Captive blonde woman in a metal cage surrounded by fantasy characters in a moonlit misty swamp
This atmospheric dark fantasy illustration shows a tense, moody swamp scene where a blonde woman is trapped inside a rusted iron cage. A robed wizard holding a glowing lightning staff stands left of the cage, a towering witch with a wide pointed hat looms behind it, and a muddy red-haired fey woman stands to the right. The scene is lit by a bright full moon filtering through gnarled cypress trees, with cool dark blue tones and wispy mist creating an eerie, tense mood.
