“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

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygPrO52OXv

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

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQbqyh3fiv

— 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

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Kd1jw4op

— 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

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfKkPIsZe

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazTRyCv8nu

she knew they were real by her visions),

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuKNMn28ia

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 —

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4GYf1afTw

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,

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyr2V8vUw

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.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEM3z8g2Ko

(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?)

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8brI9BeWH

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.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wt5XCzoUJ

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2zzcdhylr

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBzbFqQQd

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrybJOAHHpc

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 —

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WCtWH2Gjf

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8mHi5qFmZ

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub5qD74pv1

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

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