Human: Please generate a brief description of a dreary scene outside town with a crystallized lion statue and rivulets of dark liquid. Assistant: 
Although covered with soot and filth, an enormous crystallized lion yet retains its majesty among charred ruins. Rivulets of dark liquid run over the worn stone, slowly erasing the grandeur of the fine statue. The sculpture's hindquarter is heavily etched by the steady flow, foretelling the beast's fate.
