'''Flame''' is a male [[SkyWings|SkyWing]] dragonet who used to be one of the [[The False Dragonets|false Dragonets of Destiny]] before becoming a student attending [[Jade Mountain Academy]] as a part of the [[Gold Winglet]], and his clawmates, [[Bigtail]] and [[Pike]]. He was [[Morrowseer|Morrowseer's]] only mandatory [[The Dragonets of Destiny|Dragonet of Destiny]] successor, meant to replace [[Queen Glory|Glory]], the [[RainWings|RainWing]] who was the last second replacement of the [[The SkyWing Dragonet|SkyWing egg]] that was thrown off a cliff by [[Princess Burn]] in the prologue of ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy]]''. He somehow detected that someone was searching in his mind in ''[[Moon Rising]]'' and 'threw' Moonwatcher out of it (surprising Moon and Qibli). He later accused Darkstalker of reading his mind. Darkstalker also fixes the scar on his face with animus magic, and Flame tries to kill Stonemover because he had said he couldn't fix Flame's face. He is currently working with healers in the Sky Kingdom.
'''Flame''' is an adult male [[SkyWing]] who was introduced in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''. He formerly attended [[Jade Mountain Academy]] as a member of the Gold Winglet and was part of the [[Talons of Peace#The false dragonets|false dragonets of destiny]] as the replacement for [[Glory]]. He is currently working with healers within the [[Sky Kingdom]] under [[Queen Ruby]] after his attempt to assassinate [[Stonemover]].

Flame has ruby-red scales,{{Ref|ToP|63}} red wings,{{Ref|TDS|220}} and orange eyes.{{Ref|TDS|114}} He has a scar running from one corner of his mouth sideways and up, straight through the opposite eye, caused by [[Viper]]'s tail barb.{{Ref|TDS|213}} His face seems to be fixed in a state of permanent rage.{{Ref|ToP|61}}


==Biography==
== Personality ==
===''[[The Hidden Kingdom]]''===
Flame despises everyone{{Ref|ToP|82}} and has flashing hatred within his eyes.{{Ref|DoD|28}} He is angry and grouchy,{{Ref|DoD|372}} and he is more prone to losing his temper over situations rather than planning terror from afar.{{Ref|MR|207}} He wished he was the one behind the cave explosion as he wanted others to take him seriously.{{Ref|MR|229}} He does not seem to think much for "mushy" feelings, as he accepts [[Starflight]]'s more realistic answer as to why he and [[Fatespeaker]] wanted to help him.{{Ref|TDS|214}} [[Sunny]], however, believes that he could be a different [[Dragons|dragon]] with someone who really cares about him as shown with his mother, [[Avalanche]].{{Ref|TBN|228}} He also shows empathy for his fellow SkyWings and is shown to be very dependent since the incident in the [[NightWing island|Night Kingdom]]. He hates having his mind read, and [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]] described his mind as dark, while [[Moonwatcher]] described his head as filled with darkness like a torrent of inky bile,{{Ref|MR|229}} and [[Mindreader]] said his thoughts were like "nasty boiling tar."{{Ref|ToP|84}}
In the prologue, Flame is shown arguing with the other false dragonets. In the epilogue, when Ochre moans that he wants to die, Flame brings up that he also wants him to die. When Fatespeaker has a "vision", he says that he wants her to die as well. He appears to say this a lot.


===''[[The Dark Secret]]''===
== Biography ==
Flame first appears when he is introduced to [[Starflight]] along with the other false dragonets. He "votes" for him to replace Fatespeaker, and appears smug when Morrowseer says that he is the only one that will certainly replace the RainWing dragonet, "a mistake" (according to Morrowseer) named Glory.

|content = Flame was introduced to Starflight along with the other false dragonets by Fatespeaker. He "voted" for him to replace Fatespeaker, and appeared smug when [[Morrowseer]] said that Flame was the only one that will certainly replace the [[RainWing]] dragonet, "a mistake" (according to Morrowseer) named Glory. At the time, he clearly preferred the actual dragonet over their own, expressing his distaste for the eccentric [[NightWing]], but this changed as he found that Starflight also annoyed him greatly.


