"psst, Rani, time to get up." Kion said
Rani opens her eyes and stretches, "Good morning sleepy head." she said
"You're the one who is the sleepy head, not me." Kion said
"I'm guessing you had a good night sleep." Rani said
"Of course I did." Kion said
Fuli runs in the tree, "Kion, aren't you joining with us on patrol?" Fuli asked
"Oh, I'm late, sorry I'll be right there." Kion said
"Well I better go check up with Nirmala." Rani gets up and walks out of the tree, Kion follows to go to Fuli,
"Morning everyone, sorry I'm late." Kion said
"Rough night?" Beshte asked
"Not really, had a good night." Kion said
"Kion, where should we patrol first?" Fuli asked
"I say we patrol as usual." Kion said
Amala runs up, "Mom, I'm coming with you." she said
Fuli looks at Kion, "Do you think it's safe to bring her here even though we have an enemy that has returned." Fuli said
"It's fine Fuli, even your cubs can take him down, she can come with us." Kion said
"who's the enemy?" Amala asked
"THat squirrel you caught yesterday." Fuli said
"Oh yeah, I remember him." Amala said
"Alright, let's go everyone, got to make sure everything is running smoothly." Kion said

To Nemesis

Nemesis has walked out of the cave he was sleeping in, Shupavu is leading him somewhere, the trip takes about ten minutes, Shupavu has lead him to Ezekiel's hideout, "This place is familiar, my father and someone who lives here made a deal, honestly, my father should have killed him right from the spot." Nemesis said
"Well he is dead anyway, so he won't be a problem." Florian said
"Come on, in here you two, something about the orbs are in here." Shupavu said
Nemesis and Florian follow Shupavu into the hideout, Shupau goes to the paintings, "Right over here." she said
Nemesis walks up and moves things out of the way, it reveals the powers of the orbs, "So another orb, the white is on his staff." Nemesis said
"Not just that one, a green one too, but that one has severely limited information." Shupavu said
"I'm not interested in that one, this is the one I'm interested in, apparently Ezekiel has created this orb to be a counter to the dark red one." Nemesis said
"Um Nemesis, the red one apparently has some interesting things too." Florian said
Nemesis walks up to Florian, "What is it?" Nemesis asked
Florian moves thing out of the way to reveal the painting, it about the orb of darkness and the solar eclipse, Nemesis looks at the figures out what it says, "So the dark red orb can apparently resurrect evil lions of the past during a solar eclipse when the sun is at the highest point, quickly, we need to find where the sun is going to be at its highest point when this event happens." Nemesis said
Nemesis, Florian and Shupavu continue to look for more paintings, Nemesis sees a glimpse of what he's looking for, he walks up and moves more thing out of the way, "You two, come up here, you need to see this." Nemesis said
Shupavu and Florian walks up, they look at the paintings, wait a minutes, I think I know this place, it's the savannah plains (Max's pride)." Florian said
"That's where we will go, which means we can resurrect Scar, bring him back again." Nemesis said
"I like how you think." Shupavu said
"But how are you supposed to get the orb of darkness?" Florian asked
"Have you been paying attention, the white orb is a counter to the red orb, we just need to steal it to get the red orb." Shupavu said
"I think that white orb is at the Tree of Life." Florian said
"Then we'll sneak in, steal the orb and than I'll use it against my father and make him give up his orb." Nemesis said
Nemesis walks to the paintings of the orbs, he looks at the orb of mystery, there is more power to it than Ezekiel has told everyone, "Hey Nemesis, I snuck in the Tree of Life, but after a week, they found me and kicked me out, how do you expect to sneak in and not be caught?" Florian asked
"I have my ways, now come, we need to get the white orb." Nemesis said

To the Tree of Life

Kion and his guard is have way done with their patrol, everything is running smoothly, they are also keeping an eye out for Florian, a few minutes later, Rani runs up to Kion and stops right in front of him, she starts shyly turning her paw on the ground,
"Oh, we'll leave you two alone." Fuli said as took the rest of the guard with her,
"Rani, what is it?" Kion asked
"Well, remember when I checked up with Nirmala?" Rani asked
"Yeah, I remember that, are you sick?" Kion asked
"No, keep guessing." Rani said
Kion thinks than he figures it out, his eyes opened wide as he gasps, "Are you" Kion tries to spit out the last word but just stutters the beginning of it,
Rani smiles, "Keep going." she ordered
Kion takes a deep breath, "Are you pregnant?" he asked
Rani pounces on Kion, "Yes Kion, and your going to be a father." Rani said
Kion starts shaking with excitement and fear, "Are you joking or are you serious?" he asked
"Of course I'm serious, why would I joke about that?" Rani asked
Kion licks Rani in the cheek, "I don't know, I know you like joking around." he said
Rani runs her paw down Kion's face, "I will never joke about that." she said
"I still don't trust you." Kion said
"Trust me Kion, I will never." Rani said
Kion gets up, I'll be keeping my eye on you." he backs up smiling almost hitting a tree than truns around and runs to the guard,
"Hey next time watch for that tree." Rani jokes
