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

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGm7WHrdrm

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

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xDqnGX0MZ

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

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwAelkyI12

— 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

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx2ap1YOqn

— 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

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcy1yahosp

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXGin6vlVV

she knew they were real by her visions),

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiSDYTNsol

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 —

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuHnGqJEm0

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,

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb570qCW3n

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.

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVoQPLUZcA

(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?)

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkUE0ziESm

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.

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveQ3CpP0Iv

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL3DizFSVp

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LfRmdlv4M

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZlvtyiuyr

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 —

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgC4WtARZb

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaVnkWNY4P

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3Z1wy68H

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

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