In the beginning of the book, Blue had spent the night contemplating how it felt to be his sister and thinking about her Metamorphosis, but was stirred by Luna in the early hours of the morning. As she wished Silverspot goodbye and pointed out how they'd be flying together in no time, Silverspot looked strangely fearful, as though she'd never see her daughter again.

Walking along the webs strung between the Hives, Blue and Luna visited the checkpoint bordering [[Cicada Hive]] to get their IDs and palm carvings checked by [[Hawker]], the soldier who usually worked there. After making their way through three additional checkpoints, Blue and Luna entered the Hive's open market, a huge and vaulted space surrounded by busy stores and buildings. Luna led the way into an expensive candy store called [[The Sugar Dream]], where they were confronted by a snobby HiveWing named [[Chafer]]. Chafer refused to serve them before another shopping HiveWing, an elderly dragon named [[Lady Scarab]], even though she was obviously a long ways off from checking out. Things took a turn for the worse when two other HiveWings entered the store, one by the name of [[Weevil]], who rudely asked to touch Luna's wingbuds and looked horrified when she'd fiercely refused. Hastily, Blue let the HiveWing probe his own wingbuds, quickly explaining that it was better to not touch with a SilkWing's buds right before Metamorphosis. His friend requested a particularly complicated order of eight honey drops, six sugar wasps, and one box of apricot taffy, haughtily ignoring the SilkWings as she did so.

Lady Scarab, however, told Weevil to stop being such a brute and asked to help her pick up some of her selection, as she was afraid that her old talons would drop some; Weevil obeyed, letting Blue's wingbuds go and hurrying over to help the elderly dragon. After the two HiveWings left the store, Chafer still refused to serve them, insisting that Scarab be served first. Scarab said otherwise, and when the salesdragon still refused, she released a sick-smelling odor that convinced him otherwise; Chafer didn't even require them to pay in his haste to get them out of his store, but Luna dropped two scales on the counter anyways.

After The Sugar Dream, Luna visited the Mosaic Garden, a large place decorated with ties from every color, depicting images of the [[Tree Wars]] and the [[Book of Clearsight]]. There, Luna started to complain about her silk glands hurting, which were glowing a strong orange color; Luna told Blue that they needed to go, and they went to the Cocoon immediately, where they met with Swordtail, [[Io]], and Burnet.

Io landed them in a park next to a fancy HiveWing school, noticing the parents chatting and their dragonets playing around them. Posing as humble SilkWing servants, Blue and Io managed to stay unnoticed until Queen Wasp used her mind-control to immediately send her HiveWing subjects into attack mode. Io, fighting two large HiveWing guards, was unable to help Blue as he stood at the edge of the park, useless without wings. Instead, Io shot silk for him to swing from, and he managed to escape the HiveWings, leaving Io behind on her orders. As Blue kept running, he was ushered by warm yellow talons into a small supply shed on the side of the school. His rescuer let him into a series of tunnels, which led into a small, first-level library. There, Blue realized that his rescuer's scales were not only yellow, but were patterned by a series of black inkblots, unmistakably marking her as a HiveWing.

After walking through the park, Cricket pushed open a gate that bordered the courtyard, emerging onto a rocky path that led to the mounted stone pedestals of Mishbehaver's Way. There, the displayed dragons stood stuck in time, frozen in various emotions ranging from pleading to fighting. Swordtail, of course, was stuck in an attempt to fight, with his face twisted angrily and his claws outstretched. After burning off Swordtail's wrist cuff, Cricket then unrolled a pouch of vials from her satchel, selecting one with a green liquid inside and placing the flamesilk from the library in the bottle so that it started to bubble and steam. Holding it under Swordtail's nose, the SilkWing woke up with a lot more strength, speed, and craziness than before. After smashing straight through the one of the treestuff walls, he takes off into the night towards Wasp Hive, holding Blue, and Cricket scrambles to follow them.

Template:SpoilerTLC Template:Charbox Blue is a young male SilkWing and the main protagonist of The Lost Continent. He and his sister, Luna, both inherited flamesilk from their father, Admiral, although neither knew about it until Luna's Metamorphosis, when her silk emerged as a fiery orange color instead of her tribe's usual silver-gray silk.

Blue had also developed romantic emotions for Cricket by the end of The Lost Continent, although it it uncertain if she returns his feelings.

