Prophecies

## Meryan's First Prophecy

"A word of advice, then, Calvin the Innocent. You would best be to go back to your tannery in the south if you wish to remain such. The Dragon bares its Fang, the Star Knight has found his Aegis. The False Prophet walks and the Traitor kneels before the Saintkiller, the Chain of the World awaits the Covenant Bearer and Warden awaits fear. The Puppeter and the Lady of Fear reunite. The Storyteller has fled, the Bard is chained to futility, the Scorpion hides its tail and the Lion prowls. A petty evil rises from the sea and the Lord of Truth conceals it, while the Anchor rejoices and the Queen of Crows invites fire. The Mantis prepares, the Viper cries, the Caretaker plots, the Oligarch doubts and the Raptor cannot fly. Armageddon’s Vanguard rides, the Desperate Soul waits and the Horned Owl watches everything. The Architect has built a throne for the King of Nothing and there are centipedes everywhere, Doomed One.”

## Meryan's Second Prophecy

"When there is no one and nothing, you will find aid, Doomed One. Trust the King of Nothing. The Star Knight must not succeed. The False Prophet is in danger, and the One Who Leads begins his ascent. The Traitor is chained, and the Oligarch does not speak the truth. Do not fear the Sea, it is the Dragon who imperils all. The Horned Owl will act, and the Puppeteer plays dangerous games. Do not heed the Desperate Soul."

## Jesse's Traitor Prophecy

“Beware the traitor. Beware the one who clothes himself as enemy, arising from the dark to sunder the truth at the hour of revival. That which was shattered can be repaired. The keys, the mementos five, they survive, nascent. Guarded, untouched, they are stone. But greed awakens them. Those who ever hunger for power can unlock the Web, not truly shattered but merely unwoven. “But the traitor. The traitor, living in the skin of the dead, turns on his people. The war is lost and the traitor sees triumph. He will destroy everything, make true the revelation of lies.

"He will kneel before them, he will serve them, he will love them. They will harm him, they will chain him, they will destroy him, and still he will choose them, he will elevate them, he will make of them what they are not meant to be. "Betrayal will know him and he it. They will turn away from him, make silent his pleas, smear his purity and peddle his power. And still will he save them, still will he damn his people. Beware the traitor, lest he be your destruction.”

## Jesse's Second Prophecy

“The Lord of the Burned House will see the world devoured. The Oligarch will defend the King of Nothing. The Liar will doom the Doomed One. The Prophet will open the door. And creation will crumble at its foundations as the world cries for death.”[1]

## Jesse's Third Prophecy

“Derel’s plan is to use the five stones to bring back the Web, restore his power and return the world to the age of gods, where humans were subjugated. If he does that…” Jesse wasn’t looking at anything in particular now. “The world will end.”

Jesse had said he was an oracle. “Is that a prophecy?”

“Yes. One I delivered just after Derel died. He’s working on partial information, which is also my fault. I delivered some prophecies to him about the stones that I didn’t realize didn’t have all the information in them. He won’t listen to me anymore, Cal.”

## Notes

[1] It is noted that Jesse is using Meryan's metaphors here, instead of his own usual way of prophesizing.
