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

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyPQMxftaQ

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

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfU1RLAr4Q

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

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjlg3lqM9E

— 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

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zTTFOjs8Z

— 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

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMfnbSLbDi

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHp1SmXY75

she knew they were real by her visions),

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxY5mlM8Dg

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 —

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfdT70v7st

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,

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDI8omjeH

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.

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLLwS6YCGc

(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?)

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwBJGyjnZb

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.

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgDhlwUsyh

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNNG5DYWAV

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcgCr0AkPu

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tqpiGpHcL

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 —

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rIPMXAktj

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ExeWho23

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZKMczBygN

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

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