Goal: Create a cinematic 16-panel storyboard contact sheet for {argument name="story title" default="ZAREYA — The Song That Buried a Kingdom"}, showing a mythic desert singer wandering through the ruins of a buried empire. The mood is epic, tragic, mystical, and wind-swept, like 2.5D cel-shaded animation concept art with painterly anime backgrounds, stylized lighting, soft bloom, sand particle simulation, and warm sunset grading.

Canvas: Wide 16:9 storyboard sheet, arranged as an exact 4-column by 4-row grid with thin pale dividing lines. Each panel is a separate cinematic shot with consistent golden-orange desert lighting, high detail, and no visible UI. Use a warm amber, bronze, ochre, and sepia palette, with occasional turquoise magical light.

Visual style: Studio Ghibli atmosphere mixed with Arcane-style painterly rendering and Prince of Persia fantasy architecture. Highly cinematic composition, dramatic backlight, volumetric dust, wind-driven cloth, flowing hair, ornate jewelry, ancient sandstone ruins, colossal statues, and swirling sand. The heroine is {argument name="main character" default="Zareya"}, a solitary desert bard/princess with long dark braided hair, turquoise beads, gold ornaments, patterned desert robes, bangles, and a wooden flute. Her face is partly obscured or cropped in several close-ups; include flat dark-brown rectangular censor-like blocks over the face in exactly 3 panels to match the generated contact sheet.

Panel layout: Include exactly 16 discrete panels:
1. Extreme close-up of the heroine's closed eye, eyelashes, hanging gold chains, turquoise beads, and dust motes glowing in sunset light.
2. Another close-up of the closed eye and cheek, framed by windblown hair and a dangling turquoise ornament.
3. Low-angle wide shot of the heroine standing on a broken stone statue or fallen colossal head, cloak and hair blown by a sandstorm under a glowing sky.
4. Close side view of braided hair, bead strands, and patterned headscarf, with a dark-brown rectangular block covering the face area.
5. Medium close-up of the heroine playing a wooden flute, hands covered in bracelets, hair whipping in the wind, face hidden by a dark-brown rectangular block.
6. Full-body shot of her walking alone through a circular vortex of sand and cloud, centered in a golden storm.
7. Tiny figure walking toward monumental ruined columns and stone giants in a buried kingdom, sand curling around the architecture.
8. Grand ruin vista with towering statues and palace remnants, the heroine as a small silhouette at the bottom, sky full of dust and light.
9. Wide fantasy shot of enormous serpentine sand-dragon forms or storm spirits arcing above ancient ruins while the heroine stands on a rock ledge.
10. Heroic medium shot of the heroine holding the flute near her shoulder, robe billowing, a dragon-shaped sandstorm behind her, face covered by a dark-brown rectangular block.
11. Symmetrical temple-gate shot with two colossal statues, the heroine facing a tall vertical turquoise glow in the doorway, sand waves rising on both sides.
12. Interior or gate shot looking into a vast carved doorway flooded with cyan-blue magical light, a small human silhouette standing at the threshold, sand drifting inward.
13. Rear view of the heroine walking toward the glowing turquoise temple gate, cloak tattered and windblown, ornate ruins on both sides.
14. Very wide desert landscape with rolling dunes, distant buried city, and a tiny lone traveler approaching a small blue-lit portal or doorway.
15. Extreme wide aerial-like view of endless golden dunes and mountains, the traveler reduced to a tiny dark figure in the lower center.
16. Final black title card with centered small serif text reading exactly: {argument name="closing text" default="Every forgotten kingdom\nstill remembers her song."}

Text content: Only the final panel contains text. Use elegant off-white serif typography, centered slightly right of the middle on a pure black background. Keep the line break between the two lines.

Constraints: Maintain the exact 4x4 grid and exactly 16 panels. Do not add extra captions, logos, watermarks, speech bubbles, modern objects, sci-fi machinery, or additional characters. Keep the character design consistent across all panels. Emphasize wind-driven fabric, flying sand particles, painterly brush texture, cinematic sunset lighting, and the contrast between amber desert ruins and turquoise sacred light.
