I woke up and everything was blurry. I felt grass indicating that I was somewhere on the ground and away from the jungle.

After a few seconds, my vision returned to normal. I looked around me and saw beautiful flowers in the distance. The whole place shined brightly, looking like I had entered the technicolor world of "The Wizard of Oz."

A soft breeze passed my cheeks and the wind blew east. In front of me, I saw four rivers running, and close to them were two large and beautiful trees that looked almost alien, like no other tree I had seen before, but with a captivating beauty of lush green and a beautiful vermillion color.

"No... no, it can't be... this... this is all familiar," I muttered. I knew what it was. These were the exact descriptions of the Garden of Eden.

"No! It can't be, no!" I slammed my hands on the dirt and yelled, pure horror controlling me. But it was about to get so much worse.

I heard groaning from behind me, and I saw several bodies. Some made choking sounds, some cried for help, some begged me to kill them. They had tentacles running through their bodies and were all purple. They looked so much like the two crewmen. I recognized them - the captain of the ship, the navigator, the kid!

Then two large, two-meter-tall humanoids appeared. Their muscles were exposed, dripping with purple liquid, and they had weird faces, a mix of human and elephant seals. I was sweating like crazy. Then I heard a voice. "It's ok, Blackwood."

I frantically turned around, and it was him – it was Angeles. He looked normal, his waistcoat perfectly clean, walking with his hands behind his back, giving a friendly smile until his body ruptured, exploding in a gush of red blood that turned purple, and Angeles started to look like the other humanoid, over two meters tall, exposed muscles covered in purple liquid.

Behind him emerged a creature, a blob with a ball-shaped head, two googly eyes, and several black tentacles on its worm-like bod.It stood 160cm tall.

"I hope you weren't too lonely, Blackwood. I want you to meet someone special, our predecessor who documented life before us. He is the last of his kind, and he's passing the torch to us."

I shook my head, struggling not to vomit. "N-no, t-this c-can't be. I'm hallucinating."

"You are not, Blackwood. Everything I told you is true. I once worked as an assistant in a publishing company and read your book. You changed my life, Blackwood. You gave me wonderful ideas, and I sailed to this island in hopes of finding a new land and making sure that no human will cross it. I was amazed by the creatures, even though they were vicious. Once I came here, I discovered our friend, and he gave me this gift - Angeles, the ultimate human being. I have extraordinary powers, Blackwood. I am the chosen one, the one who will bring order to the planet, and this is me repaying you, Blackwood. All your philosophies were impossible before, now they are possible."

The creature behind him glowed, and Angeles listened to it, seeming to understand. The creature collapsed on its back and melted, something like this could never be fossilized. Everyone mourned as the remains of the creatures turned to flowers.

Angeles turned to me and said, "It's a shame you couldn't hear his last words, but it's ok. Soon, a war will start that will occupy the world for a while, and we will use that opportunity to grow our army. Once we're ready, we will start wiping out humanity, first killing all the women and children, then finally the last of the men. Humans have swayed far from nature, their sense of hearing, smell, strength - all weak. And worst of all, they tainted nature, choosing to fight pointless wars instead of documenting the world. So, we will eradicate them, and once we're done, we will document the world. Once humans are gone, there will be peace and prosperity, and nature can return as it was."

"So, you turned these men into your slaves?" I asked.

Angeles replied, "No, Blackwood. I injected them with the truth. I alone can turn humans into our perfect being, into angels."

"So, you changed your name to Angeles, huh, Travis. Real original," I said, giving him a cocky smirk.

Angeles laughed softly. "Now, Blackwood, you will join me in our journey of making the planet Earth a better place."

Terror filled me inside. No, I wasn't scared of Angeles' plans. I came back to my senses. What terrified me was the fact that I was... excited. I wanted this to happen, the change to wipe out humanity so that true nature could prevail, but this isn't right.

In reality, 99 percent of humans just try to survive like animals, but they do it in their own way. They don't deserve it. Now, I finally get it, but it's too late. I attempt to crawl away, but tentacles grip me, sending me into the air and crashing me down onto a rock.

Both my arms and legs are held tightly, then tentacles force open my mouth and Angeles walks over to me. "Brother Blackwood, we will change the world, exterminate humanity, bring order to the planet, and document natural life just like our predecessors before us," he says. He then vomits purple liquid into my mouth.

It feels warm and nice, like I'm slurping chicken soup that Grandma used to make. Memories flash before my eyes. I see how the Earth was formed, I see the first organism on Earth, I see the first intelligent life that began documenting the world, I see how an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, and I see the first human being born.

I do not know the outcome of Angeles' war, and I am powerless to do anything. I wish humanity the best, and to stop Angeles is what I would have said before. But if there were these intelligent creatures before us that peacefully documented life for millions of years without changing the world to revolve around them and never directly causing a single extinction of an animal, and yet us humans made the world revolve around us in just a few thousand years, causing exactly 530,117 direct species extinctions, then it makes me wonder if wiping out humanity is a nessesary evil.
