A vast, ancient tree standing tall in the center of a lush, green meadow. Its mighty limbs, once a network of life supporting an ecosystem of vibrant creatures and verdant foliage, now lie bare and broken. The tree's mighty trunk is riddled with cracks, as if time itself had etched a countdown to its demise.
