• Finally we arrived to The Palace of ‘Freaks’. This time nothing superstitious happened. After a few minutes of growls of natural foxes, and glaring eyes along the trail, we arrived at a huge, wooden door with some amazing designs. I stopped, admiring the designs. Everything was abstract! There had to be over a million beautiful designs on this door. Akio stopped a second later when I stopped. He was smiling I guess something he saw something on my face that made him smile. Our guide lady grinned and looked down. I heard a little giggle from her. Then she opened the door and went inside. I was trying to memorize each detail.
    "What are you doing?" Akio asked me.
    "Trying to memorize each detail," I answered.
    "Good luck. Amazing isn't it?" He said.
    "Yie," I said. I figured out the yie meant yes.
    "Wait," I said. "Does yie mean yes?" He nodded.
    "Ok, just making sure." I said. "By-the-way what language is that?"
    "Its called 'FoxCa,' " he answered.
    "Oh, that kinda makes sense." I said. The lady with the collar AKA our guide from the gate, she peeked her head out and nodded at Akio. Akio grabbed my arm and we started to walk through the door of designs. Everything smelled like pine and maple, and lots of people everywhere. I could hear them all over the place. I was more calm than I was in the woods, but I still held on to Akio. I just kept praying that some of the people here were more like Bachiko.
    "So am I," Akio said. We went past a few rooms, no one was in the hallway but there were people in some of the rooms. One room sounded like it had a baby cat in it. We walked to a wall. The lady started climbing it.
    "Uhh...You have to climb this wall to go to the next level." Akio explained. "Put your claws through the wall and start climbing. Don't worry, you'll make it, no doubt." Akio said. I nodded. I hoped that he was right. My claws went threw the wood like better. I put my other hand above my head and started climbing. I felt like I was rock climbing in gym. I was at the top in about 15 seconds. There was a space between the wall and the floor. I was sitting on the floor with my feet hanging down. I waited a few seconds to get up. When I turned my head to the wall Akio was already up. The lady was waiting impatiently. We waited started walking again. She led us to the 5th door. There was a long bench on the side of the door. The lady knocked on the door 4xs and headed toward the wall, and climbed back down. Akio and I sat down on the bench waiting for the Royals to call us in.
