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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARoU50i9T6

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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hosb7mEyt

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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja07ohPSKB

— 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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MV2GqWLM

— 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

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBveAw6ovk7

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwBFbhfKa

she knew they were real by her visions),

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctP6S9mp1I

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 —

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaRSaNg5Nj

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,

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvTNyG94A

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.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4px3rlu5q

(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?)

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSI1GWwFwU

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.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwBmkDSRmT

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtZzCUUZs

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UjdHLInee

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd38skrDyiJ

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 —

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaoCQ8pCM7

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuz8FM2wMn

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCqzprjlLD

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

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