Morrowseer orders the false dragonets to kill Starflight, and Viper asks if they can kill Fatespeaker instead, to which Flame agrees. Starflight flees and Flame, [[Squid]], Viper, and Ochre chase him. During the chase, Flame catches up to Starflight very quickly, but is taken to the dungeons along with Ochre when he carelessly tells a guard he is "trying to kill a NightWing dragonet", to which Starflight thought, "That was not the right thing to say." After a night in the dungeons, Morrowseer let them out. While in jail, he meets Deathbringer and asks him about being an assassin. He later sneaks away to eagerly ask him what it takes to be an assassin. However, he is annoyed by Deathbringer's fancy for Glory.
Morrowseer ordered the false dragonets to kill Starflight, and Viper asked if they could kill Fatespeaker instead, to which Flame agreed. The old NightWing refused their request and bellowed at them to listen. Starflight fled, knowing he would be overpowered in a fight, and Flame, [[Squid]], Viper, and Ochre chased him. During the chase, Flame caught up to Starflight very quickly, but was taken to the dungeons along with Ochre when he carelessly told a guard that he was "trying to kill a NightWing dragonet." After a night in the dungeons, Morrowseer let them out. While in jail, he met [[Deathbringer]] and asked him about being an assassin. He later snuck away, with Starflight and Fatespeaker coming along curiously, to ask him what it took to be an assassin. Deathbringer somewhat reflected on his experience with Glory, to which Flame thought of with contempt and didn't care for. He left the scene, tired of hearing Deathbringer's story.


When the false dragonets and Starflight flew to the mainland, Flame was the only one who wasn't breathing heavily afterward, due to his large wings. Flame was upset when Morrowseer's backup NightWings massacred the SkyWing outpost, but was not upset at all when Morrowseer banished Squid. However, this could be because he was distracted since he had just watched his fellow tribemates burn to their deaths.
When the false dragonets and Starflight flew to the mainland in the pouring rain, Flame was the only one who wasn't breathing heavily afterward, due to his large wings. Flame was upset when Morrowseer's backup NightWings massacred the SkyWing outpost but was not upset at all when Morrowseer banished Squid. However, this could be because he was distracted since he had just watched his fellow tribemates burn to their deaths.


During a practice fight with the false dragonets, Viper was about to stab Fatespeaker with her tail, but Starflight bashed into her and knocked her away. Viper's tail accidentally scratched Flame in the face when she was hopelessly trying to regain balance as she plummeted into the lava river below.
During a practice fight with the false dragonets, Viper and Flame attacked Fatespeaker. The [[SandWing]] was about to stab Fatespeaker with her venomous tail, but Starflight bashed into her and knocked her away. Viper's tail accidentally scratched Flame in the face when she was hopelessly trying to regain balance, and she plummeted into the lava river below.


Later, Starflight and Fatespeaker carry Flame out of the NightWing healers' room to go through the tunnel to the [[Rainforest Kingdom|rainforest]], claiming to have orders from the [[Queen Battlewinner|NightWing queen]]. He is taken to the RainWing healers and is treated with [[Brightsting Cactus|cactus juice]], which is the same cure Sunny once used for [[Webs]]' injury.

|content = Flame spent the majority of his time in the [[RainWing healer's pavilion|healer's hut]], recovering, and didn't want to be seen with the scar the injury had left. When he was asked to guide Sunny and [[Tsunami]] to the Talons of Peace's camp, he threw a bowl of mangoes at them, refusing to let anyone see his face.


===''[[The Brightest Night]]''===
Sunny and Tsunami left with Ochre instead, and when they arrived at the camp, they are greeted by Nautilus, [[Riptide]], Avalanche, an unknown SandWing, and an [[IceWing]] (most likely [[Cirrus]]).

