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

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvnzs1LDS

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

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn5szOzluE

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

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE12xZAxevR

— 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

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVysmzydrYk

— 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

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVc4Qt6mo1

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB70LPrRHH

she knew they were real by her visions),

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7RQW1bDXC

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 —

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB0X9IIBq0

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,

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2NB40De9l

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.

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6x634OVKS

(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?)

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMwT4xOYyt

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.

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TBOmFktVl

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZty5XFoS

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0goBgmSRF6

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1m0HVprhy

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 —

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKjQRZxGM

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkBSEir9Zz

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWNn8TbjHU

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

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