> Head for the Palace of the Earth Spirits. We might wanna see if Satori has any info on the jewel that could be down here.
>You pass through the Ancient City, and make you way toward the Palace of the Earth Spirits. The wolf follows you, but he looks extremely nervous. Thankfully, seems smart enough not to mess with the few oni that you pass, and the oni don't seem to notice him at all. He does linger a bit around the food stands, but when he sees that you aren't stopping he hastens to catch up.
>You reach the Palace of the Earth Spirits. It is a large, imposing sort of manor that looks more like a fortress than any kind of home. The walls are made of stone and set with stained glass windows. Flat roofs give the the structure something of a boxy feel, and neatly hide any hints of architectural beauty. Moss covers the outer walls, add some much needed color and texture to an otherwise drab and dreary place. Snow stands upon the room as well, taking some of the edge away. The way to the door has been neatly shoveled. Obvious exits are West and North and South.
>There is a two-tailed black cat lurking near the door. It looks over at you idly, then screeches and leaps to its feet! The wolf takes off after it like a shot.
