Ok, so we have Rainpaw, Grasspaw, and Sandfur, right?

Let's say that the outline of our story that we planned at the end of last chapter is that Sandfur is evil and Leafpaw joins her, thinking it is the right choice. Then Rainpaw has to bring Grasspaw back and in the final battle Grasspaw comes back and they beat Sandfur together.

Now, let's sort that out:

"Grass will join sand to rule the forest, but then rain will persuade grass and they will defeat sand at the end of the day."

That is... technically a prophecy, but it could, uh, use some work.

First, let's make the prefixes more obscure. Then the reader will wonder- "What characters are these words portraying?"

"Green will join desert to rule the forest, but then water will persuade green and they will defeat the desert at the end of the day."

Better, but it still sucks pretty bad. What kind of person would read a book with a prophecy like that? Surely not me.

Alright, so what do we do with this?

So, let's make it a bit more obscure. Use different words that could translate but make it harder to guess.

"Green will grow in the desert to rule, but will be washed away by water and together, they will conquer the sand that covers the forest floor."

Harder to guess, right? It's prefect, right??

Well, almost.

Let's shorten it as much as possible and change up a few phrases. Dig deep into your mind for this one.

"Green grows in the desert but will be roused by water. Then together they will wash away the black that rules the forest."

Mysterious, right?

I will say that this is not a top-notch example, but I'll put a few more original prophecies in the upcoming chapter.
