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

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CIUuZ8xsF

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

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJicuwhaMx

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

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LM0vtVlK1

— 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

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3JTarOeLC

— 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

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wulif8bN5

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNcjaQrTq0

she knew they were real by her visions),

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLdKOhIGzD

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 —

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5dPlLmyYG

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,

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnFCN9SfAO

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.

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKyWUfAzSR

(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?)

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp20pYIvrp3

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.

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBOeEun7sh

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6MAlGRsJc

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCbze5Hnq

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv1JMtimuY

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 —

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlXZ8refrp

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCuRU3hhn2

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

557Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7RdJiFbZ

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

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