Alex Bellows : We supposed to be cutting wood or something, 'cause I could swear these are trees we're passing?
Mosaku : Of course these are trees, boy - ordinary trees which yield ordinary wood - but we're searching for something out of the ordinary. When we travel across the river, we find trees like no other - richer grains, and the color is deep red. The people call them "The Blood Trees." Ah, don't tell me you're not thinking of building a chest for your ladylove.
Alex Bellows : I don't know if I have a ladylove.
Mosaku : Maybe it's because you haven't built a chest for her yet.

Mosaku : The Yuki-Onna is the scourge of the Blood Forest. She's an ice demon, a creature of cold - floats through the trees like a... a wraith, stalking travelers, hungry for their warmth and their blood; then, with a terrifying shriek, she swoops to kill, freezing her prey with fear, then... then... drinking her fill.
Alex Bellows : Wicked. I love a good ghost story.
Mosaku : Who said this was a story? Eh, they say that the Yuki-Onna spills the blood of her victims. The roots of the trees drink it up, and that's why the wood is red. And that's why you can hear the trees moan in the wind.
