Dramatic duel scene between Thomas Hart Benton and Charles Lucas on Bloody Island in 1817 with flintlock pistols

Prompt

“Create a highly dramatic and intense scene capturing the duel between Thomas Hart Benton and Charles Lucas on Bloody Island in 1817. Both men should be standing in a tense face-off, aiming flintlock pistols, the type used during that period. The setting should be a foggy, isolated island with the Mississippi River faintly visible in the background. Benton and Lucas should be wearing early 19th-century attire—tailored coats, waistcoats, and high-collared shirts, with Benton appearing more confident and Lucas looking determined yet anxious. The atmosphere should be filled with tension, with dark storm clouds gathering overhead and the first light of dawn illuminating the scene. The surrounding environment should feel isolated and dangerous, reflecting the seriousness of the duel, with scattered trees, muddy ground, and visible signs of the rough, untamed nature of the island.”
