Create a premium cinematic dark fantasy illustration in a strict vertical 9:16 composition. An enormous ancient gothic city stands beneath a moonless black sky, its countless narrow towers, bridges and cathedral spires disappearing into dense supernatural fog. The entire city appears to be alive. From hundreds of windows, thin black supernatural tendrils emerge like streams of smoke, all flowing downward through streets and cracks in the stone and converging beneath the central square. Deep below the city, barely visible through a colossal broken opening in the ground, is an enormous ancient creature sleeping beneath the foundations. Its body is fused with the architecture, its immense ribs forming underground arches and its closed eye hidden beneath layers of stone. The black tendrils are not smoke: they are condensed fear drawn from the inhabitants of the city. Tiny people throughout the streets display different reactions — some run through dark alleys, some hide behind doors, some pray beneath statues, some stare nervously through windows — while every expression of fear visibly feeds the growing darkness beneath the city. The central square contains a monumental gothic statue with its face completely eroded away. Around it, dozens of frightened citizens gather while thin black streams rise from their bodies and disappear into cracks beneath the statue. One tiny fearless child stands alone in the center, completely calm. Around the child, the black tendrils stop moving, creating a small circle of untouched light. This is the only place where the city cannot feed. Secondary details: an old clock tower has stopped at midnight; several gargoyles are subtly turning their heads toward frightened citizens; windows on distant buildings resemble hundreds of watching eyes; a forgotten underground doorway is beginning to open; ancient murals on the walls depict the same city feeding an enormous creature centuries ago. At the far end of the street, one enormous shadow rises behind the rooftops, suggesting the buried entity is slowly awakening.
