“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

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3bRNHDEGC

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

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY55wiVWcqi

— 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

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI3uivLZhi

— 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

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2j7VzTbnc

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgnlYlsok

she knew they were real by her visions),

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgND48QS2KZ

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 —

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJzoH2Ch4r

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,

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HawBPqQ2

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.

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz8mXA5XE9

(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?)

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuNd8xMyC2

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.

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvkJOlqMr

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ikoy4QmT7

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ltfffGYKe

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrWnEDZzd9

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 —

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6wL66rQr3

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz6oHXjCLB

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBv07SQiRi

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

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