## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Lost Continent

While talking with Blue, Danaid accidentally began a shouting fight with
Fritillary and Pierid. Pierid complained about how various things the
other flamesilks brought up throughout the argument were not his fault,
although eventually, Danaid managed to shut him up. Afterward, Danaid
listed all the flamesilks kept in the flamesilk factory to Blue and
described Pierid as untrustworthy.

Later, Blue visited all the flamesilks and noticed that Pierid seemed
"desperately unhappy," which made him suspect that he did not like
living in the flamesilk factory.

Blue had a nightmare where Danaid, Fritillary, and Pierid screamed at
each other through the winding halls of Cricket's
Cicada_Hive#Terrarium_Academy|school.

Later on, Pierid shouted along with the nine other flamesilks in the
giant screaming match Danaid caused to distract everyone from Blue and
Luna's escape. Pierid wailed at the others that it was midnight and that
they had to be quiet.
