The Four Beasts Rising From Chaos

Prompt

The camera begins to pull back rapidly, retreating toward a dark shoreline. The four beasts surge forward together, cutting through the waves, the fourth beast's iron feet pounding the sea floor and sending geysers of water skyward with each step. The lion-man strides upright; the bear lumbers and lunges; the leopard skims above the surface, wings beating; the iron beast crashes through everything, horns wreathed in storm-light. Sea spray and rain fill the air. Lightning strikes repeatedly on all sides. They are running OUT of the ocean, toward the shore, toward us. The camera continues its backward glide, low to the water, conveying the terror of witnessing this. Sense of inevitability, of empires rising to devour history. Motion blur, rain streaks, slow-motion water sheets. Epic scale — the beasts fill the horizon. Audio: No Music, natural environment sounds only, the beast(s), storm, thunder, etc.
