Write a brief description of a suspenseful scene outside a forest with brush, roots, vines, and a laurel.
assistant
The branches of the laurel are very high on the south side, but even here, ominous croaking threatens from above. Invasive vines and brush creep up from the dense forest around the tree, attempting to take the area the great laurel has long guarded. Only the presence of thick roots breaking the surface of the ground keeps the brush at bay enough for a traversable path to exist.
