Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
A lush, whimsical forest with towering ferns and oversized glowing mushrooms in shades of neon blue and violet. In the center, an ancient stone archway is overgrown with thick emerald ivy, its weathered surface etched with glowing turquoise runes that pulse with a soft light. Lilu stands in the midground, looking up at the gate in awe, while Volk the dog sits alertly beside her on the mossy ground. The lighting is a cool twilight blue with warm golden fireflies floating in the air. Wide establishing shot from a low angle.
