The Crystal Citadel
Visual Prompt: Picture a towering citadel of pure ice and crystal, rising from the center of a frozen lake surrounded by snow-covered forests. The citadel glows faintly with hues of silver, icy blue, and frost-white, refracting light into shimmering rainbows across the surrounding snow.
The walls of the citadel are intricately carved with frozen spires and arches that resemble frost patterns magnified to monumental scale. Overhead, the sky is painted with the greens and purples of the northern lights, weaving through a canopy of stars.
Around the citadel, massive ice bridges stretch across the lake, their surfaces so clear they reflect the sky above. Snow gently falls, sparkling like diamonds in the soft light.
At the gates, massive ice sculptures of mythical creatures—dragons, wolves, and phoenixes—stand guard, their icy forms so detailed they seem alive, glowing faintly with an inner light.

This breathtaking image features a towering citadel of crystalline ice, surrounded by snow-covered forests and serene landscapes, with intricately carved walls, delicate snowflakes, and a mesmerizing display of northern lights in shades of green and purple.
