Nezumi slips on the way across, averting disaster by means of her rope.
On her second try, she successfully traverses the ledge and continues down the winding tunnel. She comes to a tall chamber. Halfway up the wall, there is a small outcrop of rock. Nezumi climbs up to find the plant she seeks. It's black leaves and white blossoms glisten with the damp of the cave.

Nezumi breathes a sigh of relief, collecting the herb as instructed by the druid, and makes her way back out of the cave.

Nezumi returns to her village with the Darkflower and the mushrooms.
With the Darkflower, the druid is able to heal Nezumi's parents and they make a rapid recovery. The mushrooms also prove beneficial in the creation of a magic incense that curries the favor of the spirits of the land, resulting in an annual crop exceeding the bounty of any other in living memory.
At the healing of her family and later at the harvest festival, Nezumi is praised for her courage and determination; and the druid accepts Nezumi as her apprentice the following spring.
