Larksong Grotto Ozymandias

Lilac had been gathering herbs.  More than ready to prove her skills with herbs.  She had grabbed five individual pieces of brake fern and then walked a few feet away and began to dig up her recently made herb cache.  A sharp relieved smile settled on her face when she saw the five pieces of burdock root that she had placed in this cache yesterday.  She then placed the bracken fern in and the burdock root back in.  Then feeling pretty triumphant, she covered the hole with dirt.  With one step back she gazed proudly at her work.  At that moment she felt a bug.  She did not think much of it for two minutes.  Probably just mosquitoes, but more and more just came.  Still it wasn’t enough to rise suspicions... yet.  Then when she finally turned to get a look at the bug, out of pure annoyance she noticed that it looked like a grasshopper.  Seconds later  the swarm was upon her.  Disbelief quickly settled upon her and a shiver ran up her spine.  What was this?  She watched in shock as vegetation around her began to disappear.  Luckily they were not smart enough to go search for her herbs that were underground... so far.  Still she found her heart to be pierced with icy cold fear.
