One century ago, in the great jungle of Rodan, there was a very small village. The people who lived there were a peaceful sort, and they took great care to preserve the vast jungle of Rodan.
However, this peace was not to last, one day, a scout reported that a large army was marching to the jungle. It appeared as though all was lost, but there was hope left, The ritual of the Bakuleman. The villagers decided to gather the objects necessary for the ritual, and perform it as soon as possible in order to summon the guardian of the Rodan jungle.
Many days passed, and one by one, the objects were gathered, the objects being three beautiful swords, and one specimen each of Nightshade, Jequirity, and Oleander. each plant was harvested for the deadly poison they held within, and then, each poison was applied to a different sword, at which time the blades were placed in front of a great wooden carving of the guardian himself.
The ritual required that each blade was to be used for a sacrifice, so three criminals were brought forth, and one by one, their lives were given to the Bakuleman. When the last man fell, a loud roar was heard, and the carving began to change, wood melt into scales, limbs began to move, the ritual had worked, the village was saved, the people watched in awe as their savior stepped down from the pedestal it had been on, picked up the swords, and disappeared.
