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

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFnistlt1b

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

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEdT4CAG3c

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

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQqzn6Zf2O

— 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

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN21zZ5hwgO

— 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

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJJnIUdprv

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v2C7BTKYg

she knew they were real by her visions),

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZgvveStqr

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 —

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Aovol0Xu

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,

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsaf07Od1z

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.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3EwNwgVp

(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?)

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIYdm0tdBR

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.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274KMrW0Oi

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYo9rtPfRK

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WD0iB7CWf

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniZVPtuThv

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 —

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLyBVUmndc

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVeA2YRkfB

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVGwJEhJqN

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

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