The Moon beamed down,on the dynamic duo of Ayaz and Fionn,who came from the snowy mountains to visit the Tree of life,Fionn was a bit disappointed that his mother Chuluun didn't want to come along, but it's for the best and it's for good reasons, Ayaz and Fionn soon arrived at the entrance to the tree of life, where they were greeted by the Night shift of the night pride "Halt who goes there?"Rani asked looking Ayaz,it was then she narrowed her eyes at Ayaz as she began to recognize him "Wait Ayaz is that you?"Rani asked with confusion making Surak, Baliyo and Nirmala look at her in confusion.

"Hello queen Rani."Ayaz said politely "Wait you know this guy."Baliyo asked making Rani cast him an annoyed glance "Yes I told you about him,this is Ayaz he's Chuluun's mate and this is Fionn he's Chuluun's son."Rani said as the three lions looked between the snow leopards "What brings you here?"Surak asked remaining ever vigilant "Well we wanted to visit the tree of life and see how beautiful it is,queen Rani said it was ok."Ayaz said with a little smile causing Rani to nodd Baliyo gave Ayaz and Fionn a bit of a suspicious expression before turning to his sister "Uh sis a quick word?"

Rani and Baliyo walked over a few feet away "Um are you sure about this,they are her mate and son?"Baliyo asked "They are nothing like Chuluun, Ayaz was able to get her to supposedly change her ways and Fionn is just an innocent cub who doesn't know what his mother did,we shouldn't condemn them for her crimes."Rani said and Baliyo began to agree on that,it wouldn't be right "You're right sis but I don't know if the other animals will agree with you." Baliyo said glancing back at Ayaz and Fionn who were talking to Surak and Nirmala.

"That is why we aren't going to tell them their relationship to Chuluun, we are going to keep the animal encounters to a minimum and if anyone asks we'll lie."Rani explained making Baliyo nod and then she and him went back to the group "Ayaz and Fionn allow us to welcome you both to the tree of life, although we can't give you the tour right now mostly because we're currently on duty and it's night time it's beauty should be seen in the sunlight which is why we'll be touring in the morning and you'll be seeing Kion and the other night pride,so allow me to show you your temporary sleeping spot." Rani said as she led the way with Ayaz and Fionn following with the others following too.

The Next Morning

The sun shined brightly over the tree of life as Bunga, Beshte,Fuli,Ono, and Anga waited by a patch of grass along with Surak, Nirmala and Baliyo who began to explain the plan of the day, "Ok so guys listen up, last night we had a couple of visitors arrive, they were Ayaz and Fionn I'm sure you remember Rani spoke about them as being closely tied with Chuluun one of the Invaders of the tree of life."Surak said firmly "Wait they're here?"Fuli asked with a little hint of concern "Yes Rani had said that neither Ayaz and Fionn were like Chuluun, and after talking with them ourselves we believe her."

"It could be an act."Bunga said with suspicion "I don't think so Bunga,Ayaz seems genuinely a good person and Fionn doesn't know what his mother did to us, they're both innocent, they shouldn't be blamed for what Chuluun did,it wouldn't be fair."Baliyo said and the rest of them agreed but they were still suspicious of them.

"Kion and Rani are going to give them a little tour of the tree of Life, they are going to try and keep the animal encounters to a minimum and if anyone asks we lie, understand?"Surak asked firmly looking directly at Bunga who nodded. just then they spotted Kion and Rani along with Ayaz and Fionn.

"Everyone this is Ayaz Chuluun's mate and Fionn Chuluun's son."Rani said as Ayaz and Fionn smiled at them "Hello."Fionn greeted "He is cute as a snowball."Fuli said with a little smile"Yep."Anga responded then Bunga approached Ayaz "hello I'm Bunga,Chuluun probably told you all about me,I farted in her face."Bunga said proudly "Bunga!"everyone exclaimed horrified that he would mention that to them.

"Ignore him,he says what's on his mind,I'm Fuli and that is the rest of the night pride, Beshte, Ono and Anga,we knew Chuluun too." Fuli said introducing the rest of the pride.

"Did you guys fart in Chuluun's face too?"Ayaz asked in a monotonous way with a deadpan expression making Bunga laugh "I like this guy, but seriously I must know: why did you fall in love with Chuluun, were there no other Snow leopards?"Bunga asked "Bunga."Fuli hissed getting annoyed by his rudeness.

"Ok are you ready?"Kion asked as he and Rani led Ayaz and Fionn away and then began the tour.

1 Hour Later

Rani and Kion gave Ayaz and Fionn the whole tour of the tree of life and sang Welcome to the tree of life song to them which they enjoyed, however they weren't able to avoid animal interaction like they had planned as a few animals approached and said hello to them.

Ayaz was asked if he was a single father which unfortunately Ayaz replied no, and stated he had a mate that didn't want to come,but he didn't mention it was Chuluun keeping that dark secret safe.

Kion and Rani stood in front of Ayaz and Fionn who very enjoyed it "This place is beautiful and everyone is so nice, it's hard to believe Mom had a bad time here."Fionn said with everyone looking around and shuffled uncomfortably "Yeah...hard to believe."Kion muttered "Well we had a wonderful time here,and we absolutely love the scenery of the Tree of Life."Ayaz said happily.

"Thank you we enjoyed having you two here,Safe journey home."Kion said as Ayaz and Fionn then proceeded to leave the tree of life with Kion and Rani watching them leave with smiles.
