《How to Create a Purrfect Prophecy》What is a prophecy, anyway?
Advertisement
So, you've created a character, and now you're ready to begin? Alright! Great! Let's just get right into it, why don't we?
First, let's look at some canon prophecies:
"Fire alone can save our Clan."
"Four will become two, Lion and Tiger will meet in battle, and blood will rule the forest."
"Darkness, Air, Water, and Sky will come together and shake the forest to its roots."
Every time you read these, they just got you, right? You were probably confused. Well, that's the main purpose of a prophecy. The prophecy in your story is meant to captivate the audience. This means that the prophecy should keep your readers entertained and interested, urging them to turn the page in your book.
The prophecy should foreshadow the future. If your prophecy is done correctly, it will make the reader think about the future in the book. If they have questions, they will be more tempted to continue reading so that they can get answers. Foreshadowing could be at the end of a chapter: "...But things were about to get much worse." Another example of foreshadowing could be: "Things could only get better. Right?" See? What questions do you have?
-"What's going to happen?"
-"What will go wrong?"
-"Will (situation) get worse?"
These foreshadowing situations feel ominous, or like it's only going to go further downhill.
See? The prophecy determines whether or not your book is worth reading. Thats why you need to plan them! So, without further ado, lett uce (again?) begin!

Feathery Delight
The world has been hard on young Kael. Living his life on the streets, Looking for a way out he tries many things to change his destiny, only to be met with failure again and again. Wallowing in self-loathing, he lives his days without much purpose or motivation. Life, however, had other plans. On a rainy night of watching life pass him by, an explosion suddenly rips our young protagonist out of the bland world he knew. Meeting an old man claiming to be able to use magic, will his life finally change? Will the world finally give him a chance? This is a complete rewrite of my earlier story. Aside from my own personal problems with depression, there were many, many things I came to dislike about the way it was progressing. With the low quality of the earlier chapters, it was in dire need of at least an editing run. Instead of just editing the subpar chapters, I decided to just do it over again and change what I did not like. Please also note that I am not a native English speaker and thus might make mistakes. I have tried hard to find and correct most, but I am certainly not perfect.If you notice anything that is wrong just leave a comment below the chapter and I will try to get to it.
