The hellknights charge forward on their nightmare steeds, lances of bitter flames leveled. The ground erupts beneath them from Ras’ druidic power, and then heroes and devils collide in shattered Easthaven. Alalla, Reothadh, and Erevain meet one of the hellknights and drop both it and its fiendish mount to the charred dirt. Nearby, Keggruk and Halla pounce on the other, slaying the nightmare. The second hellknight succumbs to Maverick’s spell and writhes on the ground.
Meanwhile high in the air, Zariel’s sword flashes. Mirek falls apart in the air, sliced from shoulder to waist in a blow too fast for mortal eyes to follow. Hellish flames consume his pieces before they hit the ground.
The fallen angel looks at Zenithral, and the power of her gaze sets his mind and body on fire - but the pain quickly recedes as Saki draws it into herself. The aged, diminutive woman gasps as her clothes blacken, but she somehow remains on her feet (Saki uses Martyr's Empathy to take Zenithral's 31 fire damage). "I cannot destroy what no longer exists. But I can remove every reminder of the lies that once governed me!" She dives toward Ilmadia with supernatural speed and lays a corrupted hand on the warlock’s shoulder. Necrotic energy pours over Ilmadia in a wave, threatening to sicken her, blind her, deafen her, wipe her from the plane. But Myllandra’s pure hand is there as well, flooding Ilmadia with healing power and cleansing every taint Zariel tries to inflict.
With angels of light and fire on either side of her, Ilmadia speaks words that shock Zariel to her core. The Warlord of Avernus reels and looks as though she might falter, but then sets her feet and hardens her heart once more (Zariel uses a second Legendary Resistance to negate Ilmadia's words). She lets go of Ilmadia and slams a hand onto Myllandra’s hooded face. "Begone, Al-Dimeneira!" A shockwave of power blasts over the battlefield as devil tries to banish angel, but Myllandra merely pulls back her hood, revealing her full nature, and Zariel is forced to remove her smoking hand with a cry of pain.
The archdevil pulls back and stares at Zenithral and Ilmadia with wide, wild eyes. Her sword half-raises, but in the confusion wracking her it is apparent she is losing whatever sanity remained after her fall. If she cannot be convinced of her folly, what destruction might she bring to bear?
And still the light of the Scourge draws closer.
