Writing craft #1 ~ Obscure Prophecy ~
How to craft an obscure prophecy.
1) Start with generic prophecy.
quote: The dark lord shall win unless the heir of blood wields the sword of light against him in the final battle
2) Babel fish it repeatedly.
I went Eng > Spa, Spa > Eng, Eng > Ger > Fre, Fre > Eng.
3) You have an obscure random prophecy. Here's mine...
quote:
The Mister will turn black when the Heir of blood and of the light rediscovers him in the search history records of old battles.
Hows that for a random prophecy?

Re: Writing craft #1 ~ Obscure Prophecy ~
Awesome!
Here's mine: In the year of the dove the dead shall rise if true king wields not the staff and orb.
eng>dut, dut>eng, eng>russ russ>eng, eng>itl itl>eng
In the year of the where the dead shall laughed if true king wields not the staff and orb.
That was fun!

My prophecy:
Magic will return as the elves leave the one tree.
Eng>Pol Pol>Eng Eng>Rus Rus>Eng Eng>Wel Wel>Eng
The magic returns, as the elves leave one tree.
Mine didn't change that much...
