Prophecies never lie. In fiction, especially [[Fantasy]], a prophecy is equivalent to [[Because Destiny Says So|destiny]]. Prophecy is never wrong, oracles are never false, prophets never turn out to be deluded and "predictions" never turn out to be political allegories of the time they were written in. If they weren't, [[Law of Conservation of Detail|why even bring them up in the first place?]] Prophecies, furthermore, are always believed, except by those who simply don't like what is predicted, or [[The Chosen One]] who [[Refusal of the Call|can't accept his fate]]. They may [[Prophecy Twist|twist]], they may [[Either or Prophecy|have loopholes]], they can even [[Prophetic Fallacy|be misleading]], but in the end, the prophecy ''is'' fate, and [[You Can't Fight Fate|you can't fight it]].
