CHAPTER 3: PARADISE LOST FOREVER

MAN'S WORLD:

STEVE TREVOR: AFTER CRASH LANDING

'Damn it, what the hell has happened? And where the heck am I? What is this creepy place?' thoughts and unanswered questions swirled through his mind like a whirlpool that threatened to drag him down to the dark abyss of unconsciousness as the bright sunlight flashed across his eyes. Fear and confusion clung to him like a second skin as he turned around to observe his destroyed surroundings with his keen eyes.

As the air filtered through his lungs, he noticed that it smelled of smoke and blood which really didn't help him to quell any of his fears. According to him there are no islands in this particular region. He was completely sure of it. So what the hell is this place? Some sort of undiscovered island. There are many places in this world which are not discovered yet. He was sure not everything could be captured on the satellites.

As he continued his silent reveries, he finally came to a conclusion that it would be better to check out this mystery island rather than wasting the time by useless brooding. May be he could find someone or something to get a clear idea about what the hell this place is? It clearly wouldn't be a problem if we explore this place a little bit now would it? Nah…it would definitely help him explain his present predicament to his boss who would surely question his sudden disappearance until he got the answers out.

He packed up some necessary supplies in a bag and two fully loaded shot guns for safety and started his little journey through the thick lush forest. After a few hours of travelling, he reached to a path that was painted yellow clearly indicating that there might be some people inhabiting the island and that the path would lead to something.

He followed the path, anxious to find some information about this place. But what he found was definitely not the thing he expected to find. The air reeked of decayed flesh and blood. Smoke and ash filled the once bright sky. Trees fallen. Destroyed marble buildings. Weapons like spears and swords were strewn across the soil. Crimson pools of blood splattered on the milky white marbles creating an eerie effect. Dead bodies of thousands of women clad in the style of ancient Greek warriors and some weird looking monsters were spread on the land like some heaps of sand.

Suddenly, he felt an intense urge to run away and repair his jet so that he can get the hell out this damned place. But something told him to explore this place a little further. Moreover, it is definitely not in his blood to flee away from danger. His position as a Colonel would definitely agree with him to confront the situation.

After reassuring himself, he made his way through the piles of dead bodies silently with a shot gun in his hand for safety. Surprisingly, during the journey, he noticed many things. One, everyone are female. Two, every female is dressed for war. Three, weapons like guns are not at all seen in this place. Only spears, arrows and swords. Four, everything looked completely out of place; it is as if he entered into the past. And strangely there were no men in this place. After a few hours of his journey, he reached a place which kind of looked like it was not influenced by whatever the hell of a war that has happened here. It was quite peaceful and the air didn't smell that bad.

His heart leapt with joy as he saw a fresh water pond and dragged his already tired legs towards it to quench his thirst. After reaching the pond, he sat down on a wooden log with a tired sigh silently enjoying the scenery around him. Thick and lush greenery along with the intoxicating scent of magnificent flowers he had ever seen as the evening sunlight glanced across the surface of the water created quite the hypnotizing effect on his senses.

As he took a swig of water directly from the pond, he heard some faint sounds of baby cries coming from the bushes nearby. A BABY CRY, he was sure of it. He leapt on to his feet and ran towards the bush where he heard the cries.

But he was never prepared for what he was going to see in the bushes. Yes it was indeed a baby, a baby girl, a very beautiful one at that. But what made his heart shatter was the fact that such a small infant, not even two days old was hidden in the bushes, away from the war and bloodshed where her parents might be killed. Such a small infant clearly had no idea what has happened in her homeland and what might be the fate of her parents. It is clearly a known fact for everyone in the world that a parent always wants their child to be safe whether the parent be a good one or not. It was same in this case too but only downside was that her parents were no longer alive to watch their child grow up and lead a happily ever after life.

Such a beautiful baby girl being an orphan at such a young age didn't settle well within his heart. He definitely knows the pain of being an orphan as his parents were dead before he can even talk or walk. There would be no one to wish you a 'happy birthday' or sing a lullaby to go to sleep. No warm hugs and assurances when you get a nightmare. No love. No scolding. No gifts. No holidays. Nothing. The world of an orphan is definitely a shade of black and white without the love of a mother and father. The pain of not knowing who your parents are or what happened to them would clearly be a scar that would never heal. All his old wounds and pains rushed into his memory like a tsunami. And so, he was determined not to let this girl suffer in the same way as he did.

He quickly diverted the thoughts of his melancholic childhood towards the present infant in his arms. He silently observed her features. Dark raven tufts of hair covered her head. Dark azure, piercing blue eyes were now focused on to him with an expression of wonder in them. When she touched his moustache with her tiny fingers and tried to pluck them, he caught her soft hand and tried to keep them away. But alas, did she listen? No. She tried vehemently to grab them and pluck them and pluck them she did. Well it looks like she is not only a beautiful one but a stubborn one as well.

A golden cloth with the symbol of a flying Eagle which has a red star on each of its wings was wrapped around the baby and surprisingly, along with it there was a dagger with an Eagle shaped hilt. Moreover, her forearms were completely covered with silver bracelets with a red star embedded on each of them. All of these accessories gave her a royal look.

A sudden cry from her broke his silent musings and quickly observed his surroundings, taking a notice that the sun was about to set which means he had spent more than enough time in this place. Deciding that it was already late, he took the child in one arm and a shot gun in the other and broke into a sprint towards the jet taking his bag along in the way.

He quickly reached the jet in a surprising speed and sat in the cockpit placing the baby beside his seat. He took his tool kit from the supplies bag, removed the control panel of the jet using screw driver, immediately falling into his work. After an hour, everything was fixed and ready to go to home as there were no major problems in the jet except for some minor changes in the wiring system.

He got into his seat; emptied all of his supplies from the bag and converted it into a temporary baby carriage. He carefully shifted the slumbering little bundle into the bag safely locking the seat belt around her. He started the engines of the jet methodically swiftly taking off into the evening sky as the moon gradually took the place of the sun. But what he didn't notice was the fact that the whole island literally disappeared after he took off.
