The exposure of the Order and the destruction of the crystal sent shockwaves through the academic world. Investigations were launched, and many members of the Order were arrested. The university faced intense scrutiny, and major reforms were implemented to prevent such darkness from taking root again.
Eliza and Adrian, hailed as heroes by some and questioned by others, tried to resume a semblance of normalcy. The ordeal had left deep scars, both physical and emotional. They leaned on each other for support, their bond stronger than ever.
One afternoon, they sat in the university's garden, reflecting on their journey.
"We did it," Adrian said quietly. "But it feels like we've lost so much."
Eliza nodded, her eyes distant. "The knowledge we've gained... it's a burden. But maybe now, we can use it for something good."
They decided to dedicate themselves to uncovering and preserving the true history of the university, ensuring that future generations would learn from the past rather than repeating its mistakes.
