Chapter 15: The Kitchen Garden Escape

The escape begins not with a roar, but with a whisper through the castle’s “Kitchen Gardens.” These gardens are a labyrinth of oversized, alien vegetation used to feed the castle’s inhabitants. With Rollandario’s help, Myrine navigates the gardens and enters the dense, glowing foliage of the neighbouring woods. They use the plants’ own Bewonium signatures to mask their heat and energy traces from the Betwonium guards. The stakes are impossibly high; they are not just running for the exit, but Myrine is carrying the valuable Infinity Charm. Every snapping twig and rustling leaf feels like a thunderclap in the oppressive silence of the woods, as they race against time toward the castle’s perimeter wall.
