A comic book- style scene set on an open, snow- covered, post- apocalyptic plain at night. An African female mage, seen from behind, knees bent with one foot in front of the other in a stance as if about to leap forward. Her medium- length black hair flows back, framing her rugged, focused face. Muscular arms emit fiery magic, flames rippling from her skin and casting an orange glow across the snowy landscape. She wears heavy, sleeveless armor with a furry collar, a loose red scarf trailing behind her, rugged pants tucked into combat boots, and an armored shirt under her jacket. Her raised clenched fists are held in front, her entire body braced with tense anticipation. Facing her on the snowy plain is a towering headless grotesque monster. Its torso is a tangle of tentacle appendages, crawling on the ground on spiderlike bony legs. A tentacle is curling outward in an eerie, probing gesture. Moonlight reflects off its slick, mutated skin, giving it an otherworldly glow. Snow swirls between them, catching the mage’s fiery light, contrasting against the cold, pale blues of the empty plain. The open landscape amplifies the feeling of isolation and impending conflict, as if everything holds still, awaiting their clash