Flame, who was apparently following Sunny and Tsunami, appeared in the sky, and nearly fell out of the sky before he dove for his mother when she called his name, sobbing as he buried his head into her neck. Sunny mentioned feeling pity for him and Riptide explained that his mother was furious when Morrowseer took him, along with the false dragonets, to the NightWing island.

|content = Flame was part of the Gold Winglet at the Jade Mountain Academy. He was suspected to be the murderer of [[Bigtail]] and [[Carnelian]], but Moonwatcher concluded that he was innocent, as he thought, "I wish I'd done it, everyone would take me seriously...but I wouldn't hide it, I'd roar it to the world ..."


Sunny and Tsunami left Avalanche and Flame on the beach, still embraced in a hug. As for the end of the book, he continues to reside with the Talons.
From Moon's telepathy, it was clear that Flame's thoughts were rushed and thrown together, and he now had bitterness towards his mother, who forced him to go to the academy. His thoughts were mostly scary, dangerous ones. He seemed to avoid other dragons, as shown at the assembly when he was alone in the corner.


===''[[Moon Rising]] ''===
When Moon was trying to find out who had set the bomb, Moon wanted to check if Flame was responsible. When she entered his mind, she could only read him for a few seconds because he, as Darkstalker thought, sensed a presence when he threw her out of his thoughts. It was long enough that Moon concluded that he did not set the bomb.

Immediately after, Flame walked through the school and stopped by Darkstalker, who decided he wanted to heal Flame's face. Flame, although reluctant and scared at first, was afterward excited about his new face.


From Moon's telepathy, it is clear that Flame's thoughts are rushed and thrown together, and he now has bitterness towards his mother, who'd forced him to go to the academy. His thoughts are mostly scary, dangerous ones. He seems to avoid other dragons, as shown at the assembly when he was in the corner with nobody else.
However, since Flame had originally tried to get Stonemover to do the same thing and Stonemover had refused to do it, Flame was furious at Stonemover and tried to murder him for lying about not being able to heal him. He was caught just in time, thanks to a vision Moonwatcher and Darkstalker both had, and it was revealed that he was the one who stole the third [[dreamvisitor]] from Starflight. Flame said that he had help stealing it. Mindreader read his mind and said that the dragon who helped him was Ochre, the MudWing replacement. Afterward, Darkstalker [[Animus magic|enchanted]] his library card to contain him in a semi-prison in [[Jade Mountain Academy#Stonemover's cave|Stonemover's cave]]. [[Turtle]] noted that imprisoning the two together seemed crueler to Stonemover than to Flame.

|content = Flame was briefly shown while [[Qibli]] searched for [[Ostrich (TBN)|Ostrich]], still writhing in his library-card prison. Qibli noted that it was worse punishment for Stonemover than for Flame, as the old NightWing was trying to face away from his would-be murderer.


When Moon was trying to find out who had set the bomb, Moon wanted to check if Flame was responsible. When she entered his mind, she could only read him for a few seconds because he (as Darkstalker thinks) sensed a presence when he threw her out of his thoughts. It was long enough that Moon concluded that he didn't set the bomb.
Qibli wondered multiple times throughout the book if Flame was enchanted to want to kill Stonemover, thinking that Darkstalker may have been using him to get rid of competition or make himself look trustworthy.


=== ''[[Talons of Power]]'' ===
It was later mentioned that Flame had reluctantly accepted the earring, freeing himself from the prison but regaining his scar. He left [[Jade Mountain]] to work with healers in the Sky Kingdom, under Ruby's supervision.
Flame was walking through the school and then stopped by [[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]], who decided to heal Flame's face. Flame, although he at first was reluctant and scared about his face being healed, was afterward excited about his new face. (In this chapter, it is said that Darkstalker uses a flower to heal his face, but chapters later, when Turtle recalls what good things Darkstalker has done, it is said that he used a feather on Flame.) However, since Flame had originally tried to get [[Stonemover]] to do the same thing and Stonemover had refused to do it, Flame got really mad at Stonemover and tried to murder him for lying about not being able to heal him. He is caught just in time, thanks to a vision [[Moonwatcher]] and Darkstalker both had, and it is revealed that he is the one who stole the third [[Dreamvisitors|dreamvisitor]] from Starflight in ''The Dark Secret ''(he had help). Flame says that he had help stealing it by one of the other false dragonets of destiny, Ochre, the MudWing replacement. Afterward, Darkstalker enchanted his library card to contain him in a semi-prison in Stonemover's cave.

=== ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'' ===
== Relationships ==
Flame is briefly shown while [[Qibli]] searches for [[Ostrich]] still writhing in his library-card prison. Qibli notes that it's worse punishment for Stonemover than for Flame, as the old NightWing is trying to face away from his would-be murderer.
=== [[Avalanche]] ===
Avalanche is Flame's mother and they both seemed to love each other very much, as shown by him crying in front of everyone else while embracing her. Flame seems to be one of the few dragons that Avalanche actually cares about, though Flame seemed to be angry about how his mother sent him to school, believing that she did not want to see his hideous scarred face.


Qibli wonders multiple times throughout the book if Flame was enchanted to want to kill Stonemover, thinking that Darkstalker may have been using him to get rid of competition or make himself look good.
=== [[Fatespeaker]] ===
Flame hates Fatespeaker, a trait shared by all the other False Dragonets. He tried to kill her with Viper during their 'training' session on the NightWing Island.


It is later mentioned that Flame reluctantly accepted the earring, freeing himself from the prison but regaining his scar. He left Jade Mountain to work with healers in the Sky Kingdom.
=== [[Ochre]] ===
Although Flame shows great dislike of Ochre, he seems to at least trust him, at least enough to let Ochre help him steal the dreamvisitor Starflight found.


==Personality==
=== [[Viper]] ===
Flame has been shown to be nasty, cruel, aggressive and uncaring; he enjoys setting [[Squid]] on fire and telling [[Ochre]], [[Viper]] and [[Fatespeaker]] that he wished they would all die, but perhaps this is a bitter reaction to being separated from his mother. However, he is very loving to his mother, but in ''[[Moon Rising]]'' he shows bitter thoughts towards her for bringing him to the academy. [[Princess Sunny|Sunny]] believes he is a completely different dragon around those who care about him. He also shows empathy for his fellow SkyWings and is shown to be very dependent since the incident in the [[Night Kingdom]].
Flame and Viper would always team up to beat the other False Dragonets in the training sessions. However, Flame ended up getting scratched on the snout by Viper's tail during a fight, leaving a scar. He was not sad about her death.


It was revealed that he has an interest in being an assassin when he visited [[Deathbringer]] with the question "What does it take to become an assassin?" It is possible that he wanted to kill Morrowseer for what he had done, or he could've wanted to kill the other false dragonets but his true motive and reason is unknown, for now. In ''[[Moon Rising]]'', Moon tries to go into his mind and finds it fast, furious, and in turmoil, with thoughts like a torrent of inky bile. In her own words to [[Qibli]], "I just had a weird experience in Flame's head. It's horrible in there". In ''[[Talons of Power (Book)|Talons of Power]]'', it is revealed by Darkstalker that he stole the third dreamvisitor from [[Starflight]] in [[The Dark Secret|''The Dark Secret'']]'' ''with help from [[Ochre]], possibly making him ''the darkness of dragons ''and ''the stalker of dreams'' from Moon's prophecy.

==Trivia==
*For reasons unknown, he was able to detect Moon reading his mind, which was described as a 'presence in his mind'. His ability to do so may have been because in ''Talons of Power'', he was revealed to have stolen the third Dreamvisitor from Starflight on the NightWing Island.
*Flame hatched on the same day as the False MudWing from the Dragonet Prophecy, Ochre; a couple days away from the brightest night.
*A flame is the gaseous part of a fire. The flame of a fire itself is not what burns you but the heat it produces does.
* Darkstalker attempts to pin him as the one in the Jade Mountain Prophecy (i.e. darkness of dragons, stalker of dreams).
* Flame appears to like the idea of killing dragons, as he wished he had bombed the history classroom in ''Moon Rising, ''and attempted to murder [[Stonemover]].
* This may be due to his wanting of attention, as he was neglected by his mother due to her role in the Talons of Peace during the War of the SandWing Succession.

