Prompt:
Close-up of a high priestess standing in the midst of ruins by the sea, the wind howling as stormy waves crash violently against the rocks. Her grey-white hair, streaked with dark blackened tones, is wild, framing a weathered, aged face. The half-exposed side of her face shows deep wrinkles and sunken eyes, marked by years of wisdom and trials. A dark metallic mask covers the other half, crafted from iron and tarnished brass, engraved with ancient symbols and runes, adding an eerie, almost otherworldly presence to her face. Atop her head, a delicate crown composed of darkened peacock feathers, twisted branches, and frosted gemstones rests, casting a faint gleam that cuts through the dark atmosphere. Her neck is adorned with a heavy, blackened steel collar, inlaid with dull red gemstones, their faded glow matching the somber mood of the scene. The priestess wears a dark, worn velvet gown, its fabric heavy with age, draping over her form in sharp folds. The gown is reinforced with tarnished metal plates along her chest and shoulders, leather straps holding them together with an almost ritualistic precision. In her hands, she holds a white quartz crystal, which glows faintly, its radiance in stark contrast to the dark, storm-laden world around her. Her presence is commanding, yet she exudes an aura of sadness and strength, a figure of both protection and mourning in the face of the relentless storm and decay.
