This is the breadcrumb quest that kick-starts an exclusive quest chain for Warlocks to unlock some new demon pet customizations.

Note: You have up until completing Curses & Cultists to talk to Madam Shadow and repeatedly question her, which will result in her teleporting you into the Darkmoon Arena to fight [npc=204964].
Completing this optional encounter will reward you with [item=207294]. Just keep [spell=334275] active and chip it's health away with DoTs and instant cast spells while kiting it.
Twinkle will also be available at the Darkmoon Faire, so it's entirely optional during the quest chain.

Completing the final quest will reward you with [spell=417884], unlocking the four Fiendish Imp tints for Warlock's Imps.
The following week you will receive [item=206681] in your mail, starting A Lighter Shade of Fel.
Turning in the quest will reward you with [item=207101].

I'd entirely forgotten I picked up this quest a few weeks ago. Logged in today to go to the Faire to do the normal stuff and it throws me on a stagecoach. Had no idea what was going on, talks to the girl, ported in and killed the demon. Problem is, if you just enter the Faire by the normal means, it doesn't trigger the quest completion, you HAVE to mount it down in The Drag. You have to go back and do it from there...

For those wondering, clicking Yes to the warning message that "something bad is about to happen" will

Spoiler throw you into the arena with Twinkle. Hopefully, he'll be asleep. You can't escape, but there's a gnome on the left pillar who'll let you out if you talk to him.
