Luna awoke, her eyes felt weary as if she had kept them open for several nights gazing at some book. The ground beneath her felt rather hard, but it wasn't cold at all, in fact it was a bit above what she felt was the current room temperature. Luna noticed she wasn't on Hogwarts cold floors, and Luna would know this for she had spent more than a few nights locked out of the tower.
Luna sat up, for she did not need to spend time theorizing where she was when she could just sit up, open her eyes and take a good look around.
She almost wished she hadn't. Luna was sitting on a platform, who knows how high inside the sky that it rose. The platform she was on was made of a metallic-like glass that was slightly see through. That wasn't so bad, but the pillars that rose infinitely high into the sky, and sunk infinitely low into the non-existent ground were odd. She could see pillars that went down infinitely, and knew they were there even though she could not logically see them.
The pillars were made out of the same strange glass she was perched upon, but they were also much more than that, many different things were embedded or a part of the pillar. Biplanes, Skyscrapers, homes, blood, and so many different varying things, Animals seemed to sometimes be a part of these horrible pillars, some of them looked quite alive, moving around and obviously breathing, some of them were quite dead, their bodies ragdolled, a few of them were stock still, not dead but not alive, as if they were a frame of that particular moment in time .
Luna shuddered, some animals had obviously been cut by the other objects that were a part of the pillars and had long since bled out. Luna also spotted some Humans, and a couple Elves. The Humans looked like a picture of Voldemort's pale snake-like form she had seen in the Daily Prophet. (for what better way to intimidate the masses than give an interview?), but they looked wrong. As if they had been bent just past something that made them truly human. The Elves looked surprisingly normal, except that their eyes were pure black and the clothes they wore were of the darkest reds.
Luna decided that it would be best if she stayed away from them for now, and so she stood up. The pillar she appeared to be on was completely plain, except for the fact that it was a circle instead of the hexagon like shape that all the other pillars seemed to be.
The circular pillar she stood on appeared to be about the length and width of the dorm room she shared with the other girls in Ravenclaw. Several platforms of varying widths linked the pillar she was on with other pillars, and some led out to thin air. Upon further investigation many other pillars had platforms leading to other pillars, some pillars were humongously large and seemed to have many rooms and were closer to towers than a single solid pillar, while some seemed as thin as a nail. It was confusing and strange that this had escaped her notice when she had first looked around.
Luna dreaded the idea of exploring this vast land of odd pillars and platforms, but she didn't have much choice did she?
Luna started walking towards a platform, thinking of how she might as well start now rather than later, after a second of walking Luna felt a soft thud as her shoe bumped into something. Her sketchbook lied there open on the floor, it's page open to her drawing of that hallway that had started this whole mess. There was something off about it, it took Luna a couple moments to notice but she noticed the oval shaped eyes and almost all of the messages were gone.
Luna dismissed this mystery for another time, and grabbed the notebook, for who knew how often she would get paper in this strange land?
