Chrysalis
The Chrysalis is a secretive underground movement of SilkWings who were planning to overthrow Queen Wasp.
Goals/Description
The Chrysalis is exclusively made up of SilkWings. There is a Chrysalis group in each Hive, although according to Swordtail, there may not be one in Wasp Hive.[1] It appears the average number of members per Hive is around thirty to forty, although Bloodworm Hive's group may have more members while Jewel Hive only has around five to seven members. They identify themselves to other members using the phrase "The seeds will grow again."[2]
History
The Chrysalis was first mentioned by Io during Blue's escape from the metamorphosis chamber of Cicada Hive. When he asks why he hadn't heard about them, she points his sympathy for HiveWings is hard to follow up with talking about a movement to take them down.
When Cricket rescues Blue from the pursuing HiveWings, he asks if she is with the Chrysalis. Later, in the library, Cricket asks Blue what the Chrysalis is, prompting Blue to think about how HiveWings probably weren't supposed to know about it; Cricket follows her question by asking if it's a SilkWing secret.
Blue pondered if Swordtail was referring to the Chrysalis when he stated he knew dragons who would be interested in the antidote to the HiveWing's paralysis toxin, and wondered if they would set all of the SilkWing prisoners free if they knew how.
Swordtail mentions that there are dragons he could reach out to for help rescuing Luna from the flamesilk factory, and Cricket guesses he is referring to the Chrysalis. Swordtail asks how she knows about them, and Blue interjects, stating she only knows as much as he does, which is almost nothing.
