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

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXknJUlct

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

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkON7h5Mp02

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

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9geKMAplt

— 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

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRyRDcKDWs

— 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

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4VydxsFMp

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUA2A4CfPd

she knew they were real by her visions),

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pCLnuCuHJ

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 —

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3pz0yqtEo

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,

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwYn286vYb

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.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrkKqq0bEI

(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?)

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrF8TVlTP7

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.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWffGmjxog7

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMsdADsInr

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0tWFxmCG

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7nl6YJctO

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 —

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC19z7o2qm

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ00ccfsGr

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9flU4I8Mqi

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

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