Sailing to the west
The voyage was long and cold, and the travellers thought often, longingly, of the green glades and soft woodland shadows left behind, especially as chill salt spray lashed and icy winds cut to the bone.
At last, they sailed into a tranquil bay that soothed their weary hearts with balmy breezes fragrant with the scent of spring flowers, and looked with wonder upon the blossoming trees all bedecked in pink and white. It seemed they were home at last.
Then - a man beneath the trees, staring at them with wide terrified eyes, stumbling backwards, pointing, as he gasped, "Youkai!"
