Excalibur shifted in his sleep, his dreams was filled with Zerglings, and other creatures that look similar to them like one that looked like some kind of snake thing with blade hands and an elongated skull. All of them had been quite terrifying, but all of them paled in comparison to a small group that stood near before the others, there were about four in total, one appeared like the snake thing but it was only partially sticking out of a hole in the fleshy ceiling. It lacked arms, but had tentacles coming from its head that ended in spikes and its face reminded Excalibur of ancient stories about strange bipedal creatures that only had hair on the top of their head.

Another had a rather spindly snake body with an extremely large head covered in odd bright green sacs and a glowing slit for a mouth. The third looked like a cross between a bird, a lizard, a beetle, and the bipedal creatures of legend, but one of its arms was small and shriveled while the other looked long, powerful, and deadly. The fourth and final creature was probably the scariest, but least threatening looking one at the same time.

He could tell it was female just from its figure and face, her face was also like the bipeds of legend, but there were glowing purple lines coming from her eyes and traveling towards the back of her head. She had deadlock hair that looked to be made of a bugs carapace, and her body also appeared to be cover in a bugs carapace, altered to match her form. Her hands ended in talons and it looked like she had giant bat wings attached to her back but they seemed to lack the skin that made them wings.

"But My Queen, what is the purpose of visiting this world?" the snake women said to the winged one, who turned to her "Because Izsha ,one of out Broodmothers is down on that world and we need her fraction of the Swarm returned to us" The Queen said to Izsha. "Queen, the DNA of Metamorpha's Zerg are rather unimpressive and lacks the abilities that the Swarm could us" the spider snake said in a voice that Excalibur pieced together made him male. The Queen turned her head to him "She and her Zerg are not what were after down there, Abathur" she said and turned her head back to Izsha, but not before letting her gaze rest upon him which scared him for he wasn't there. "But Queen, if its not her were going for, then what are we doing her?" one he had over looked said, its voice was female and it looked alot like Metamorpha, but it also look like a centaur but made of a spider and a bird. "There is DNA currently down there Za'gara and we need to obtain it before it leaves" the Queen said and once again her gaze rested on him before turning back to the one named Za'gara.

Excalibur was confused by this, DNA?. It was a term unknown to him and it wasn't something he was all that interested in, but the was that Queen said it made him hungry to know more and also wanting to get out of there. He felt she was referring to him and he felt he needed to get out of that Chrysalis forsaken place. He jolted upward, covered in sweat from the dream he'd just had. He had a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach that it had been more then just a dream.
