Prologue-The Prophecy
When one peers into the future the visions they see are not always what will come to pass, or what is destined to be. The truth about destiny is that there are multiple variations to what will be. Yes, it is true when a prophecy says this person will have a great destiny, they will. However the truth is for what it is never certain one can ever be certain. For you see a great destiny could be good or bad. Prophets only see one of many endings they do not see nor care about the journey that brings them to that point. For it is ones choices that shape which destiny's end comes true.
Such is true of my last prophecy almost 17 years ago tonight. It had been a dark and stormy night when she came before me, almost 7 months with child and fearful of what the future might hold for the child. Her husband had recently died and she was all alone, with an unbearable burden I listened as she spoke, wanting to know what the child was what was its future?
As she told me her story it stuck me something I had never encounter before, I pitied the young woman. She had been asked to carry so much and lost even more than I could imagine any mortal to be asked burden on ones on. In my centuries of giving answered I never pitied or cared before, however this time was different. . . . .
As she finished I spoke," To answer your first question, your child will survive the birthing process. You will have a beautiful redheaded daughter; she will have your grace and will as great of a warrior as her father. She will be a major factor in bringing peace to Eternos. "I told her as she arose glad that I did not have a face to betray what I was feeling.
"Thank you great Oracle of Ages, you have lifted a heavy burden off my shoulders." The young Sorceress of Greyskull said standing up fully before the glowing orb her stomach looked to be swollen the size of a small watermelon. She wiped her tears and smiled feeling a world of relief. Her husband was dead and she feared this child would either die in child birth or be horribly affected by living in Greyskull all this time. Such power that flowed through that place and through her could seriously alter a tiny innocent life.
The orb took all this in and wondered if it was doing the right thing. Yes the girl would bring a final peace to the planet but how she did it and which end would yet to determined" Go now Zoar and rejoice in two months time you will be holding your daughter." The orb continued in its emotionless voice. She smiled then bid the Oracle farewell and returned to her duties.
"You lied to her; I thought you were beyond such trivial slights." Zodiac's voice whispered lightly through the air. The Cosmic Warrior had been watching the Teelian Sorceress of Greyskull. For someone who was never to feel or interfere with anything this tall dark haired man dressed in a sliver armor suit had been watching with a great deal of interest the events of the last few years. He had been the one who introduced Teelina to Dannon at her request, but he had done it rather grudgingly. He watched them grow close despite his own feelings for her. He was there when they married and began a life together. And he was there after the Dannon died, watching her suffer from loss and the joyous grief of being with child. He h ad seen it all.
"That is something no person should be burdened with, plus she will have more on her hands than should be allowed, this would be too much, even for her." The oracle replied with a hint of worry in his voice.
"You and I both know what she is about to bring into this world, she should be made aware the consequences of her choices." Zodiac snorted angrily as he now fully appeared in the room beside the glowing ball of light. "You are the Oracle of Ages,
"You are just jealous my friend, that the child she carries is not yours but Dannon's. You wished she would have fallen-"The Oracle was cut short. As the Cosmic warrior rounded and stood before the glowing ball of light with a deadly serious look on his face.
"Then tell me what you should have told her. Tell of the child who can either save or destroy us, all" This had been something the Oracle had never seen before, the great Cosmic Warrior, the Ancient known as Zodiac was kneeling before its alter.
"Very well born in two months time, a girl child, daughter of Greyskull and the warrior-sorcerer Dannon will bring about the destruction of or the salvation of planet Eternia. The last of the Ancients she will possess the powers of creation and destruction. The girl known as Teela will come into her powers soon after her 17th birthday. Accidental betrayal by those she trust and loves will lead to her Ascension and her true powers revealed for all their horror and glory.
After this point she will vanish for a short time before returning to right all the wrong done to her. Her choices from there on will determine for good or bad the fate of this world. Her path at times is lonely and filled with much peril, but it is her price she pays for being the daughter of Greyskull. The only hope lies in her second coming with the illness of a friend; she will be able, if the variables are right, can things be put right. Be warned however; when she is revealed evil will not sleep till they have her for their own. Much danger for her and all her loved ones I foresee." The Oracle of Ages said in a rhythmic flat tone.
"Seventeen years . . . "Zodiac's voice trailed off into the time.
