Snippet #2689437

After Luna was done taking a look around she immediately tried to make a run for this mysterious pond, until a sharp pain rang out from her right leg. "Ah shit!" she yelled aloud as she fell down to the gorund and hugged hwhat felt like her sprained anxle to her body. She had had sprained anxles many times before but for some odd reason this time felt as if her whole leg was on fire. She couldn't think past the pain for what felt like several hours, until finally it began to slowly pace away, but she found walking was now slow and strenuous.

The landscape around her was even more enticing up close, but it held an errie happiness to it; colors were a bit too vibrant, the smell a bit too sweet, and its source of light was more of a cold flourescent white from a bulb than the warm golden yellow rays of a real sun. It felt as if someone tried to create an oasis but went a bit overboard. All-in-all it made Luna crave the darkness and heat of her homeland down under, no matter how cruel and evil her own brethern were to her- at least their she was in a place she was familiar with. Now everytime she turned around something new ws happening to either her surroundings or herself, nothing stayed the same for too long. She suspected she would soon be riped from this world and into a new form of Hell in the near future, if she could only find were the damn pond was that fueled this diamond crusted shit-whole.

Her rage threatened to overcome her yet again but swiftly died down as she made it to the top of a particularly steep hill, overlooking more lush green valleys and trees with the object of her desire staring her right back in the face, the pond. True to the bird creature's description it was indeed dark, so dark in fact that she could not tell how deep it was or even see any ripples forming. Yet her ears picked up on the sound of the pond lapping against it's bank, but no light could bounce off ts surface and show the movement of the water, this greatly disturbed her, for nothing like this was common even in her home. With great effort she slowly hoppled closer and closer, noting how everything around it took on an extremely pale look, as if the very life and color of the plants were being sucked out of it and absorbed but the inky black void beyond. A smell permeated the surrounding area and Luna dared not breath one more whiff of it so she completly took off her shirt and wrapped it around her nose and mouth as best she could.

She arrived to the very edge of the pond sooner than she would have liked and for a few long moments she simply stared at the strange portal with a sense of fear that she had never experienced before. Not even the presence of The Man made her stomach twist or her vision sway as much as this, it was paralyzing, but when her eyes closed she found the will and with one final breath she prepared to dive.
