Beryl offered to show Umber and [[Sora]] around the Isle when her son, Mulberry, brought them to the Dungeon Isle. She claimed to be "so very happy" they were there. Umber thought that there was "nothing sinister about Queen Beryl," but she seemed to be "over-the-moons proud of Mulberry." and he thought she was intense. Beryl gave her son a small hug and a pat on the head as she brought the two [[MudWings]] to meet the king, Snakeroot. As she was touring the palace, Sora pointed out a statue of a [[SeaWing]], to which Beryl replied it was their old [[animus]], [[Waterfall]], who built the palace over two thousand years ago and enchanted it to stand forever. After walking for a while, Beryl told Umber and Sora to hold still, as the [[SharpWings]] came to inspect the newcomers. She told the small dragons that Umber was category four randomly, explaining that she chose a number from one to ten as they were unsure of what the categories meant. | |||
Beryl brought Umber and Sora to meet King Snakeroot, who was having one of his manic episodes. She calmed him down, stating "that's gone worse." When the [[Platypus|ghost]] attacks the palace, she yells at the ghost, saying that it was no use and pointless to keep trying. Beryl calls [[Quokka]] to clean up the mess and to get Umber and Sora settled in. Beryl asks Umber to train the [[King's Teeth]]. However, she does not specify the exact reason, only saying that it was to protect the queen and that something was out there wanting her throne. | |||
Later, when Platypus sabotages [[Aurora]]'s Northern Lights Concert, Beryl orders Umber, [[Taipan]], and [[Dugong]] to find her. When they lose her, Beryl scolds them for losing her. When Snakeroot gives [[The Forgotten Isles Prophecy]], Beryl brushes it off as a poem and takes him off the stage. | |||
Beryl appeared in a memory of when she was in the [[Sky Kingdom]], just after [[Queen Scarlet]] took the throne after killing her mother and sister with poison within a goblet that she had Beryl create for her. Scarlet told Beryl to make more poison for her enemies with delightful glee before she leaves the room, but not before she overhears Scarlet talking to [[Canyon]]. When Mulberry and Umber come out of the [[Memory Room]], Beryl, along with her King's Teeth, was in front of them, and she used sleep powder on Mulberry and took him hostage into her chambers and threatened Umber to kill the Triumvirate or else she would keep Mulberry captive until he does. | |||
In the throne room, three days later, Beryl was confronted by Mulberry, Umber, Dugong, and the Triumvirate. Beryl orders her King's Teeth to attack and kill them; however, some of them refuse to fight, no longer wanting Beryl and Snakeroot in power, to Beryl's fury. When [[Horizon (THP)|Horizon]], [[Monarch (TLC)|Monarch]], and [[Tuatara]] are placed back into power, Mulberry confronts his mother.

After walking for a while, Beryl told Umber and Sora to hold still, as the SharpWings came to inspect the newcomers. She told the small dragons that Umber was category four randomly, explaining that she chose a number from one to ten as they were unsure of what the categories meant.
