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

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFovYbK9XBY

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

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTtE1ziOUh

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

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM0hn6ZS8h

— 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

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOAKB5V0IJ

— 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

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbBUgRPAS

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMP1ZD5UdR

she knew they were real by her visions),

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0NQx3h1f

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 —

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgT3TfpwZL

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,

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus5z3ENRto

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.

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfBpB9mwX9

(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?)

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkEwwQncfJ

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.

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ5IjEpHL0

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14meTMmjxR

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBeNotnMp8

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yqsQfgplv

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 —

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1hIDDskn9

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2qeiWw7Y

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksm8eEtXo5

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

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