I would like to create a beautiful scene set alongside a northern Italian lake in the sunshine, with green water coloured by the reflection of lushious green hills, atop with a little snow. The scene should be reasonably realistic, but with two giant knight chess pieces emerging steadily from the water, with panache but still partial submergence, each with a rider, with both of them dressed in casual mermaid suit style clothing. One of these riders should be male with a very short beard and dark hair, and an otherwise Spanish or Portuguese complexion. The other rider must be female, a beautiful red-lipped elegant woman with tinges of blonde in otherwise light brown hair, and a more eastern European complexion. Together, they will have in tow, between the two horses, and pulled several metres behind with two ropes, a giant arrowword puzzle that must be three-dimensional and be floating on the water behind them but with distinguishable details on its top, and a small freeboard. This puzzle feature must take the form roughly like a crossword but with a square grid and small clues gives at the start of each line of the grid. Have the horses (remember, a creative abstraction of chess piece knights) facing roughly towards the camera, perhaps at a shallow angle from above. Perhaps add a watercolour effect to slightly blur the facial features of the riders so as to make it less obvious who they are. Make the horses a bit more evidently like knight chess pieces, and make the puzzle See more
