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

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6jgUjNFl8

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

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQJoow08v6

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

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55xtos8Dsy

— 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

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4RBbKHoVx

— 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

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6WXkNfPt

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrA1XdFTKq

she knew they were real by her visions),

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74FFbFqISX

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 —

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14tPg7vg7G

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,

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuhkSM0feP

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.

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKawtbJYJE1

(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?)

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IUfx5IdzZ

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.

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYwStS7FNY

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh48XO6Yp6

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpHNS9NlVf

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWur4JwjSu

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 —

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOUygQU1qa

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMurXyD0t4r

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDznTziyr

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

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