A Night in Shadows: The Assassin's Vigil

Low-angle cinematic shot, dimly lit cobblestone alley at night, rain slicking the ground and reflecting faint lantern light. A hooded assassin stands in the shadows, motionless, cloaked in darkness. The camera slowly tracks forward, capturing the texture of wet stone and drifting mist. His cloak flutters faintly in the cold wind as he watches a distant guard patrol pass by under flickering torches. Subtle metallic sound as his blade is drawn, barely audible under the soft patter of rain. Cool, desaturated lighting with sharp contrasts and golden highlights from the lanterns. Tense, atmospheric score builds quietly — restrained, gritty realism inspired by “Assassin’s Creed” and “The Witcher.”
