  • Prompt: Beautiful warm fantasy library with towering ancient bookshelves and soft golden light. Mara, a young woman with long brown hair wearing practical explorer clothing, stands beside Linora, a young woman with long dark-blonde hair wearing an elegant green medieval fantasy dress. Linora holds an enchanted smartphone that projects a floating silver magical image into the air. The projection shows an old wooden writing desk with a black feather quill, a small crystal ink bottle and the glowing image of an elderly wizard wearing a long dark blue robe decorated with tiny golden stars. The wizard's face is visible, kind and wise, with a long white beard. Nearby stands Elia, a quiet young girl with long dark hair and blue eyes, wearing a simple grey dress embroidered with tiny glowing golden letters, standing in the doorway of a very small wooden door built into the base of a giant bookshelf. A friendly squirrel carrying a rolled parchment stands near the doorway. Sir Fegelot stands beside Mara exactly like the supplied reference image: a slender enchanted broom with a friendly carved wooden face, normal expressive eyes above the face, a black top hat, thin wooden arms with small hands and natural broom bristles. A small living golden paperclip floats beside him as an independent magical companion. Ancient books with open pages, floating glowing letters, warm magical atmosphere, whimsical fantasy illustration, highly detailed painterly art, inspired by Jean-Baptiste Monge and Iris Compiet, cinematic lighting, 4:3 composition.
