Ancient Serpent's Gaze: A Cinematic Encounter

A hyper-realistic, high-resolution, cinematic scene capturing a tense and reverent moment as a lone, cloaked figure stands before a colossal, ancient serpent coiled around a gnarled, moss-covered tree in a misty, primordial forest. The serpent's scales are like dark, polished stone with a soft, internal, golden luminescence, and its warm, orange, reptilian eyes glow with a subtle light. The video is shot with a virtual wide-angle camera to emphasize the immense scale, and the color grade is cool and moody, with desaturated greens and browns. The audio features a deep, subsonic rumbling, the faint drip of condensation from the trees, and the soft, wet, clicking sound of the serpent's forked tongue. The video captures the serpent's slow, deliberate movement as its massive head shifts, and its glistening tongue emerges to taste the air.
