Art style: Dark Fantasy. Chaotic palace corridor with burning scrolls scattered on marble floors and panicked servants running. Quick-cut montage style showing Romans charging with raised shields, heavy gates slamming shut, and Potin whispering urgently to Faros in a shadowed alcove. Harsh torchlight and fire glow. Frantic desperate mood. Dominant palette of crimson red, gold, and black smoke. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Dark Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Fantasy". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Dark Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Marcellus: A mature Roman general in his early forties with a strong athletic build, sun-weathered olive skin, square jaw, and piercing gray eyes. He has short cropped dark hair with a few silver strands and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears an ivory tunic beneath a deep burgundy cloak fastened with bronze clasps and a golden laurel wreath on his head. His hands are calloused from battle. He stands inside a torch-lit war chamber with maps of the Nile spread before him, exuding disciplined strength mixed with growing inner tension and vulnerability. - Potin: A thin middle-aged Egyptian courtier with sallow skin, narrow calculating eyes, and a sharp angular face. He has slicked-back dark hair and wears somber black robes with a single golden seal pendant on his chest. His posture is hunched and furtive. He lurks in the shadows of a marble corridor near the throne room, lit by faint blue moonlight, projecting an aura of icy menace and hidden malice. - Faros: A teenage Egyptian king in his late teens with slender build, smooth olive skin, and anxious wide brown eyes. He has short curly black hair beneath a simple gold circlet crown. He wears a white and gold royal kilt and cape, standing rigidly on an ornate throne in a grand hall lined with columns and spears, appearing both regal and insecure under the influence of others.
