VERY short oneshot, I know. Still, Blizzard is stirring up excitement for the WWI, and Diablo is right in the thick of it. In a way, this was a way to let off steam.

Ice of Hell

Cold…so very cold…

Seven years…seven long years, cast in darkness. Without heat, without light, without life. Gone is the fire and brimstone, granted on that fateful day. The day that marked the end of Sanctuary's isolation. The day that was marked by the pact between the Lord of Hatred and the Angris Council.

The ice cracks though. A gateway to Heaven perhaps? Am I to be recalled to their side after the destruction of the Three? The end of terror, the omega of hatred, the epitaph of destruction? Have not Sanctuary and Hell been marked by the Eternal War? Is the third plane of existence ready to feel our wrath?

I do not know. But as the ice continues to crack, as the snow of eternity melts, I know but this…

…hell is no longer frozen over.
