A certain imp demon named Jaken was flying through a valley on his steed Ah-Un with a bunch of valuable treasures. At least to him, they were valuable. He was headed towards a village so that he would be able to talk about his treasures to the people and sell them. He wanted to make some good money off of them. By the time he got to the village it was a starry night.

The imp demon stopped at the village to let Ah-Un rest and began to set up his things.

"Welcome kind people, to the Western Lands. A land of mystery, of enchantment, and the most beautiful treasures that you have ever seen." The imp demon said with a smile. He gestures his hand to his treasure's and picks up a few plants and a pottery.

"Here are a few herbs that you can use to heal wounds or cure illnesses. This here pot comes with it so you can mix any of the herbs that will go great together." Then the imp brings out a box filled with charms.

"You can use the charms to ward off evil demons and evil curses." He takes a charm and places it on a serpent demon but it did nothing but make the serpent demon angry.

"See it works out well." Jaken said as he struggled to get the serpent off of him. The villagers started to walk away as he finally tossed the serpent aside. Jaken turned to see them walking away and panicked. He got in front of them with a nervous look but then a smile played across his face.

"I can tell that these are nothing new to you guys. If I were to have a beautiful rare item, would you listen?" The villagers stopped and turned to look at him with a sudden interest. Jaken reaches into his sleeve and pulls out a jewel that began to shine brightly.

"Why not consider this as your interest?" He asked the villagers.

"That's nothing but a piece of jewelry." One of the villagers said.

"That doesn't look like jewelry to me." Another villager said.

"It looks like some ordinary jewel." Another villager said. Jaken smiled.

"Ah, don't let it's appearance deceive you. This jewel contains more power than what you believe." Jaken began to say.

"Sure it does. You expect us to believe that?" Another villager said. They began to walk away but Jaken had other plans.

"This is no ordinary jewel!" Jaken explained. The jewel began to shine brightly. Everyone felt the power that was emanating from it.

"It once changed a course of a young half-demon's life. A half-demon, like this jewel, who appeared to be more than what he seemed." Jaken explained. The village people waited for what else the little imp demon was going to say. Jaken smiled and whispered.

"A diamond in the rough." He told them. Everyone's eyes grew wide.

"Would you like to hear the tale?" Everyone sat down with interest as they watched the little imp. The jewel began to shine as bright as the sun.

"It begins on a dark night. Where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose."
