Photorealistic fantasy scene showing a blood-stained ballista with a glowing arrow in the foreground, and a dragon breathing fire on houses in a forest at sunset.

Photorealistic, epic fantasy scene, cinematic, dramatic lighting. In the foreground, a large elven ballista made of pristine white wood with elegant carvings, now splattered with blood stains. It is loaded with a single glowing golden arrow. An open wooden crate next to it holds three more identical glowing arrows. The lifeless body of an elven archer lies on the ground nearby. In the background, a massive, split in two, ancient elven tree dominates the scene. Between the two colossal trunks, a huge, ferocious dragon is breathing a torrent of fire down upon the elven houses below. The central theme is the stark contrast between the blood-stained, elegant ballista and its power to defeat the dragon. The atmosphere is desperate and hopeful at the same time, sunset, smoke, fire glow. See more