"I wish I'd done it, everyone would take me seriously... but I wouldn't hide it, I'd roar it to the world..."
— Flame's thoughts about the bombing in the History Cave, Moon Rising

Flame is an adult male SkyWing who was introduced in The Hidden Kingdom. He formerly attended Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Gold Winglet and was part of the false dragonets of destiny as the replacement for Glory. He is currently working with healers within the Sky Kingdom under Queen Ruby after his attempt to assassinate Stonemover.

Description

Flame has ruby-red scales,[1] red wings,[2] and orange eyes.[3] He has a scar running from one corner of his mouth sideways and up, straight through the opposite eye, caused by Viper's tail barb.[4] His face seems to be fixed in a state of permanent rage.[5]

Personality

Flame despises everyone[6] and has flashing hatred within his eyes.[7] He is angry and grouchy,[8] and he is more prone to losing his temper over situations rather than planning terror from afar.[9] He wished he was the one behind the cave explosion as he wanted others to take him seriously.[10] He does not seem to think much for "mushy" feelings, as he accepts Starflight's more realistic answer as to why he and Fatespeaker wanted to help him.[11] Sunny, however, believes that he could be a different dragon with someone who really cares about him as shown with his mother, Avalanche.[12] He also shows empathy for his fellow SkyWings and is shown to be very dependent since the incident in the Night Kingdom. He hates having his mind read, and Darkstalker described his mind as dark, while Moonwatcher described his head as filled with darkness like a torrent of inky bile,[10] and Mindreader said his thoughts were like "nasty boiling tar."[13]

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Lost Heir
Flame was indirectly mentioned in the epilogue when Nautilus explained to Blister about the false dragonets of destiny.
The Hidden Kingdom
In the prologue, Flame was arguing with the other false dragonets. In the epilogue, when Ochre moaned that he wanted to die, Flame said that he also wanted the MudWing to die. When Fatespeaker had a "vision," he said that he wanted her to die as well.
The Dark Secret

Flame was introduced to Starflight along with the other false dragonets by Fatespeaker. He "voted" for him to replace Fatespeaker, and appeared smug when Morrowseer said that Flame was the only one that will certainly replace the RainWing dragonet, "a mistake" (according to Morrowseer) named Glory. At the time, he clearly preferred the actual dragonet over their own, expressing his distaste for the eccentric NightWing, but this changed as he found that Starflight also annoyed him greatly.

Morrowseer ordered the false dragonets to kill Starflight, and Viper asked if they could kill Fatespeaker instead, to which Flame agreed. The old NightWing refused their request and bellowed at them to listen. Starflight fled, knowing he would be overpowered in a fight, and Flame, Squid, Viper, and Ochre chased him. During the chase, Flame caught up to Starflight very quickly, but was taken to the dungeons along with Ochre when he carelessly told a guard that he was "trying to kill a NightWing dragonet." After a night in the dungeons, Morrowseer let them out. While in jail, he met Deathbringer and asked him about being an assassin. He later snuck away, with Starflight and Fatespeaker coming along curiously, to ask him what it took to be an assassin. Deathbringer somewhat reflected on his experience with Glory, to which Flame thought of with contempt and didn't care for. He left the scene, tired of hearing Deathbringer's story.

When the false dragonets and Starflight flew to the mainland in the pouring rain, Flame was the only one who wasn't breathing heavily afterward, due to his large wings. Flame was upset when Morrowseer's backup NightWings massacred the SkyWing outpost but was not upset at all when Morrowseer banished Squid. However, this could be because he was distracted since he had just watched his fellow tribemates burn to their deaths.

During a practice fight with the false dragonets, Viper and Flame attacked Fatespeaker. The SandWing was about to stab Fatespeaker with her venomous tail, but Starflight bashed into her and knocked her away. Viper's tail accidentally scratched Flame in the face when she was hopelessly trying to regain balance, and she plummeted into the lava river below.

Later, Starflight and Fatespeaker carried Flame out of the NightWing healer's room to go through the tunnel to the rainforest, claiming to have been ordered from the NightWing queen. He was taken to the RainWing healers and treated with cactus juice, which was the same cure Sunny once used for Webs' injury.
The Brightest Night

Flame spent the majority of his time in the healer's hut, recovering, and didn't want to be seen with the scar the injury had left. When he was asked to guide Sunny and Tsunami to the Talons of Peace's camp, he threw a bowl of mangoes at them, refusing to let anyone see his face.

