Excellence Award in the 'Unleashed 2022' competition

I am the fire that rains on towns.
I bring the corpses to castle grounds.
I am the darkest of the coals,
For I am all of the black holes.
I am the blood that stains the sky.
If you see me, the end is nigh.
I am the murder, rage, and gore.
You know me well, for I am War.
