“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

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qUqCciGjZ

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

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEEkvfFkFE

— 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

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCe1jaIsNU

— 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

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1GayEG2PG

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAj8oydBhV

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 —

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN18vDH37d

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,

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRqeE7ERz1

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.

(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?)

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7k8k8NaZg

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.

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B7l071WZc

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9h68Abvw

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCinr073X

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAFr5QneE

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 —

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNV8dAJuao

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIX0nsijdO

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11qNsX1629

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

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