Visual Description
A solitary figure walks away across grassy ground holding five swords, while two swords remain planted upright behind him. Colorful tents and a shoreline are visible in the background under a twilight sky with swirling clouds and stars. The person looks over his shoulder as he steps, one hand gripping the swords and the other extended toward a tent. Flags flutter near the tents and a narrow path winds toward the water. The scene is rendered in vivid, stippled colors and clear outlines.
