Biography

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Lost Continent
When Blue, Cricket, and Sundew first met The Librarian, she was under Queen Wasp's control. She fought Sundew, who was able to steal the key to the Book of Clearsight's box. Soon afterwards, Sundew freed her from the queen's mind control for the first time since she was initiated as Librarian using the pain from a bullet ant, which made the queen want to leave the Librarian's body, as she was unable to handle the pain. When she was sure the queen had left The Librarian's body, Sundew gave the Librarian plants to chew and apply to the wound, to deaden the pain. The Librarian decided to help Blue, Cricket, and Sundew steal the Book of Clearsight and get away. However, the queen started controlling the Librarian again after Sundew used something to distract the HiveWings below. The last thing Blue saw of the Librarian was Sundew fighting her.
The Hive Queen
Cricket mentioned the event with The Librarian, telling Sundew that not all HiveWings are bad, Wasp just did not give them a choice. She later mentioned her during a discussion with Katydid.
The Flames of Hope

Quotes

"That's the one way to be sure the Librarian never reveals the Book's secrets. The tribe thinks two dragons share the Book's knowledge — but really, only the queen does, because the Librarian isn't herself anymore."
