Lenny turned to Vine, "So what is the difference between blessings and curses?"
"Well, it is not so hard to spot the difference. Blessings are controlled, and curses are not. Blessings are also only ever given by the Royal Family or those winged fellows."
"Winged Fellows!? You mean angels?"
"Yes, them! Ever since the Apocalypse of the Third Earth, their existence in the middle plane has been like finding salt in snow." Vine explained, "However, that's another topic for another time..." She cleared her throat, getting back on track with her explanation, "As I was saying, Curses! These are uncontrollable works of nature gone wrong. This happens when certain cosmic triggers simultaneously happen to fall in line with one another to give birth to abominations.
Nevertheless, don't be deceived into thinking that the instance I gave is the only occasion on which curses are formed."
