How to write a prophecy?

[m{BeatleBabe}m]

I need to write a prophecy in my story(I know it's cliche, but...)and I'm having trouble writing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A prophecy? As in foretelling the future? Just sit down and imagine something that could happen. You might want to think on things that people have for told in the past that came true--Jeanne Dixon for told of President Kennedy's assassination any number of times before it happened. I for told of a friend's death at the age of 15. We had no idea she had a heart problem and she was carried in during an emergency situation, they operated on her and she died on the table. I knew it ahead of time, I felt it, but nobody believed me.

I'm not sure how you would find them, where, but I also understand there were many predictions about the Titanic sinking. But there is certainly enough material available.

Google "prophecy" and see what comes up!

Good luck.

Be very vague, use an old fashioned and overly-formal tone, and use lots of hyperbole.

I'm also trying to write a propchey for my story. the propchey was told 22 years ago at the Prince's birth. That someone would rule for almost 22 years when a girl from another world will arrive in Ellabur. She will help the prince regain his throne. and I don't know if I need to mention True Love's kiss.

I know prophacy is hard. the Sword of Truth books have a good take on prophacy, mainly the second and fourth ones. But there helpful and really good. Heres one from the 2nd book.

"Of all there were, but a single one born of the magic to bring forth truth will remain alive when the shadow's threat is lifted. Therefore comes the greater darkness of the dead. For there to be a chance at life's bond, this one in white must be offered to her people, to bring their joy and good cheer."

If you want to have a phrophacy its good to have the characters known for something.

And from the 4th book

"On the red moon will come the firestorm. The one bonded to the blade will watch as his people die. If he does nothing, then he, and all those he loves will die in its heat, for no blade, forged of steel or conjured of sorcery can, touch this foe. To quench the inferno, he must seek the remedy in the wind. Lightning will find him on that path, for the one in white, his true beloved, will betray him in her blood."

The one in white being what the character is known for.
