Human: Compose a short description of a foreboding scene outside a mountain with veins of silvery-blue crystal and a spire. Assistant: 
Veins of silvery-blue crystal run through the surface of the plateau, like the roots of a tree. No grass grows within a few feet of even the smallest shoot of the vein, leaving a vast swath of the area barren. A large spire made of the same material rises to the west.
