**Prompt Title:** The Leviathan’s Passage
**(Scene Overview)** An epic wide tracking shot shows a young Merfolk Sentinel watching in awe as a colossal, city-bearing leviathan glides past the outer spires of the underwater kingdom of Lumina, an event of immense spiritual significance.
**(Primary Subject)** The focus is a young **Merfolk Sentinel**. He has **scales shimmering in shades of deep cobalt and silver**, with **long, white hair that flows like seafoam in the current**. He is clad in **lightweight, articulated armor made from polished abalone shell and dark coral**. He firmly grips a **trident crafted from petrified wood, its three prongs tipped with glowing, energized pearls**. His expression is one of **youthful awe and profound reverence**, his eyes wide as he witnesses the ancient spectacle.
**(Setting & Environment)** The scene is set on a high watchtower on the edge of the abyssal city of **Lumina**. The city’s architecture is **organic and grown**, featuring **impossibly tall, spiraling towers of living, bioluminescent coral that pulse with soft, cyan light**. In the background, **gardens of color-shifting sea anemones** and **forests of giant, ribbon-like kelp sway rhythmically**. The deep ocean is not empty; **small, lantern-jawed fish** scatter as the leviathan approaches. The main environmental element is the **colossal, ancient leviathan**, a creature the size of a mountain, its back encrusted with **ancient, barnacle-covered ruins and glowing crystals**, suggesting it is a living, mobile ecosystem.
**(Action & Narrative)** The Sentinel stands perfectly still on the precipice of the coral tower, his sole action being the slow, almost imperceptible turn of his head as he **tracks the leviathan’s majestic passage**. The leviathan itself is moving with **unfathomable, slow grace**, its massive fins creating gentle, powerful currents that cause the surrounding kelp forests to bow in unison. A few smaller, manta-ray-like creatures fly in formation alongside the great beast.
**(Cinematography & Visual Style)**
* **Camera Shot & Angle:** A **majestic, ultra-wide tracking shot** positioned at a **slightly low angle** to emphasize the scale of both the city spire and the passing leviathan.
* **Camera Movement:** The camera **slowly and smoothly tracks parallel** to the leviathan, keeping the Sentinel in the foreground third of the frame, gradually revealing more of the leviathan’s immense body and the cityscape beyond.
* **Artistic Style:** **Hyperrealistic cinematic fantasy**, heavily inspired by the visual language of James Cameron’s *Avatar* and the grand scale of *Dune*.
* **Color Palette:** Dominated by **deep, abyssal sapphire blues and velvety blacks**, punctuated by the **vibrant bioluminescent cyan, magenta, and gold** of the city and the leviathan’s crystals.
* **Lighting:** The primary light is **ethereal and volumetric**, with powerful **god rays** seemingly emanating from the leviathan’s crystalline growths. The city itself casts a soft, ambient glow, creating beautiful highlights on the Sentinel’s pearlescent armor.
**(Atmosphere & Mood)** The scene evokes a powerful sense of **awe-inspiring grandeur, ancient majesty, and profound peace**. It should feel spiritual and momentous.
**(Technical Qualifiers)** cinematic, 8K, ultra-detailed, photorealistic, high-fidelity, volumetric lighting, epic scale, narrative storytelling, professional color grading, deep focus, subsurface scattering on the Sentinel’s skin.
**(Negative Prompt)** Avoid murky or cloudy water, blurry, distorted figures, cartoonish, flat lighting, static image, low-resolution, jerky or unnatural movement.
