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

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvsCDMoW2M

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

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZSesBYqf6

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

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ybJNVkfT

— 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

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznjKsDSYdW

— 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

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM3mXWlLtF

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVL7QDfldV

she knew they were real by her visions),

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBQBgqlLbr

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 —

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5xjhCKIer

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,

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw9kO5Ctxo

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.

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJQJr0VttF

(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?)

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcbTh3XqWR

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.

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uctYnFj52

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aWHfKWYX

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpLvkkOiQg

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdi6g4qHO6

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 —

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn4AMxGz4A

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfhaVRdzv

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc1jHur33j

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

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