When the first few bugs landed beneath her feet, she became hesitant to continue on her way. She had learnt most of her knowledge from her Grandmother, long ago. She had told Amara of swarms of bugs, locust they were called, that were carnivorous to anything in their path. Well, at least to all vegetation. It would mean disaster for their forest, and her budding garden. But the pack was her priority, as she had come to learn. She could always restart, but the forest would need to regrow, to her dismay. It would take a long while, depending if the hoard was still to come. She did not know if they knew of the old bugs, so she squashed one underneath her foot and carried it in her mouth to the center of the territory, Lover's Grove. She fretted that the red flowers would be gone in the locust destruction.
Her head swung back to call for the pack, each and every member with urgency. Some did not know her but there was no mistaking she was an Alpha. Aaron stood with her, arriving just a second later. She dropped the bug at his feet, signalling the danger to him. "There are locusts in the forest, Aaron. I fear the plants will not survive after the swarm passes through. They eat everything in their path," The grasshopper looking bug was a killer, as her Grandmother had put it. "They will drive away the herds," She shuddered in fright, fearing that the destruction might be even more disastrous than she thought. More of her subjects arrived to her call, no doubt overhearing her information. "We must find our caches and prepare, who knows how long they will pass over. The few that you see is only the beginning. Anyone who would like to stay with me and Aaron is welcome to do so, we will find a secure place to stay until after the swarm passes over, which could be days," She looked to Aaron for anything to add before re-addressing her pack. "Please stay calm, we will be fine," She did not believe that they were in critical danger, but the aftermath, she did not know. As she spoke, a few locust turned into a hundred, and they didn't stop coming. "Quickly, we must find a cave to hide!" There was no halting the storm.