Personality

Blue is a sweet, anxious dragonet with an enormous curiosity for the world, and mostly, the lives of the dragons in it. He often daydreams and wonders how each dragon wakes up and proceeds their day, and how they differ from himself. He was never bothered about the fact that the HiveWings were considered superior to the SilkWings, and always did his best to abide by the rules and stay out of trouble, even earning a Good Citizenship award. He was shown to be empathetic when, in The Lost Continent, he worried about his sister Luna and later Io when she was fighting HiveWing soldiers. Blue is also an honest dragon, and always strives to tell the truth and follow the rules.

Appearance

Blue has gemlike azure[1] and bright morpho butterfly blue[2] scales, purple scales on his back[3], and lavender scales on his arms[4]. His wingbuds are an iridescent violet, a brighter, more purple shade than the rest of his scales[1]. On the cover of The Lost Continent, he is depicted as the opposite: purple and blue with blue wings. He is fairly small, and his and his parents’ initials are carved into his right palm, forming a triangle[5]. Cricket described him as being one of the most colorful (and handsome) SilkWings she'd ever seen; his vibrant scales could be seen from a mile away. He has warm golden-amber eyes.

Biography

The Lost Continent

In the beginning of the book, Blue had spent the night contemplating how it felt to be his sister and thinking about her Metamorphosis, but was stirred by Luna in the early hours of the morning. As she wished Silverspot goodbye and pointed out how they'd be flying together in no time, Silverspot looked strangely fearful, as though she'd never see her daughter again.

Walking along the webs strung between the Hives, Blue and Luna visited the checkpoint bordering Cicada Hive to get their IDs and palm carvings checked by Hawker, the soldier who usually worked there. After making their way through three additional checkpoints, Blue and Luna entered the Hive's open market, a huge and vaulted space surrounded by busy stores and buildings. Luna led the way into an expensive candy store called The Sugar Dream, where they were confronted by a snobby HiveWing named Chafer. Chafer refused to serve them before another shopping HiveWing, an elderly dragon named Lady Scarab, even though she was obviously a long ways off from checking out. Things took a turn for the worse when two other HiveWings entered the store, one by the name of Weevil, who rudely asked to touch Luna's wingbuds and looked horrified when she'd fiercely refused. Hastily, Blue let the HiveWing probe his own wingbuds, quickly explaining that it was better to not touch with a SilkWing's buds right before Metamorphosis. His friend requested a particularly complicated order of eight honey drops, six sugar wasps, and one box of apricot taffy, haughtily ignoring the SilkWings as she did so.

Lady Scarab, however, told Weevil to stop being such a brute and asked to help her pick up some of her selection, as she was afraid that her old talons would drop some; Weevil obeyed, letting Blue's wingbuds go and hurrying over to help the elderly dragon. After the two HiveWings left the store, Chafer still refused to serve them, insisting that Scarab be served first. Scarab said otherwise, and when the salesdragon still refused, she released a sick-smelling odor that convinced him otherwise; Chafer didn't even require them to pay in his haste to get them out of his store, but Luna dropped two scales on the counter anyways.

After The Sugar Dream, Luna visited the Mosaic Garden, a large place decorated with ties from every color, depicting images of the Tree Wars and the Book of Clearsight. There, Luna started to complain about her silk glands hurting, which were glowing a strong orange color; Luna told Blue that they needed to go, and they went to the Cocoon immediately, where they met with Swordtail, Io, and Burnet. They were also greeted by at least five alert-looking HiveWing guards, which further aroused Blue's nervousness. As Luna began her Metamorphosis, she was surrounded by the guards when flamesilk spilled from her wrists; Swordtail leaped from the balcony and started to fight the guards tooth and claw while Io ordered Blue to run. She told him that he had to stop trusting the HiveWings if he wanted to remain free, and that he had to find some place where he wouldn't be detected; if Luna had turned out to be a flamesilk, then Queen Wasp would want him locked up in the case that he would be one too.

Io landed them in a park next to a fancy HiveWing school, noticing the parents chatting and their dragonets playing around them. Posing as humble SilkWing servants, Blue and Io managed to stay unnoticed until Queen Wasp used her mind-control to immediately send her HiveWing subjects into attack mode. Io, fighting two large HiveWing guards, was unable to help Blue as he stood at the edge of the park, useless without wings. Instead, Io shot silk for him to swing from, and he managed to escape the HiveWings, leaving Io behind on her orders. As Blue kept running, he was ushered by warm yellow talons into a small supply shed on the side of the school. His rescuer let him into a series of tunnels, which led into a small, first-level library. There, Blue realized that his rescuer's scales were not only yellow, but were patterned by a series of black inkblots, unmistakably marking her as a HiveWing.

