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

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00DVAtDil2

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

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc1Umnfm4r

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

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0HoqJ3gDY

— 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

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45nZ5J7JNs

— 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

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ373KxKy7cr

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpzd6Yr3BD

she knew they were real by her visions),

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0tKoEva0X

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 —

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijKtLdWaLG

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,

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyraEdG8eqe

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.

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdTLYlFySd

(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?)

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsTFr7XWbA

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.

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LHRS4B6Q

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWLH36ukx

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDQoxwusA7

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmVwhjUaik

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 —

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjDdwiGpjY

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58YmzCDsdC

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USxWFWwH9

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

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