Sunny and Tsunami left with Ochre instead, and when they arrived at the camp, they are greeted by Nautilus, Riptide, Avalanche, an unknown SandWing, and an IceWing (most likely Cirrus).

Flame, who was apparently following Sunny and Tsunami, appeared in the sky, and nearly fell out of the sky before he dove for his mother when she called his name, sobbing as he buried his head into her neck. Sunny mentioned feeling pity for him and Riptide explained that his mother was furious when Morrowseer took him, along with the false dragonets, to the NightWing island.

Sunny and Tsunami left Avalanche and Flame on the beach, still embraced in a hug.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising

Flame was part of the Gold Winglet at the Jade Mountain Academy. He was suspected to be the murderer of Bigtail and Carnelian, but Moonwatcher concluded that he was innocent, as he thought, "I wish I'd done it, everyone would take me seriously...but I wouldn't hide it, I'd roar it to the world ..."

From Moon's telepathy, it was clear that Flame's thoughts were rushed and thrown together, and he now had bitterness towards his mother, who forced him to go to the academy. His thoughts were mostly scary, dangerous ones. He seemed to avoid other dragons, as shown at the assembly when he was alone in the corner.

When Moon was trying to find out who had set the bomb, Moon wanted to check if Flame was responsible. When she entered his mind, she could only read him for a few seconds because he, as Darkstalker thought, sensed a presence when he threw her out of his thoughts. It was long enough that Moon concluded that he did not set the bomb.
Talons of Power

Clay had gathered all SkyWings of the Academy to hear Peril's story of the duel between Ex-Queen Scarlet and Queen Ruby. Flame is one of the SkyWing students. Immediately after, Flame walked through the school and stopped by Darkstalker, who decided he wanted to heal Flame's face. Flame, although reluctant and scared at first, was afterward excited about his new face.

However, since Flame had originally tried to get Stonemover to do the same thing and Stonemover had refused to do it, Flame was furious at Stonemover and tried to murder him for lying about not being able to heal him. He was caught just in time, thanks to a vision Moonwatcher and Darkstalker both had, and it was revealed that he was the one who stole the third dreamvisitor from Starflight. Flame said that he had help stealing it. Mindreader read his mind and said that the dragon who helped him was Ochre, the MudWing replacement. Afterward, Darkstalker enchanted his library card to contain him in a semi-prison in Stonemover's cave. Turtle noted that imprisoning the two together seemed crueler to Stonemover than to Flame.
Darkness of Dragons

Flame was briefly shown while Qibli searched for Ostrich, still writhing in his library-card prison. Qibli noted that it was worse punishment for Stonemover than for Flame, as the old NightWing was trying to face away from his would-be murderer.

Qibli wondered multiple times throughout the book if Flame was enchanted to want to kill Stonemover, thinking that Darkstalker may have been using him to get rid of competition or make himself look trustworthy.

It was later mentioned that Flame had reluctantly accepted the earring, freeing himself from the prison but regaining his scar. He left Jade Mountain to work with healers in the Sky Kingdom, under Ruby's supervision.

Relationships

Avalanche is Flame's mother and they both seemed to love each other very much, as shown by him crying in front of everyone else while embracing her. Flame seems to be one of the few dragons that Avalanche actually cares about, though Flame seemed to be angry about how his mother sent him to school, believing that she did not want to see his hideous scarred face.

Flame hates Fatespeaker, a trait shared by all the other False Dragonets. He tried to kill her with Viper during their 'training' session on the NightWing Island.

Although Flame shows great dislike of Ochre, he seems to at least trust him, at least enough to let Ochre help him steal the dreamvisitor Starflight found.

Flame and Viper would always team up to beat the other False Dragonets in the training sessions. However, Flame ended up getting scratched on the snout by Viper's tail during a fight, leaving a scar. He was not sad about her death.
