Quicksand opened his eye to be... standing in a desert with golden clouds above
Quicksand looked around and saw nothing but desert...
Suddenly a small sandstorm appeared and the Historian appeared, and reached out and Quicksand grabbed his talon and could feel his scales...
"Am I finally put to rest?" asked Quicksand
"No, not yet, your body is hovering between life and death, I thought it would be a great time to meet... him" answered the Historian pointing to a huge sandstorm swirling and a mighty sandwing with scales as golden as the clouds above them.
"Hello, my Heir" said the dragon, "I'm the Founder, you must be my successor Quicksand"
"Y-You're a hybrid, like Sunny" sputtered Quicksand
"Of course, animus sandwings are rare, so of course my animus powers come from my mother a nightwing" answered the Founder
Quicksand started to bow but the Founder said, "Don't bow my child, I'm not royalty"
Suddenly the world started shaking and cracks of light appeared in the sky, just to disappear as soon as they had appeared.
"She's getting closer to waking him" the Historian told the Founder, "If you're going to tell him, do it quick"
"Who's waking me?" asked Quicksand, the ground shaking harder, then ceased...
"You'll find out soon enough" answered the Founder, "The Heirloom Necklace holds more than just the Historian's and I's spirits, if you need strength just clasp the ruby and say, I need the strength of the Family of the Ancient Dust, and you'll get the strength of the entire Family"
"Even yours" asked Quicksand seeing more cracks of light appear in the sky.
"Yes, but your body can't handle all our spirits at once, your body will literally shred itself to pieces" answered the Founder, just as the desert shook once again, more aggressively this time and a massive sandstone column that touched the clouds, behind him in the desert crashed into a sand dune and more cracks of light appeared in the sky.
"Your time here is up" said the Historian, "Go save your friends, Heir of the Founder"
Suddenly the cracks expanded and all of Quicksand's vision was like staring at the Sun...
Quicksand woke on the sandstone floor of Stingray's fortress...
"He's alive" shrieked Kinkajou, turning a bright pink
"You got us just in time" answered Jambu
"Wha-What happened" asked Quicksand
"Kinkajou told us everything after coming to the Rainforest and getting us" answered Deathbringer, "We want to help get our queen back
"We need a plan" Quicksand said, looking around for inspiration when he saw a sea urchin with a deformity, a whole area of its spines were missing, and that reminded Quicksand of that strange Skywing trader who sold deformities that make things more dangerous.
Quicksand smiled and Kinkajou said, "He's got a plan"
"Then settle down, so he can tell us" said Deathbringer
"All right here's the plan..." said Quicksand
