A stormy sky, but one alive with bruised purples, angry greys, and the stark white of lightning flashes momentarily illuminating a turbulent, inky sea. Jagged, obsidian rocks claw their way out of the churning waters, their wet surfaces reflecting the oppressive sky. The air, thick with salt spray and the roar of crashing waves, feels heavy with an unspoken magic. And then, there she stands. At the very precipice of the world, on the most exposed, wind-battered rock, a figure of profound mystery and ethereal power. Her silhouette is slender, yet charged with a formidable presence, her back to us, the whipping tendrils of her long, black dress. This is no ordinary garment. It flows around her like a second skin, a deep, velvety abyss that seems to absorb the last vestiges of light. It's a dress that whispers of ancient secrets, of silent defiance, and of a beauty found only in the deepest shadows. But the most breathtaking, improbable moment unfolds before our eyes. The fabric of her dress, instead of merely rippling in the wind, begins to unfurl. Not into tatters, but into a dizzying multitude of living things. With a silent, impossible burst, the dress explodes into a flock—hundreds, thousands—of black birds. Crows, perhaps, or ravens, their sleek bodies and widespread wings painted with the same inky blackness as the dress they just emerged from. They burst upwards and outwards, a torrent of beating wings and glinting eyes, swirling around her like a dark, living halo before scattering into the tumultuous sky. Some might still cling to the departing folds of the dress, others already streaking towards the horizon, lost to the storm. The woman remains, perhaps only a faint outline now, her form seemingly less solid, as if she herself is on the verge of dissolving into the magnificent, avian exodus.
