Prompt:
A mystical bard, shrouded in a tattered, earth-toned cloak with intricate, moss-embroidered hem and worn, braided leather fastenings, sits atop a moss-covered stone outcropping, worn smooth by the whispers of the forest, surrounded by sentinel trees with gnarled, twisted branches. The primeval forest's misty veil swirls around, heavy with the whispers of ancient tales, as the bard's fingers, adorned with worn leather thimbles and a silver, Celtic-knotwork ring, dance upon the strings of a worn, ornate lute, its body etched with Norse runes and Celtic knotwork, and subtly illuminated by an ethereal, soft-glowing luminescence. The atmosphere is alive with the whispers of Old Norse, Old English, and forgotten tongues, as the bard's voice, a low, hypnotic chant, summons the essence of historical and mythical stories, echoing the haunting echoes of Loki's mischief and the mystical songs of the Celts, with the air thick with the scent of damp earth, moss, and the faint hint of wood smoke. Inspired by the moody, atmospheric works of Ash Thorp, the muted, earthy palette of Simon Stalenhag, and the mystical, dreamlike quality of Brian Froud, the scene unfolds like a haunting, otherworldly soundscape, with flickering, ethereal light dancing across the forest floor, as if the trees themselves were swaying to the bard's enchanted melody, casting dappled, emerald shadows on the mist-shrouded forest floor.
