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

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9V4pRlWnZ

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

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50HNio6EM

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

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUQnxHx0we

— 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

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOPUeUePN

— 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

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVj9UixQM

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevOjm99jOE

she knew they were real by her visions),

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq4r1piubq

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 —

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcdW8rPfyD

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,

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDdzBfWEai

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.

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFn9l1afvT

(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?)

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjbJAfcPwb

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.

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rd9G7vE0e

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYwRbK48cr

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAT0t0BpmK

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB6wM5N1Jh

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 —

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2BTXizC7

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42b86wPZ7q

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHztWa55Cl

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

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