Describe a foreboding scene outside farmland countryside with an oak tree and marks on its bark.
assistant
A curious and unsettling silence hangs heavily over the fog-shrouded countryside. What little light there is succeeds only in creating eerie phantoms that dance wildly in the lingering mists. A single oak, tall and majestic, crowns the summit and remains unmarred by the fiery devastation afflicting surrounding areas. A series of deep marks are clawed into the bark of the tree.
