A close-up shot focusing on the surface of a stone. The stone is etched with intricate patterns that are illuminated by an intense, glowing blue light emanating from a crystal embedded within. The rough exterior of the stone is partially burning away, revealing a smooth surface beneath, with the patterns of the village's river landmarks emerging in detail. The scene is bathed in dramatic lighting. The setting sun casts a golden glow across the muddy riverbank, creating long, elongated shadows that emphasize the textures of the stone and the ground. In the background, partially obscured by the soft glow, the back of Ling Chen is visible, hand on her mouth as she stares at the transformation. The composition should guide the eye from the bright blue light to the intricate carvings and then towards Ling Chen, creating a sense of depth and wonder. The atmosphere should be one of anticipation and discovery, with the rich color palette contrasting the warm oranges and golds of the setting sun with the cool blues and greens of the river and the crystal's light.
