## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic dark fantasy portrait of {character_name} walking directly toward the camera through a vast gothic library in chaos. He wears an all-black modern occult outfit: long black leather trench coat, black shirt, slim black pants, black boots, layered silver necklaces, and a confident forward stride. His face should be intentionally soft-blurred or anonymized while the hair remains sharp, short, dark, and neatly styled. In his left hand he carries a glowing hourglass filled with blazing golden sand; the hourglass is partially wrapped in fire, with sparks and glittering sand streaming downward. The library has towering bookshelves on both sides, arched cathedral architecture, a large circular stained-glass rose window centered high in the background, and cold blue moonbeams cutting through smoky air from the window. Surround the scene with exactly 18 clearly visible floating books and pages: 6 open books, 5 closed books, and 7 loose parchment sheets, all suspended midair at different depths. Add roaring orange flames along both bookshelves, burning books at the edges, embers, ash, and golden sparks filling the air. The floor is glossy black stone, wet and mirror-like, reflecting the firelight and the figure’s silhouette. Use dramatic backlighting, strong orange-and-blue color contrast, volumetric smoke, shallow depth of field, ultra-detailed textures, high contrast, epic magical realism, photorealistic cinematic quality, vertical 3:4 composition. Avoid text, logos, watermarks, extra people, or cartoon styling.
