Create:
1. A finished dark fantasy image prompt built around one readable story beat.
2. A character-focused version and an environment-focused version.
3. A foreground, middle-ground, and background plan that reveals the threat gradually.
4. A negative prompt for generic horned villains, gore, random magical effects, clutter, copied armor, text, and logos.
5. Notes on silhouette, scale, light direction, atmosphere, material age, and supernatural restraint.
6. An originality check that replaces recognizable franchise elements with user-supplied world rules.

Keep the scene emotionally dark without relying on graphic injury or a pile of unrelated fantasy clichés.
