“A poem discovered in Misram in 127 A.D. (After the Destruction)”

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafijQrcin

In a land thought unknown, near the Elysian Grove,

there lived a half-mortal named Medeva, and

‘though her husband forbade it, she practiced strong magic —

kept a collection of spells on her walls

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXj2mMKxr

wrapped up in scrolls, bound in thick leather tomes,

secrets that had been forbidden,

indexed according to author’s last name, the archivist

kept them locked and well-hidden

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8XrOKVWlQ

— words of a prince who led Valentian ships,

recollects the rites of a priestess,

who carried on-board a metaphorical sword,

prayers to the weather and east wind

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqd9luSGpE

— tales of a people who lived in steel cities,

written down by authors unnamed,

revealed the secrets of gods they worshipped,

now dead, Medeva watched over their graves

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQwDwlIBs

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx9OpD98N5

she knew they were real by her visions),

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYk0XFeSMD

their poems by Kemetians,

the songs of their heavens,

the mouths of their angels in chariots,

her scrolls had been filled with a divine set of skills

passed down by a collection of ancients —

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEonFH3UNZ0

the man she wed known as Jason

the Dread, a member of the Society of Alchemists,

believed her magic was a fool's task, an errand,

passed down from dead preachers of treason,

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDoC5cbsJZ

so they scoured the house, searched for hours and found

a door veiled by a sky-blue woolen rug

spun in a circle and woven in the center — a medallion

from a story the bards sung.

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDzfnBvDHV

(what if they’d known of that secret legend,

would they have recognized a warning to turn

around? known of that violet iris blooming inside

a diamond studded silver crown?)

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0aMVKJH2x

but some know nothing of Mystery,

of that which resides in the Unknown,

and therefore will fail to discover the source

of that which calls out from their bones.

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2wJRGBL4p

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQqA0EcN2w

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoIGocxSdA

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nf4lXwH38

not a single book she’d forgotten,

not even a single line,

knew she must have taken them with her

— this future, she had divined —

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0KzbrvVXD

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ23hEH05p

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P8cthq2AQ

Those halls were made of granite, they knew of no escape;

realized long before they got there, she chose to seal their fate.
