Prompt (original, unmodified)
A cinematic sequence of a young woman with dark hair and bangs in a flowing cream-colored silk halter dress standing on a traditional Venetian gondola in a sunlit canal, hands covering her ears in distress, a gondolier in striped shirt and hat poling behind her. She suddenly jumps into the green canal water creating a massive splash. Underwater shot of her gracefully diving deeper, dress flowing, bubbles rising around her silhouette in murky emerald water. Seamless transition to her falling through bright white clouds in a blue sky, arms outstretched, hair and dress billowing. She lands on the back of a massive dark red and blue dragon flying through misty skies, clinging to its scales. The scene shifts to her now dressed as a fierce adventurer in a brown leather outfit with a quiver of arrows on her back, riding the dragon over a dramatic sea battle with burning wooden ships and smoke. She draws a bow and fires an arrow that causes a huge fiery explosion. Cut back to her underwater again, then dramatically emerging from the canal surface gasping for air, wet dress clinging to her body, as the gondolier reaches down to help pull her back into the gondola. Photorealistic, high detail, dramatic lighting, epic fantasy mixed with realistic Venice setting, cinematic camera movements, 4K quality.
