Rigel (n) : awesomesaucery

Of all the versions of Daniel, it's Moebius!Daniel that intrigues me the most. I think because he is such a tragic figure and his story is just so heartbreaking.

I remember being slightly obsessed with sand being somewhat of a leitmotif for Daniel. It was something about how cyclical it was for him - his background in archaeology, then exile on Abydos and finally for Moebius!Daniel being trapped in Ancient Egypt.

And you're so right, sand is a fluid entity and it's also all that remains of great monuments and even the rocks of the earth. There's something to be said for that old biblical verse "From dust you were made, and to dust you shall return"
