Continent of Despair

A rewritten version of The Lost Continent, written by TempestMidnight. More books to follow upon the completion of this.
Blue has always liked his life as a SilkWing. While his life, along with many others, may not be the greatest, he is grateful to be safe. His sister Luna, on the other hand, hates the life she's been forced into, and constantly wants a way out.
When Blue finds himself in situations he never even dreamed of, he must learn that there is more to life than being obedient and quiet, else he may risk his very downfall.
== Chapter I ==
They say that when Pantala was new, a BeetleWing and a LeafWing drew out a map of the world, at a mere age of seven. 
The two dragons were close friends, and everyone expected the two to potentially have a future together...
...until neither of them returned.
Dragons claim to still hear their whispering echoes and bubbly laughs, as if nothing ever happened.
Blue was shaken awake so suddenly that he fell onto the silkweb floor of their home, bouncing a little as he fell. Above him was his ever-so-slightly older sister, Luna, shaking his hammock with a huge grin plastered on her face.
Has she had another one of her... ideas? Blue wondered as he rose to his talons, eyeing his sister warily. Usually she didn't look like the dragon manifestation of a rainbow or the sun unless she had something.
"Wake up, sleepyhead!" Luna said in a sing-song tone, even though Blue was already awake. "It's today!"
"...what's today?" Blue asked, his mind trying to recall what was happening. Luna gasped dramatically as if he'd said his first swear.
"I cannot believe my own brother forgot!" Luna said, using her overly-dramatic tone, which she'd learned from the Theatre Club, one of the only clubs the HiveWings allowed. "It's my metamorphosis day, silly!" She reminded him in her normal voice.
"Oh, right. Congratulations, I think," Blue said. He wasn't entirely sure whether metamorphoses were all that exciting. He certainly didn't like the idea of being locked in a trance, spinning yourself a silk cocoon. But judging by Luna's excitement, he assumed it was exciting for her, and that was all that mattered.
"Just think, in a few days I can fly through the clouds and do all sorts of cool flying tricks!" Luna said, her gaze drifting outside as she imagined her wings. "Do you think they'll look like my namesake, a luna moth? I know it isn't all THAT common to have wings that match your name, but luna moths are so pretty!" Luna continued rambling about her wings, and Blue began to zone out. He knew that she tended to talk a lot when she was feeling anxious, though she didn't mind that he zoned out a lot during her rambles.
Luna's mom, Silverspot, swooped into the room, having returned to briefly visit her dragonets before she was summoned away again by her mistress. 
"You excited about your new wings?" She asked Luna, who immediately nodded. "And I assume anxious?" Luna nodded again, though slower. "You'll be alright, I promise. Just think, you and your friend Swordtail can fly together, and you can help Blue when his wings come in."
Blue shuddered a little at the thought of his wings coming in, his mind returning to the whole "trance" thing of the metamorphosis. He watched silently as Silverspot gave Luna a few scales to buy something sweet. He knew words were being passed between the two, but he didn't really pay attention to what. His mind was mostly fixated on the worried expression Silverspot tried to mask. The next thing he knew, Luna was tugging at his arm, leading him through the silkwebs to the main entrance of the Hive.
Blue always admired Cicada Hive. It was large, larger than most other Hives (though smaller than Wasp Hive), with clear delicacy and thought with every piece of treestuff- a weird mixture of silk, wood, and other materials- that formed the shell of the Hive. Blue had only seen Cicada, the Lady of the Hive and the one who the Hive was named after, once, as she was heading down the halls to her art gallery. She was tall and imposing, her red scales glittering with danger. Blue had a mix of respect and fear for the Hive Lady.
The two siblings were silent as they waited in line, and politely showed the HiveWing at the entrance- a rather stern-looking HiveWing named Hawker, if Blue could remember correctly- their wristbands. Hawker was fairly silent, as he always was, but he did comment on Luna's metamorphosis, to their surprise. Blue wasn't even sure if he'd ever heard Hawker speak before.
"Come on, come on!" Luna said as they passed through the gate, pulling him through the marketplace. "I wanna go big today!"
Why was Silverspot so worried? Blue wondered as they narrowly avoided bumping into HiveWings and SilkWings. She knows something we don't, but what?
"Luna, no, we can't," Blue said as she began to haul him towards the one store SilkWings never visited. "Mother wouldn't want us to go in the Sugar Dream."
"It's my metamorphosis day," Luna reminded him in her stern voice. "Today must be special."
