{"prompt":"An epic, wide shot inside a majestic Viking Hall of Ancient Languages, built from colossal, dark polished wood and rugged stone. The vast hall is adorned with intricate carvings that blend Norse runic patterns with subtle, elegant motifs reminiscent of Southeast Asian art (like stylized mythical creatures or geometric patterns). Dominating the scene are muscular Namekian-style humanoids, green-skinned with sharp, determined facial features, pointed ears, and imposing builds, all clad in impressive Viking-style attire: heavy fur cloaks, detailed leather armor, metallic belts, and horned helmets.In the foreground, a revered Namekian elder, his helmet grander and cloak more elaborate, stands before a massive, glowing holographic scroll projected onto a stone wall. The scroll displays intricate, elegant script (resembling Indonesian, Thai, or Vietnamese characters). He points with a long, gnarled finger, mentoring a group of focused younger Namekian students who are intently studying smaller, individual scrolls etched with similar exotic scripts. Their expressions are a mix of wonder and intense concentration.In the mid-ground, other Namekian students are gathered around ornate, carved wooden tables, actively engaged in language \"drills,\" tracing characters with their fingers on tablets or conversing animatedly, practicing new words. The mood is highly determined and hopeful, charged with the mystical energy of knowledge discovery.Cinematic lighting fills the hall: warm, flickering torchlight from iron sconces casts dynamic shadows across the robust figures and ancient architecture, while an ethereal golden light streams through high, arched windows, symbolizing new opportunities. Subtle, glowing green auras emanate from the ancient texts and scrolls, highlighting the magical nature of language acquisition. The overall atmosphere is epic, scholarly, and filled with the promise of adventure through learning. The camera then dynamically zooms into a close-up on a student's face, revealing their focused gaze and the glint of ambition in their eyes as they grasp a new language character.
