Here are some rules to writing prophecies

@Crisis

Number one: No, it doesn't have to rhyme. The traditional prophecy at least has a rhythm, but you do you!
Number two: It has to be mysterious. It doesn't have to be so complex, but it can't be crystal clear either. It has to be unweaved throughout the story.

And three: it has to have at least one really stupid rhyme.

are these the unbreakable prophecies like in Greek mythology or the ones that only sort of apply like in the Norse?

@Crisis

It depends on what you are writing. I try to keep them pretty general, though

OK. I was just wondering because prophecy mechanics differs a lot throughout the world. its kind of funny to look at really.
