When Quicksand woke up, the first things he noticed were, that his mask and his robe was off, laying next to him, he was wearing a bandage over the spear wound, and the burn that horizontally crossed his eye had some pale green liquid, that felt as cold as ice, but as refreshing as water splashing on your scales, when you're in the Sand Kingdom.

Quicksand grabbed his mask and a hairy spider fell out and it scurried away and Quicksand looked up and saw the dragon that nursed him back to health after Eclipse's violent death standing there, Quicksand remembered he's related to Glory and his name is Jambu.

Jambu let out a small laugh and said "Good, you survived another close to death experience"

Quicksand got up and put his smooth black robe back on and Quicksand walked over and responded "Thanks, for saving my life... both times" he added with a laugh

Jambu's scales turned a little green and he said "It's like you like coming close to death"

Quicksand let out a small chuckle and then put on his most serious face and said "Don't worry, I've survived worse... without healers"


Just as Jambu was about to respond, Glory and Deathbringer walked in and Glory said "Good, you're still alive, sorry about that Nightwing spear"

Deathbringer looked over at Quicksand and said "Sorry, I should have finished..."

Quicksand cut him off "It's not either of your faults, I knew Tornado would try to get me out of the way as soon as I came into the Rainforest"

Glory and Deathbringer looked at each other and then back to Quicksand.

Quicksand asked "What?"

Deathbringer said "Tornado and the Followers left the Rainforest and are heading to the Sea Kingdom"

Quicksand realized what that meant and he said "They've gone to look for a Seawing animus named Stingray" as Glory did

"You knew?" asked Glory

"Not exactly" said Quicksand "I just knew he was Nightmare's partner, but I didn't know he was involved"



An hour later,

Quicksand prepared for the trip to the Sea Kingdom, Deathbringer had told him that Tsunami, Clay and Peril would meet him there,

Quicksand flew off through the tunnel back to the Sand Kingdom and started his way to the Sea Kingdom...









In the mountains,

Quicksand entered the cave and shook off the rainwater that had collected on his scales and looked over at his left wing, the holes in the wing membrane and the broken claw at the end of his wing. 


Quicksand brushed moss and twigs into a pile and breathed a plume of fire on it and laid down next to the fire, and before drifting off to sleep, he thought, this is going to be a long night,

Outside a bolt of lightning flashed in front of the entrance to the cave.
