'Less is sometimes more' I like that summary line. It's deep.

Now for the writing, I like the style. It is like storytelling. :) There's some lovely descriptions as well. I especially like this part 'spells of dark clouded the sky as the fire rained from above lasted through the night, neither tiring / dawn did not come' It's lively.

I also like how you ended this piece. It has a strong message.

Write on!
