The Diary of a Forgotten Island
In an epoch as big as existence itself, nestled in the middle of an endless, glistening ocean, was an island, forgotten and shrouded in mystery. The island was a sight to behold - breathtakingly beautiful, with a mountain range stretching towards the sky and a rainforest that came alive with the sounds of an unseen world.
The first time the island was discovered, by a reckless sailor named Edgar who had accidentally veered off-course, all he found was an uncharted piece of land teeming with life. Enchanted by its overwhelming beauty, he kissed the ground and marveled at the unknown, vibrant flora which painted the wilderness in an array of colors and the melodic song of the unseen creatures hidden behind the colossal green veil, enough to captivate even the most seasoned explorers.
Edgar befriended a curious orangutan tribe dwelling there who showed him the way to a lake filled with shimmering, crystal-clear water, adding a new charm to the island. The lake was fed by a rivulet that was born deep within the mountains. Edgar named this ethereal land 'The Enamor Island'. To him, this was not just an island, it was a paradise forgotten by time, buried in the womb of the illustrious and placid ocean.
Years passed, Edgar's fascination with the island manifested into a deep affection. This secret world, home to a plethora of divine mysteries, filled Edgar's heart with a sense of tranquility and fulfillment he had never experienced before. The humble island had become the center of his universe, because while some find happiness in a kaleidoscope of locations, Edgar found his in one perfect piece of land.
However, time as we know it is the only constant, forever changing. Edgar grew older, and the harshness of life began to cast their impending shadows. The trip back to the civilized world for resources became tiresome and risky, shaking his frail body and perhaps more ominously, his indomitable spirit. Eventually, Edgar decided to bid the island farewell, leaving behind his heart with the promise to bequeath its majesty through legends and stories.
His tales bewitched every ear that listened. From curious children to envious explorers, everyone was entranced by the stories of the Enamor Island. Edgar's stories resonated throughout the world, echoing in every direction, gaining power and provoking the curiosity of people and nations. Yet, the island remained elusive to the world.
As he grew frail and close to his end, Edgar left a map marking the route to the island in trust of a bright, young boy named Levi – the only one he believed could appreciate the island's beauty and protect its sanctity. Levi devoted his life to the exploration of this mystical piece of land. As years turned into decades, the memory of Edgar and his enchanting tales began to wane, and the island was once again enveloped in its original cloak of obscurity.
As fate would have it, the forgotten island rose from the ashes of oblivion when Levi, now a life-hardened adventurer, stumbled upon it. Engulfed in nostalgia, he roamed the island, reliving Edgar’s tales. He marveled at the mountain range, basked in the mystique of the rainforest, and found peace in the melodious song of the hidden creatures. His eyes welled up as he stared at the enchanting lake – the island was more beautiful than he had imagined.
Levi built a small wooden home on the island to spend his later life. He cherished the island, just like Edgar, and with each passing day, his love for it grew stronger. The island, in all its majesty, had found a new ward. In exchange for his affection, it filled Levi’s life with solace and tranquility.
The island's secret was once again locked away when Levi, too, passed away, years later. However, his journal full of drawings and descriptions of the place was found. The last entry read, ‘May the whispers of human curiosity never disturb this peaceful abode of majestic obscurity. Forever in oblivion, The Enamor Island’. The forgotten island returned to its captivating solitude surrounded by the endless ocean, free from the influence of time, brimming with the magic of existence.
