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

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWG4BnoNIy

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

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaxtSLIWRt

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

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjFnv38tfN

— 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

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1tbnh3yzj

— 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

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiayfFJ14R

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVULNxTIL5

she knew they were real by her visions),

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPz4ih06p2

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 —

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMrRHGGWHf

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,

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXviDUsP6h

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.

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrx605nZXk

(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?)

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotwwXeyas4

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.

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnroM6XWLpN

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNma08Mf0tW

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpGfwmkpv1

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ5Vuqw0G0

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 —

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJMj0IKU26

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioenFrlqPQ

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGdFp1n4dq

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

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