Transcript for mobile users (tried to crunch file size as much as possible, hope it loads faster and doesn't stay blurry. Comments?) -

PANEL 1 - Ira's gray wing streak starts fuming. [Narrator Auriel] - Our relations with the Nephalem, while rocky at times, have been fruitful. With Tyrael's aid we have garnered a new perspective, that is much needed in these changing times. [Narrator fem!Imperius] - Ever the optimist. And what about the demons? [Ira] - I'm not just the fickle light of a candle!

PANEL 2 - Ira zips through the newly arrived Sicarai thanks to her smoke. She ignites. [Patrolling Sicarai #1] - koff koff [Patrolling Sicarai #2] - HAH! [VFX] - KBWOOM [Ira] - I'm a RAGING FIRE!

PANEL 3 - Ira's frame is swallowed in flames, wing tendrils mottled black and blazing. She is ready to punch. [Ira] - EGO SUM IRA!!!

PANEL 4 - Brielfy back at the other realm the other Council is listening on. Malthael is taken away. [fem!Imperius] - Lock her up for now. [Auriel] - ...The Three and the rest of the Evils are free. It is not an ideal situation. But as I have said earlier, they are bound by the new Deal.

PANEL 5 - The window bends. The fighters inside are illuminated by the impact's blast. [VFX] - KPLUuNK [Teleportation VFX] - ZOOP ZOOP ZOOP [Narrator Auriel] - It would be dishonest of me if I didn't acknowledge their contribution... to our realm's new arrangements... They prevented Talus'ar's prophecy pertaining the Silvercity's fall. [Narrator fem!Itherael] - But that's... Had they never encroached the Diamond Gates?

PANEL 6 - Imperius is facing the window. [Narrator Auriel] - They did. And the Siege of the Crystal Arch still happened. The danger of our fall was still very real. And you Imperius, still suffered your grave wound at the hands of Diablo. [Imperius] - ?

[oyeedraw]

Do you think that Malthael would like if someone would hug him just because they appreciate him very much and well just to help him to feel nice?

;)

And that's a wrap!

I hope everyone enjoyed the comic! Let me know what you think, criticism is very much welcome!

So, I reckon this is the best page to talk about what prompted the creation of this comic in the first place. Simply put: Blizzard themselves. It is already clear that they have no idea what to do with the angels in general, but it is especially painfully clear that they have no idea what to do with Itherael specifically. They regularly forget about him, such as not putting him in Heroes of the Storm, or hell, even in a goddamn artbook (yeah, imagine that, every other archangel is in "The Art of Diablo III", it's ridiculous).

And this sucks, because Itherael, Archangel of Fate, could be so interesting, if they just give a little bit of thought to him! I'm sure I could come up with something great, and I'm just a no-name schmuck on the internet. Maybe you should start hiring based on MERIT again instead of dumbfuck checkboxes, huh, Blizzard?!

So ultimately, that gave me the idea for this story where Malthael struggles to adapt to their newest addition to the team. Hell, it might even come up in That First Spark or some other spinoff eventually. :3 Who knowwws...

So once again! Thank you for reading! See you next time here!

You don't even know yet just how much that little discovery would "complicate" things, Mal... Goddamn.

When the High Heavens were still young and the Eternal Conflict had yet to truly take place, there had been four Archangels - Malthael as Wisdom, Auriel as Hope, Tyrael as Justice and the youngest, Imperius as Valor. All was in balance, and all was good. That is, until the Crystal Arch itself disrupts it all, by unexpectedly giving birth to a fifth.
