Here is a prophecy, I have written for my book-
The end of the traitorous one shall come
For the Guardian blood, is its sum
In hand, with Ragnarok's Blade
Shall it with him, cross into Death's glade
Endless slumber awaits both, marked upon by the ancient one's oath
Is this a good Prophecy?, please give feedback
Lots of us have read book with prophecies, so how much importance do you think they hold? What do you think a good prophecy should have and comprise of?
I would remove 'one' from either the first sentence or the last-the last is longer so it could go there, though personally I feel
'the end for the traitor has come
....
marked by the ancient one's oath'
sounds better, I think. hope that helps, though its not an answer to your question.
I think a good prophecy should sound both terrifying and mystical-with more than one way to interpret it.