His newfound friend introduced herself as Cricket, explaining that she couldn't be mind-controlled like her fellow tribemates, much to her confusion and wonder. While they were talking, Blue felt a sharp prickle from under his armband; as he started to feel woozy and his words started to slur, Cricket explained that there were probably toxic-inducing barbs under his wristband, installed for exactly this type of situation to make him easier to capture, in hopes that he'd flop over somewhere. Cricket took one of the lamps from the library's walls, breaking the glass ball inside to reveal a small piece of glowing flamesilk. Using a pair of tweezers taken from the librarian's desk, she picked up the flamesilk and used it to burn off Blue's armband, leaving a smoking black line through the w in Silkworm Hall. That was when Blue lost consciousness on the table, waking to Cricket's voice urging him to get up. Just in time, he and Cricket hid in the tunnel's trapdoor under the table he had fallen asleep on; a moment later, three brainwashed HiveWings checked the library, knocking over books and upending tables and generally creating a huge mess. When Blue used his antenna to check that they had really left, they crept out from under the trapdoor again.

Cricket pulled a book off of one of the higher shelves, showing a colorful page depicting a flamesilk, grinning crookedly as flamesilk spilled out of his wrists, setting fire to the Hives and the dragons who lived in them. The whole page was bordered by words proclaiming THE CONSEQUENCES OF UNCHAINED FLAMESILKS. The next page was less morbid, explaining flamesilk genetics; a dragonet with one flamesilk parent had a fifty percent chance of being one themselves, meaning that Blue may have or may not have been a flamesilk. When Blue told Cricket about his sister Luna and how she was probably in danger, she agreed to help him rescue her. In the librarian's desk, they found forms relating to flamesilk, which traced back to some sort of warehouse located in Wasp Hive. Before they could travel there, though, they needed to go rescue Swordtail from Misbehaver's Way.

As they continued through the HiveWing school, Cricket took Blue into a room full of little terrariums, each kept alive by little flamesilk suns. Cricket's, unsurprisingly, was more wild and unordered than any of the others, but what did surprise Blue was a real life little tree growing right there in the middle of all the rioting foliage. Cricket, smiling, explained that she had found the seed on one of her school's gathering field trips and that she hadn't known it would be a tree until it started growing. Next, they entered a room titled Chemistry, which was filled with neatly labeled bottles, ordered by color. The Chemistry room was connected to an art gallery, where Blue asked which easel was Crickets; she offhandedly explained that Principal Lubber had angrily ripped her art to shreds once she saw all of the different colors on her canvas. She then painted Blue's scales in dark blues, greens, and red colors, hiding his vibrant usual blue and purple ones. Once they had reached the door of the school leading to the exit, Blue went first to make sure it was safe; he was only confronted by one working HiveWing, who told him that it was probably best to get to his Hive, since the queen was going to send out the search parties for the missing SilkWing tomorrow. Blue, nodding submissively, beckoned for Cricket to join him after the HiveWing had left.

After walking through the park, Cricket pushed open a gate that bordered the courtyard, emerging onto a rocky path that led to the mounted stone pedestals of Mishbehaver's Way. There, the displayed dragons stood stuck in time, frozen in various emotions ranging from pleading to fighting. Swordtail, of course, was stuck in an attempt to fight, with his face twisted angrily and his claws outstretched. After burning off Swordtail's wrist cuff, Cricket then unrolled a pouch of vials from her satchel, selecting one with a green liquid inside and placing the flamesilk from the library in the bottle so that it started to bubble and steam. Holding it under Swordtail's nose, the SilkWing woke up with a lot more strength, speed, and craziness than before. After smashing straight through the one of the treestuff walls, he takes off into the night towards Wasp Hive, holding Blue, and Cricket scrambles to follow them.

They fly through the night, and dawn approaches as they approach Wasp Hive. Searching for a place to hide, Blue spots a hole in the ground, and suggests that they try to hide in there. The trio decends to the bottom of the hole, where Cricket discovers a short tunnel leading to a cavern with a lake, which they can feel, but not see, as the cave is pitch black.
