Excalibur and the Zerg Ch. 1

Excalibur woke up and the first thing he registered was he was laying on a beach and his carapace was smoking. He pulled himself up and looked up and down the coast and it was obvious he wasn't home, because the trees up ahead had a strange bark and rather odd leaves. He remembered a movie he'd seen when he had diguised himself as a young stallion and went out with his girlfriend "I don't think I'm in Equestria anymore" he spoke in his snake-like voice, quoting the movie.

Excalibur pulled himself up, and he toke a step forward, but he was on the ground once again gasping in pain "Damnit" he whispered in between gasps, he knew he needed to move before some scavenger came, he could probably scare some away, but usually when the small scavengers arrived, so did the big ones. He stood up an clenched his jaws to try and endure to pain and he set towards the jungle to try and find somewhere safe to rest.

He got past the treeline and sighed in relief now that the heat wasn't pulsing down upon him and he could function better now that he was cooling off. He walked for a few hours and the pain after what seemed like forever, was finally gone, but the bad news to that was that it had exhausted the last of his energy to heal himself and he was starving. He buzzed his wings to test if they worked and he lifted upward, not quickly, but at a steady pace.

He roamed the jungle now just looking for something to eat, there was a little know fact to Changelings, originally they evolved as carnivores, and survived like that well into their civilization, until a some Changeling discovered a way for them to feed on love and grow stronger from it, and thats what they had done ever since, but Changeling norsemaids still taught their young to hunt, incase they were to weak to shift or their was no love nearby.
Excalibur had flown a few minutes when the toll of his flight hit him and once again he was paralyzed, but he was safe on a tree branch this time. He crept down the trunk of the tree once enough energy and at about the last foot of the trunk he jumped down, but there was a loud squish beneath him.

Excalibur looked down at the ground and saw that there was somekind of slimy purple gunk, it almost seemed to be alive, and it was even creeping up the sides of some of the trees. "The hell is this stuff" he said and raised a hoof to see if any had stuck itself to his hoof, but none had. He slammed his hoof back down and it made another loud squish. He grimanced and decided to move on, even if this stuff was constantly there.
