Prompt:
A mystical bard, shrouded in a tattered, earth-toned cloak with intricate, moss-embroidered hem, sits atop a moss-covered stone outcropping, worn smooth by the whispers of the forest. 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, dance upon the strings of a worn, ornate lute, its body etched with Norse runes and Celtic knotwork. 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. 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.
