Death

The transformative power of ending and rebirth. The death god in black armor rides forward on horseback, with sleeping people beneath its hooves, symbolizing the end of old things and the arrival of a new beginning. The rising sun in the background implies that death is not the end but the prelude to a new life. The death god is the kindest friend. It says, "Accept all endings, for every end conceals a brand - new start."
