“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

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikU4wTWKPQ

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

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujB7Vo48DP

— 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

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOICrRiW6M0

— 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

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocUIPIvOYk

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMexDfHJP

she knew they were real by her visions),

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDRYT1XgWs

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 —

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimtojDVqr

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,

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8fScqpaEp

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?)

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EW3vOH6ho

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.

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS5ZvsEXmy

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcKhFQ5q6

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq7FSD2vnZ

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcssgwLOC

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 —

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDvY188bzO

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJNTq26kRl

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

525Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BV9h8Rmih

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

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