Create a single full-page children's book illustration. Use the attached character reference images and match each named character exactly β€” same shapes, colors and contemporary clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Dhegdheer (match attached reference) stands on a hilltop, with her ear spread wide. The place is a red desert plain with sand dunes. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the RIGHT. Keep the LEFT 50% text area genuinely open inside a smooth, low-detail gradient blur covering the LEFT 60% of the image. Use only a plain, continuous continuation of the scene background there, with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations. Keep all important characters and detailed scene content in the RIGHT 40%, with only a soft natural fade into the blurred left text area. That LEFT 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background color as the scene (not a flat panel, not a different shade, no dividing line). Do NOT shrink or squash the characters. Book text will be overlaid in the LEFT 50% text area. Do not include any written text, letters, numbers, captions, speech bubbles, signs, labels, logos, or watermarks anywhere; the image must be purely illustrative. [EDITOR_REGEN_REQUIREMENTS] These editor requirements are mandatory and override any conflicting earlier wording: - Change the name Asad in all versions to a girl's name that fit in the phonics lesson.

A bad hag lives on the red sand. Her name is Dhegdheer. Her one big ear can hear a goat groan far off.

COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the LEFT. Keep the RIGHT 50% text area genuinely open β€” plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it β€” while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally.

Use only a plain, continuous continuation of the scene background there, with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations. Keep all important characters and detailed scene content in the LOWER 40%, with only a soft natural fade into the blurred top text area. That TOP 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background color as the scene (not a flat panel, not a different shade, no dividing line). Do NOT shrink or squash the characters.

Ada runs back. She hauls the old man to the salt pan, where all sound rings out sharp. She stamps and slides and drags her feet. A storm of sound fills the flat. Dhegdheer's ear spins left, right, left. Too much sound! The hag moans and runs north, and is seen no more.
