Kent answered casually while his thoughts lingered over the locket. As Lucy invited him to the pet store, Kent agreed and marched towards Fire Kirin in a dazed state.
He kept those two mysterious items inside his bracelet for time being.

Blue Planet Lightening Forest...
In the heart of a dense mountain forest, where the ancient trees loomed tall and the air is thick with the scent of earth and moss, a middle-aged lady stood alone, clad in flowing white garments that fluttered around her like a protective shield.
Her eyes blazed with determination as she faced a mob of hundreds of beasts, their forms shifting between human and bestial shapes in a dizzying display of chaos.
The beasts circled her, their snarls and growls echoing through the forest, their eyes gleaming with malice. But the lady was undaunted, her stance unwavering as she prepared to face the onslaught.
As the first wave of attackers lunged towards her, she sprang into action, her movements fluid and precise. The ten rings around her fingers glowed with intricate carvings as she unleashed powerful spells that sent arcs of lightning and bursts of flame cascading through the air, striking down her foes with deadly accuracy.
But the beasts were cunning, their attacks relentless as they sought to overwhelm her with their sheer numbers. They changed their tactics, shifting between forms and launching coordinated assaults from all sides, driving her back against the gnarled roots of a towering oak.
Yet, her spells blazed like wildfire, illuminating the dark forest with their brilliant light, but still the beasts pressed on, their ferocity undiminished.
Just as it seemed she might be overwhelmed, a sudden flash of light caught her attention—the bracelet around her wrist is blinking urgently.
With a swift motion, the lady flicked her wrist, and in the next instant, a projection of a magic circle materialised before her, displaying the image of Kent\'s aunt on the magic circle.
"What is so urgent?" the mature lady asked, her voice cutting through the chaos of battle as she deflected a pouncing tiger with a swift counterattack.
"Sister, your son Kent has the Quinn family heirloom." She said breathlessly.
Shock flashed across Lady Clark\'s face as she absorbed the news, her mind racing with implications.
For a moment, Lady Clark\'s heart clenched with a mixture of disbelief and anger as she stared at her sister\'s face through the shimmering magic circle.
"Are you sure?" she questioned, her voice tightly controlled despite the turmoil within her at the mention of the Quinn family name.
Eila, Kent\'s aunt, met Lady Clark\'s gaze with unwavering certainty. "Yes, sister. It\'s definitely the Quinn family heirloom," she affirmed, her tone resolute.
But before they could delve further into the implications of this revelation, a mob of three beasts surged towards Lady Clark with bared teeth and snarling jaws. With a furious glare, she rose into the air, her white robes billowing around her as she chanted a powerful incantation.
"Naraka prakopa Shula!" she intoned, her voice ringing out with authority and command.
In the next instant, mana poured forth from the ten rings adorning her fingers, coalescing into a blazing spear of pure energy that hurtled towards the ground with unstoppable force. As the spear struck the earth, a shockwave rippled outward, engulfing the surrounding beasts in a blaze of searing light and claiming their lives in an instant.
The remaining beasts, shaken by the display of power, fled into the depths of the forest, their tails between their legs, as they retreated from the overwhelming might of Lady Clark.
Breathing heavily from the exertion of the battle, Lady Clark turned her attention back to the magic circle, her expression grave as she passed several urgent instructions to Eila regarding Kent\'s safety.
"I will try to gather Sun&Moon eclipse arrow spells from that place. Make sure that he didn\'t reveal that heirloom to anyone. I think my mother-in-law secretly brought the heirloom from the Quinn family.
In whichever case, Kent is the real owner of that heirloom." Lady Clark said, thinking of the past, where she passed Kent to her mother-in-law to raise in a secret place, away from Quinn family spies.
With a solemn nod of understanding, Eila vowed to carry out Lady Clark\'s wishes to the letter, knowing that the fate of their family—and indeed, the fate of the blue planet—rested on Kent\'s shoulders and the legacy of the Quinn family heirloom.

Thousands of miles away from Silver Leaf City, two Fire Kirin\'s landed on a mountaintop.
"Young master, you seem to be exhausted both physically and mentally. Why don\'t we take a break?" Fire Lotus, who came to trace Zambu\'s missing sister, said in a concerned tone.
Zambu, who is gasping for air due to intense travel, took a long time to reply. "I can\'t. The thought of my sister\'s suffering won\'t let me rest peacefully." Zambu replied while taking out the refreshing potions from his storage anklet.
Fire Lotus tried to console him, but Zambu insisted on continuing the journey. With a sigh, Fire Lotus took out a map and began calculating how much time they needed to reach Silver Leaf City.
"Young Master, with full speed, we can reach that place in 2 days. Also, there are several living places in our path. We must avoid any interaction with anyone from humans race." Fire Lotus suggested while closing down the large size cloth map.
"That\'s good." Zambu nodded with an understanding gaze. " But you don\'t need to worry about these puny humans. I bought several powerful attack inscriptions from treasury." Zambu replied with a proud smile.
"Young master, don\'t use them. According to our clan agreement with Wizard Association, we must not harm any human life." Fire Lotus said in a hurried tone.
But without listening her words, Zambu flew into the air. And, Fire Lotus soon followed him with a worried look.
