“I suppose all we can do is bury it.” Celestia had finally admitted, though the idea they couldn’t destroy it and that it would continue to exist made her feel a little ill. Rally had grimly agreed, and so they had met at the school gardening grove in the dead of night to do so. Targeting a freshly dug area near some trees in order to make nothing seem out of place, they hoped the Crown of Aphrosia would never be found.

So ends the Crown of Aphrosia series, though if you wanted your own OC to be cursed/blessed with it, the meta data is as follows: – the crown will only function on the head of a male OC with an identity – the crown will only attract female canon characters (possible torture for a gay OC?) – it is an Equestrian artefact, so Equestrian species can wear it – the crown will only work on sentient species
