too big of threats (for now).

For the time being, they, along with Kion followed these humans back to their own campsite.

Persephone, Tara, Joel, and Christopher were all still surprised at how they are meeting taking lions for the first time. They never thought they would meet talking animals before. Granted, it was a little weird to them, but these lions seemed friendly if they can talk.

"Mind the firewood." said Joel

"Yeah, we built the campfire last night."

"Campfire?" said Rani

"Yeah, where we set up a fire to sit by and enjoy the warmth on a chilly night." Tara replied.

"These smells are so... unfamiliar to me." Kion began sniffing the air. "what do you think, Kiara?"

"I agree, Kion. These scents are ones I have smelled for the first time." she was sniffing after him.

"Have any people like us come here?" asked Persephone.

"Honestly... no." Rani said.

"We haven't had any records of humans coming here to the Pride Lands at all." Kion added. "I mean, what kind of animals are humans?"

"Technically," said Joel, "humans are primates.

"I thought it was something like that." said Kiara. "When we looked at your hands, they looked like the kind that gorillas have, but we don't see your feet because of those... coverings

"They're called shoes." said Tara. "We wear them in case we accidentally step on scorpions or anything sharp."

"Oooh, that's useful." said Kion. "Little foot protection."

"We're animals but we don't have tails." said Cody. "I wish I had a tail though."

"Although... our closest relatives in the animal kingdom are the chimpanzees." Persephone said. "and bonobos. "But, humans weren't always like what we are now."

"My wife's right." said Joel. "hundreds and thousands of years ago, we were small apes, but over a long time, we evolved period after period, and it went on until we became what we are now. Here, I'll show you the evolution of humans."

The tall human pulled out a picture from his pouch to reveal a small frame revealing the evolution of man over the course of history. Just looking at this picture was more than enough to make the three lions intrigued at what these kind of animals were like.

"He looks like a gorilla, dad." said Chris, pointed at the first phase of evolution. he looked at Kion, and he couldn't help but ask him: "So Kion, What is the Lion Force?"

"You mean Lion Guard?" said the cub. "We're protectors of the Pride Lands. Me and my friends are part of it to stop any bad or evil animals from doing bad things around here, and send them to the Outlands, which is southeast of where we are now."

"Ooh, like a superhero?" Cody asked

"What is a superhero?" asked Kiara.

"It wouldn't surprise me to hear that." said Tara. "But you've never seen human stuff before."

"You guys are new here." said Rani. "you can't blame us."

"Yeah. We know." said Joel.

"So what kind of bad guys do you fight?" Chris asked Kion

"many kinds of bad animals who break the Circle of Life and try to put it off-balance." Kion replied.

"Ah. we know about that." said Persephone. "what animals eat, and how they are supposed to eat to sustain the ecosystem and laws of nature."

The three lions were rather surprised to hear that. They never would have imagined a creature that looks so alien like these ones to know about the circle of life.

"Wow. Yeah, exactly." said Rani.

"So what brings you all here?" asked Chris

"A friend of ours, Zazu, told us about you guys being strange creatures not from this world, but I think he was being overly-dramatic.

"Yeah. Zazu is prone to squawk over nothing." Kiara scoffed.

"But what about you all? What brings you to the Pride Lands?"

"Well Kion," Joel began to explain, "me and my family came here to take a little vacation and take a look at the amazing wildlife and scenery around us. We needed a break from our home and we needed the vacation."

"And you're not here to cause trouble, are you?" asked Rani.

"No, of course not." said Tara. "we just came here to enjoy our time together as a family and enjoy this place."

"Well... ok. Be careful with the other animals around here." said the male cub. "they might think you are dangerous monsters."

"Oh, we're not monsters." said Persephone

"Yeah, I love animals." said Chris.

"That's good." the cub looked at the object and he asked: "so what kind of dome is that?"

"Oh that?" said the biggest human. "Tbat is a tent. A nice little place to sleep in and feel a little safer in the night in case something tries to eat you. That, and you won't feel so cold in the night from the wind."

"It can protect us from the rain if there is a storm." said Cody.

"You guys must be advanced in this stuff." Kiara remarked.

"Oh! if i remembered correctly, did I hear that you were a princess, Kiara?" asked Tara

"yes. But I will be queen of the place one day. I'm a little nervous, but I think i will make it."

"That makes sense." said Persephone. "lions are viewed as kings of the jungle to humans."

"You mean you worship lions?" asked Rani

"well... no. But we see how you represent bravery, courage, and wisdom." said Joel.

"Well, how would you like to meet mom and dad so that they don't have to worry?" Kion offered.

"I don't think that's the best idea." Kiara said

"We can clear it to them that they are friendly and not dangerous."
