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

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwrL6b1XkF

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

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PNsGSlG3n

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

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4BtEIyTX9

— 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

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo27NRmg2S

— 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

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVg4dJcO26

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X3cH8OvD2

she knew they were real by her visions),

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzUhYJujrX

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 —

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZnhKpQxX

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,

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxpVHKqs46

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.

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b8aOMvJcf

(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?)

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdrBsDGht

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.

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJdnnMeKuH

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnwZ97O4M

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt6Pm03e7W

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAFNo29dE5

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 —

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWwYFReSip

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKb7M89u5

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6epupUuHs

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

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