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

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjstqja50x

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

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg4ldEy5vX

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

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG7y1irph0

— 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

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8s5l8zWNj

— 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

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3loOeVfrom

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSuJmMoBjn

she knew they were real by her visions),

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk2ogNjjTe

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 —

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwysYd7ruT

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,

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1wCSZ2Zur

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.

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJOZT5B7i

(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?)

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPPH1HugNJ

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.

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnkRgBBE49

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQLsKaT1NA

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Vckwt8LZ

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwBbW0HJV

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 —

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOUgU9i9nt

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwzlmgq7d

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqSzIeetg

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

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