The following story is about a boy named Mark. Mark was a boy who always had what he needed. Although he always wanted a little more, but he never said anything. His parents were divorced but it wasn't a problem for him because they always loved him. However Mark's live was far from perfect. He was a lonely boy who couldn't adapt to easy and he felt imperfect. But he also liked being alone, mostly because only he could understand himself. But he had some friends. His best friend was called Darius.

One day Mark and Darius went in their favorite place-Hill Capela. This hill wasn't very big, but it was very vast. Everything looked like a huge forest. They loved this place because it had wonderful landscapes and it was a nice place to explore. Mostly in that winter. They went to a place in which it used to be a house once, but now it was just a stone basement full of rain water and countless empty beer bottles thrown by travelers. The water was frozen deep and they, like how a normal young teenager would, tried to break it. But the ice was very strong. They tried to break the ice half an hour with no avail. Before they left thought, Mark found a big rock and finally braked it. Of course he told himself, "No big deal", but he truly felt a big happiness and realization. And he wasn't the only one in the forest who felt like this.

The next time they returned, both agreed to go further. After twenty minutes Mark felt dreaded. Darius was nowhere to be seen. Then he suddenly heard a voice saying: "If you want to exit, you must finish the path" .Normally he would've left already in another direction. Normally he would've dialed 911. But he couldn't left while his friend was in the hands of a stranger. The "end of the path" was a truly impressive wall made of tall and thick trees. In front of Mark was a huge black and glowing crystal. Before Mark could say a something, the crystal cracked and a winged shadow. In that moment no worry, no friend, no wander was in Mark's mind. Now only fear busted him to run to the civilization. But soon enough he heard, "Rest" and passed out. He woke up at the entrance in the forest sitting on a bench.

"What the..." said Mark to himself.

"What was all of that? How did I got here?", millions of questions were flooding his mind.

"It was real! it wasn't a hallucination! ". The next two weeks were too...good for Mark. He was really enjoying every single moment and felt good with himself. He was suspicious about feeling so happy. But the day of revelations came.

"Hello Mark." said the voice that was printed in Mark's mind all this time.

"Where are you? "

"Don't struggle to look. I'm in your body. Or I could say our body." said the mysterious voice.

"Let me explain myself. You can call me Scar and I am what you can say a" upgrade" to you.".

"What are you talking about? " said Mark confused.

"It's like this: man represents the smartest species on this world. Being the smartest means the ultimate species. But the man is not the strongest nor the fastest nor the the most longevity and not the one with the best senses. But still it has the greatest potential."

Suddenly Mark's body began to morph. He felt how two raven like wings came out of his back, how his skeleton and his muscles became bulkier in a painful way, and how the skin on his left hand became an armor like stratum of violet diamonds. In the next moment he couldn't control his body anymore. He could just watch how he was flying into the woods.

"You see", said Carver "This form is the end of human evolution. It's the result of hundreds of bullets, dozens of grenades and knives, and thousands of human deceptions and hatred."

"That sound horrible", said Mark.

"You'll get used to them. But the good part is that this human is really ultimate from every point. And I'm sorry to announce you but all of this is starting sooner than you can imagine."

"When?"

"In a couple of years. So we need to enjoy this limited time."

"What are you trying to say? "

"We have to do whatever you always wanted to do, but never had the chance to. You're most hidden wishes. So? "

"Well...it sounds very good to me."

That day they made a deal. They would do what they wanted, when they wanted and how they wanted and no man could tell them anything else. So if you ever see a spiky angel of doom making sounds like the wind howling through the woods..Stay out of his way!
