But one day, everything changes when a magic star appears. He meets his guide and protector, the Queen of the stars who sends him to the enchanted kingdom of Shayma Bayma.
In this kingdom, all the animals live together in harmony. At first, Babayan finds it difficult to adapt to this world but later he meets many fascinating creatures and makes many friends. However, the beast inside him is still alive and thinks about the wild islands. What happens next? Is he able to overcome this beastly behaviour?
