“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

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpVT3dmG06

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

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme85KSjglL

— 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

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rMwnD9lSK

— 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

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ1fmZ3bVf

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGhkmmqzPS

she knew they were real by her visions),

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7fz8fOTiC

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 —

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZV9eD0YKf

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,

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rI1emT5jm

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.

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3BMXKcRT9

(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?)

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdwDL0XEMw

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.

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl14O2JFp0

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKjn5Nx0Ur

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqO02Fugir

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E4iWZ7YWl

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 —

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklTYYyxoU

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fYQgXcewP

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltQC5LFAJ

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

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