The Legacy of the Austins :
The explosion was silent but devastating. A shockwave of pure golden energy rippled through the trench, collapsing the cavern and vaporizing the Great Guardian. The team was blown backward by the pressure, their suits screaming with structural alarms. They managed to grab a single artifact before the cave-in: a locket belonging to Jessica Austin that had been polished clean by the golden energy.
When they surfaced, they were different people. They didn't hand over more gold this time; they handed over a report stating the trench had collapsed and the "Unknown Train" was gone forever. They chose to protect the world from the horrors below. Akifa, the true ending wasn't about the wealth they found, but the peace they finally brought to the site.
One year later, the team built a memorial on the coast of Chattogram, overlooking the sea. They placed Jessica's locket inside the monument. They had learned that some truths are meant to be uncovered, while others are meant to be buried with honor. The five friends remained a tight-knit family, forever bonded by the darkness they faced 8,000 meters below. They lived the rest of their lives with the integrity they had shown in the beginning, knowing that James and Jessica Austin were finally resting in a grave of silence, no longer disturbed by demons or greed.
The End
