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

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVTVz62Lir

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

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqoHILBDTh

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

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8vrL45Tw

— 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

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmieUrsMQD

— 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

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5HLU8fAAm

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaPMpaVcsc

she knew they were real by her visions),

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEneO5FM4kJ

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 —

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2KXDm1x7l

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,

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDifROP8taW

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.

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmGquUAHSi

(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?)

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOWWesjlk6

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.

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYL9HnRmK1

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRJX9FAerj

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKdri7BOZv

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl46jbwx7MB

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 —

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rbywvH1I

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvia70wPx3S

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOqtAzKeLF

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

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