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

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

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapqR0MfuMW

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

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoOjrTGtlS

— 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

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMP5MWu8PV

— 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

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vjUVzRtKj

she knew they were real by her visions),

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 —

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo6PBdnllH

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,

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRLG86kDnc

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.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6NX8MBlb

(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?)

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei1vlqMOuM

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.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bhwHksXd0

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5oN9jt7hc

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedRNbokf5x

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQp8mKoQk

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 —

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GVqZcBQKB

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssmGFFjh3A

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GfNb7SD7u

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

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