Prompt (original, unmodified)
A mysterious dark fantasy sorceress in an elegant black battle dress, pale face calm and terrifying, long silver hair moving in unnatural wind, glowing violet eyes, hands covered with ancient necromantic runes Stands in the middle of a rain-soaked Paris avenue and slowly raises both arms, cracking the asphalt as hundreds of undead soldiers claw their way out of the ground, rising between cars, cafés and metro entrances, forming a terrifying zombie army around her Paris at dusk near Haussmann buildings, wet cobblestones, flickering streetlights, abandoned cars, smoke drifting around the Eiffel Tower silhouette in the distance Starts with slow cinematic push-in through empty Paris streets, subtle handheld tension, sudden ground-level tracking as fingers burst through cracked asphalt, orbit shot around the sorceress while zombies rise in layers behind her, dramatic crane rise revealing the undead army filling the entire avenue, cold blue moonlight mixed with warm Paris street lamps, volumetric fog, realistic rain, mud, dust and supernatural purple energy, ending with the sorceress standing perfectly still at the center of thousands of zombies as they kneel before her, camera pulling back above Paris to reveal the city falling under her command.
