As he stepped into the time turner, a small hourglass-shaped device that would transport him back in time, the time traveler's heart raced. Isabella, his love, was caught amid a devastating tsunami that had hit Indonesia's coast, and he was determined to save her. As he turned the hourglass, his hand trembled, and everything blurred as he was transported back in time.

The waves were crashing all around him when he arrived, and he could barely keep his footing. He looked everywhere for Isabella, but she was nowhere to be found. He called out her name, but she didn't respond. Despair overtook him as he realized he was too late. The waves had carried her away.

The time traveler sobbed as he sat on a nearby rock. He had failed in his mission, and Isabella was no longer with him. Then he wandered around aimlessly like a broken arrow. Too hard broken. As he was walking along the beach, suddenly he heard some noise from a tiny island not far from the shore. He squinted, trying to make out any details, and then he noticed a lady, resemble of Isabella, playing with a group of dolphins like they were best friends.

His heart pounded in his chest as he squinted, trying to make sense of what he was seeing in the distance. Was that her? Could Isabella have survived the tsunami? The mere thought filled him with a mix of fear and hope, and without a second thought, the time travelers leaped into action.

He swam into the rough waters, struggling his way toward the small island in the distance. His eyes were fixed on the figure on the shore, his heart racing but feeling hopeful at the same time. He had to know for sure if it was her.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he reached the island. And there she was - Isabella, alive and well, standing on the shore with a group of dolphins. The sight of her filled him with an overwhelming sense of relief and joy, and he rushed towards her, calling her name out loud with his heart bursting with emotion.

As they embraced, the time traveler couldn't believe his luck. He had found his love, and they were together once more. It was a miracle, and he felt grateful beyond measure. All the pain and fear melted away as they held each other, surrounded by the beauty of the island and the creatures that had saved her. It was a moment that he would never forget. The dolphins circled in the water, seemingly enjoying their reunion.

Isabella looked him in the eyes and smile. She asked him to sit down by the palm tree so she could explain what had happened to her. Isabella revealed that the dolphins had rescued her when the waves swept her during the tsunami. They delivered her to the island, waiting for somebody to come by the island.

After a lengthy detail exchange between them, they decided to spend the rest of the day on the island, fishing with the dolphins and exploring their new surroundings. As the sun began to set, the time traveler knew that it was time to go back to his own time, but he promised Isabella that he would return for her.

He stepped into the time-turner, and once again, everything went blurry. As he was transported back to his own time, he felt a sense of hope and optimism. Isabella was alive and well, and he knew that they would be together again one day when he returns to the island to rescue his beloved, Isabella.
