Human: Compose a short description of a foreboding setting outside a wilderness cave with unsteady ground. a secluded tower with a pile of embers and half-burned bundles of herbs and flowers. Assistant: 
A truncated set of steps rises into the seclusion of this tower, which is ringed by stone benches and a trio of lancet windows that look out onto the sea. In the center of the floor is a shallow pit heaped with a rounded pile of glowing embers, which impart a subtle warmth to the surrounding stone. At the fringes of the smoldering heap are half-burned bundles of herbs and flowers.
