A vertical YouTube Shorts cover, photoreal cinematic fantasy film still with exactly the characters and look of the reference image. In the rain before a castle portcullis, the old silver-haired lord in a black and gold brocade coat and the pale warrior in dark hooded robes cross their swords close to camera; the blades glow white-hot where they meet, lighting both faces. Grey stone, rain streaks. At the top, big bold white serif capital letters with a soft dark shadow: "THE LORD DREW HIS SWORD" on two lines; below it smaller thin serif "THE ABYSS CROWN". No other text. Tense duel, high contrast.
