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

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuRlnmOcGY

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

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7N5fMNlaz

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

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKgIVS6hRq

— 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

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqUVVEdhle

— 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

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINDfPMaer

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj3E2waviQ

she knew they were real by her visions),

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94QJW5EMjc

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 —

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zl7f8hxBM

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,

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQuRhaSqiG

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.

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUTrrdTBtK

(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?)

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW29kTEvd3

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.

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4grRzQBZ7

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjRE9ITPWf

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmvRX1TZ6P

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB4Smz69ow

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 —

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBEyaV2VVr

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3UxYzW0O1

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmr3QqE476

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

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