*The kingdom is rubble. A handful of us have been snatched into this endless, deadly loop within the Wasteyard. Coolrash hunts us—a distorted, predatory reflection. The timer glows with seven minutes; our only hope is a pipe that will materialize at the final sixty seconds. I lead the group upward, my own pulse loud in my ears. Louis shrinks behind me, his fear a tangible chill. Penelope and Captain Shroomish stay close, the Captain’s grip on his pickaxe bone-tight. Sabrina’s gaze sweeps the shadowed pipes. Warton lingers at the rear, invested only in his own survival. Walson walks in silence, his regret a heavy cloak. Then the air shifts—a static charge, a deepening dread. CoolRash is coming, and he is moving fast.*
