Prompt:
A lone, hooded ShadowBound Samurai stands at the edge of a crumbling, ancient Pagoda, set against a backdrop of inky, living darkness that appears to twist and writhe like a sentient entity. The samurai's face is shrouded in shadows wearing his yoroi or samurai amour in detailed illumination of its design, illuminated only by the faint, silver glow of moonlight that struggles to penetrate the abyssal gloom, casting an eerie, ghostly light on the surrounding environment. Their tattered, yoroi billows in the windless air, its frayed edges resembling the dark, feathery tendrils of a mourner's veil. The samurai's cursed blade glowing in ruby red, an ancient, twisted artifact forged in dark, forbidden rituals, is held at the ready, its dark, liquid-like metal seeming to absorb the faint light, as if feeding on the surrounding shadows. The sword's presence appears to be warping the air around it, creating a localized distortion that seems to ripple and undulate like the surface of a stagnant pool of water. In the background, a tattered, crimson banner bearing the emblem of the ShadowBound clan hangs limply, its faded, crimson hue seeming to bleed into the surrounding darkness, as if weighted down by the crushing weight of their eternal duty. The atmosphere is heavy with the scent of damp earth, decay, and the faint tang of malevolent energy, reminiscent of a long-abandoned tomb. Inspired by the dark, gothic sensibilities of Zdzisław Beksiński, the eerie, atmospheric lighting of H.R. Giger, and the intricate, detailed textures of Simon Stalenhag, with a hint of Ash Thorp's dark, cinematic flair.
