Jack slashed the stem of another pumpkin, harvesting pumpkins was boring, but it was always worth the pumpkin pie that Jenna made after a boss fight.

As he cut another pumpkin from it's stem he noticed something odd, a glowing pumpkin seed embedded in the dirt beside the pumpkin!

He picked it up, and looked at it from every angle, expecting something to happen...

Nothing.

He shrugged and shoved the seed in his pocket, not really thinking much of it, because lots of things glowed in Terraria, but what he didn't know was that others would die for it...

Down in the underworld castle, Master Scarlet sat on her throne, sharpening her claws, when suddenly the doors at the end of the throne room flew open.

"Azuki, lord of corruption approaches master!" Her scribe announced as Azuki stepped into the throne room, rapping his deep black rune cloak around himself.

Azuki was like a normal human except the fact that he could turn even the most noble man into a corrupt dark lord with a snap of his fingers.

"What is it?" Scarlet hissed, "I've just lost one of my best warriors to a human! I'm not in the mood for black market salesman!"

Azuki remained calm, "I am sorry my mistress, but I think you nights like this deal... On a err... "Special" item." He exclaimed.

"Grrr... Alright what is it?" Scarlet huffed. Azuki pulled a piece of parchment out of his cloak,
"The magic pumpkin seed." Scarlet let out a spurt of fire in annoyance.

"So you mean to tell me that you came all this way just to offer me a pitiful over world seed???" She roared.
"Ah, but this is the good part," Azuki said, pulling out a quill from his cloak, "there is a prophecy involved."

Scarlet perked up, "like the death and destruction kind?" She asked, intrigued where this was going, "Tell me."

Azuki smiled, "alright, the prophecy states that whoever wields it can summon a weapon of indescribable power." He read from the parchment.

"Do you know what this weapon is?" Scarlet asked.
"No, sadly it doesn't say, but if you want to find out, it's only a small fee of full meteorite armour so I can finally fulfil my life long dream of going to space."

Scarlet pondered on this, "deal." She agreed. Azuki gave her the parchment, and she signed it. Scarlet then called for her servants to fetch the meteorite armour, and when they gave it to her she gave it to Azuki.

Azuki's eyes lit up in excitement, and he slipped on the armour quicker than a bone serpent eating an imp.

"Now, give me this seed." Scarlet hissed. From behind his visor Azuki started to sweat, "I-I will..." He stuttered.
"Yesss?"
"...as soon as I have it."
Scarlet cringed, "you don't have it?!"
"Err... No but I know where it is!" Azuki said nervously.
"WELL THAN GO GET IT!!!!" Scarlet screamed, and with that Azuki summoned and mounted a corrupter then flew out the door.
