Dark fantasy scene, mysterious ancient laboratory, abandoned machinery, old cracked test tubes, dimly lit by flickering candles, eerie green glow emanating from beakers, broken clockwork mechanisms, worn leather-bound books scattered on wooden tables, mysterious artifacts with glowing runes, eerie mist swirling around the room, a lone figure in the distance, hood up, face obscured, surrounded by an aura of dark magic, ominous red eyes glowing in the shadows, atmospheric lighting, heavy shadows, cinematic composition, 3/4 view.
