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

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHesFWytva

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

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMn419We8f

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

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEJtHIg19W

— 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

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV9cskgZSa

— 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

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ernorH9Q

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelEyg3t5Hh

she knew they were real by her visions),

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdjOMjja56

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 —

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqaaPrZsz

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,

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhotvuU8Emc

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.

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzsBbUMdo

(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?)

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZxOeJjRY9

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.

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLOKl0WOdB

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsR6iMjhHV

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4COuGib0Mf

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduKRi6Nfub

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 —

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAsaiFZ3Uq

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqy0wfq9aS

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cYoenDi64

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

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