Power was power

Orion had long since gotten a way to handle the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms from Arthas. The reason he had never used faith energy and transcendent power to wipe the curse clean was because he understood it might not necessarily be a bad thing for him. 

A few years ago, when he killed Lord Ariel's will projection, the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms had actually served as a kind of protection.

His instincts told him now wasn't the right moment to remove the curse. Besides, Violet hadn't returned yet, so Orion had left the curse alone. 

The belt—Curse of Sorrow—he'd just drawn from the survivor's chest was a pleasant surprise, since it could keep the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms in check. At least for a good while, Orion no longer needed to fret about it.

"Well, that's actually for the best," he thought. "I can focus on growing my strength."
