The Flames of Hope }} 'Admiral' is an adult male SilkWing who was
introduced in The Lost Continent (book)|The Lost Continent. He is the
father of Luna and Blue, as well as the former partner of both Burnet
and Silverspot. He is a flamesilk Dragons|dragon and was last seen
enslaved in the flamesilk factory.

## Description

Admiral has shimmering blue-green scales, a hue somewhere between Blue's
bright morpho blue and Luna's caterpillar green. His eyes are brown with
a faint gold tinge to them, and he has darker purple streaks along his
wings and matching spots of white on each one. He is mentioned to be
quite skinny. Fritillary described him as scrawny.

## Personality

Admiral is cheerful, naive, optimistic, and happy-go-lucky. He tries to
make the best out of even the worst situations, as he has no problem
being held captive in the flamesilk factory. He is proud of his
accomplishments, despite them being minimal and is a rule-follower who
is oblivious to the fact that he is actually a prisoner, believing that
he and his coworkers are valuable employees for Queen Wasp. However,
Admiral is not completely blind to this situation. He slowly and only
semi-successfully attempts to get Wasp to improve the flamesilk factory
by regularly sending her lots of letters that she rarely answers. He was
also proud to be a father, excited to meet his son for the first time,
and looked forward to meeting his daughter when she emerged from her
cocoon.

Admiral's ignorance of Queen Wasp's indifference towards the flamesilks
cause him to overlook and have a biased view against some of the other
flamesilks who do not share his optimism about being imprisoned. It is
unknown if Admiral's ignorance of being imprisoned is out of stupidity
or wishful thinking, as Blue states that the other flamesilks also
behave oddly due to being imprisoned for most of their lives. He is
grateful for the times that the queen listened to his letters, and
writes thank you letters to her.

## Biography

|align = left |heading = Pre-Series |content = Growing up in Hornet
Hive, Admiral underwent Metamorphosis and emerged from his cocoon in the
flamesilk factory. Later, he was sent out to Cicada Hive temporarily to
have eggs with Silverspot and Burnet in the hopes of hatching more
flamesilks before returning to the factory. }}

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

|align = left |heading = The Lost Continent (book)|The Lost Continent
|content = Blue had various thoughts on his mysterious father, such as
why Admiral was whisked off to another Hive before he could see his
eggs, and how it was better that way because Burnet and Silverspot
"loved each other more than they could ever love him."

Later, when Blue was captured and imprisoned in the factory, he met his
father, who was taking care of Luna's cocoon. After Admiral showed his
son the dozens of letters he wrote to Queen Wasp, Blue realized he
disagreed with Admiral's thoughts on the HiveWing rule and the other
flamesilks. After Luna emerged from her cocoon, she and Blue told
Admiral about their escape plan, hoping that he would want to escape
with them. He refused and tried to sabotage their escape by calling out
to the guards. However, Danaid started a shouting match involving all
ten flamesilks, which helped Blue and Luna escape through the confusion
into the tunnels made by the LeafWings, which had been opened by Sundew
with her leafspeak. }}

Admiral when he told Cricket that flamesilk does not burn after
Metamorphosis. }}

## Relationships

### Blue and Luna

Admiral loves and cares for both his dragonets. He welcomed them both
with open wings and defended them from Fritillary even after knowing
their desires to escape. Though Admiral did not seem to understand his
children's wishes and possessively wanted to keep them in the factory
along with him, he still loves them and tried to keep them away from
dragons he sees as potentially harmful. Admiral tried to stop his
dragonets from escaping by shouting to the HiveWing guards but Danaid
stopped him, allowing his children to escape.

### Clubtail

Admiral said that Clubtail, Danaid, and Whitespeck (TLC)|Whitespeck are
wrong about everything and that he would never work with them.

### Danaid

The flamesilk factory is divided into factions. Danaid is on the
opposite one from Admiral, so they have a hostile relationship. They
frequently insult each other and are generally toxic toward each other.
Admiral calls her dreadful after Blue talks to her.

### Fritillary

Fritillary and Admiral strongly dislike each other, and they get into
arguments frequently.

### Sandfly

Sandfly is one of the HiveWings who guards the flamesilk factory.
Despite Sandfly's rudeness toward him, Admiral was apologetic to her
when he woke up late. He would also try to make conversation with her,
even when she told him to stop talking.

### Whitespeck (TLC)|Whitespeck

Whitespeck is typically on the opposite side in arguments with Admiral,
as are most of the other flamesilks; they are generally toxic toward
each other. Admiral called him along with Clubtail and Danaid selfish
ignoramuses who are wrong about everything.

### Xenica

Admiral seems to like Xenica, as she was the only dragon he properly
introduced his son to. He told Blue that she is very sweet and always
has clever things to say about the others. Aside from Blue and Luna, she
is the only flamesilk Admiral seems to like.
