Never redesign faces, clothing, hairstyles, proportions or accessories. Inside the endless magical library of The Cottage of the Vanished Wizard, Mara, Linora, Biblior, Memoris, Klemmi, Ticko and Sir Fegalot carefully follow a tiny squirrel along a narrow wooden bridge suspended between colossal bookshelves that disappear into infinity. The silver thread emerging from Mara's crystal bottle gently follows the squirrel like a living ribbon of magical light. The atmosphere is warm, mysterious and welcoming, illuminated by golden lanterns and floating magical dust. Around them, numerous small squirrels—the Collectors of Unfinished Words—quietly hurry through the library. Some carry rolled parchment scrolls almost larger than themselves. Others transport glowing crystal bottles containing single shimmering words, loose manuscript pages, floating golden letters and tiny fragments of unfinished stories. Ancient books become increasingly magical. Some transparent books slowly turn their own pages. Whispering books quietly murmur forgotten stories. One enormous sleeping book gently breathes. Another politely sneezes as the group walks past. A tiny blue enchanted bookmark respectfully bows before happily jumping into another floating book. Sir Fegalot, wearing his elegant black top hat with expressive eyes ALWAYS positioned at the TOP of the wooden handle, stands firmly on the bridge while telling the others—with slightly embarrassed dignity—that he was once the flying broom of one of Arvandus' greatest witches but was officially reassigned to library duty after fainting during his very first flight because of his terrible fear of heights. Klemmi laughs kindly. Ticko listens with sympathy. Biblior smiles warmly. Memoris watches thoughtfully. Linora gently rests one hand on Sir Fegalot's polished wooden handle to comfort him. At the end of the bridge, the leading squirrel has stopped before an impossibly tiny wooden door built into the bottom of an enormous bookshelf. The little door is beautifully decorated with hundreds of carved letters from countless forgotten alphabets. The squirrel carefully places its rolled parchment beside the tiny door. The little door has just begun to open by itself. Warm golden light spills softly into the corridor. IMPORTANT: Elia has NOT stepped outside yet. Only the opening door and the golden light are visible. This is the exact moment immediately BEFORE Elia's first appearance. Bright magical fantasy atmosphere. Warm golden cinematic lighting. Painterly realism. Ultra detailed. Highly expressive faces. Natural anatomy. Beautiful composition. Award-winning fantasy illustration. Landscape format 4:3. Negative Prompt: No duplicate characters. No horror. No dark atmosphere. No cropped characters. No extra limbs. No redesigned characters. No eyes on Sir Fegalot's broom bristles. No missing top hat. Do NOT show Elia outside the door. Do NOT show Arvandus. Do NOT show the smartphone projection. No text. No speech bubbles. Include the tiny elegant white unicorn logo with the text "AI by Unicorngraphics" in the lower right corner.
Without another question, the little squirrel disappeared between the towering shelves, the rolled parchment balanced expertly across its tiny shoulders. For only a heartbeat the silver thread hesitated. Then it brightened once more and hurried after the little creature like a living ribbon of light. "It's leading us," Mara whispered. "No," the Keeper replied quietly as he stepped onto the narrow path between the endless bookshelves. "We're following one of the library's oldest caretakers." Ticko's tiny bells chimed softly. "The squirrel?" Biblior smiled. "The Collectors of Unfinished Words. Few visitors ever notice them. They gather every forgotten sentence, every abandoned name, every unfinished thought before they vanish forever." Klemmi looked around with growing curiosity. "There are more of them?" As though answering his question, tiny rustling sounds echoed through the endless shelves. Small shadows darted across ladders, behind books, beneath tables and through hidden passages. Every now and then another squirrel appeared carrying loose pages, glowing letters or tiny crystal bottles containing single shimmering words before vanishing once again into the immense library. "They've always been here," Memoris said with a gentle smile. "Most people simply never look low enough." Sir Fegalot adjusted his top hat proudly. "Finally, a profession that keeps all respectable creatures safely on the ground." Klemmi grinned. "You really are never going to admit you're afraid of flying, are you?" The enchanted broom became unusually quiet. For the first time since they had met him, he did not answer with a clever remark. Instead, he slowly lowered his handle toward the wooden floor. "Perhaps..." he said at last, "...it is time." Everyone stopped walking. Even the squirrels seemed to pause. Sir Fegalot sighed deeply. "I was not always a library broom." He looked almost embarrassed. "Long ago, I belonged to one of the greatest witches who ever studied beneath Arvandus. I was her flying broom." Klemmi blinked. "You?" "Indeed." Sir Fegalot straightened himself with as much dignity as possible. "I was considered exceptionally elegant." Ticko's bells jingled playfully. "So what happened?" The broom remained silent for several long seconds before answering. "The very first time she asked me to fly... I fainted." Nobody spoke. Sir Fegalot continued in a much quieter voice. "Not my rider. Me." Klemmi stared at him. "A broom can faint?" "Apparently." Biblior nodded sympathetically. "It caused quite a sensation." Sir Fegalot groaned. "I woke up hanging upside down from the highest tower in the academy." Even Mara struggled not to smile. "What happened after that?" "The Council of Practical Enchantments declared that a flying broom suffering from severe fear of heights was... unsuitable."
