Prophecies are rarely interesting because they are true. They get interesting when someone decides they are useful.

In fantasy, the real power often sits with the people who can quote the prophecy, trim it, translate it badly, or leave out the awkward line at the end. A mystical certainty is tidy. A political tool is messier, and usually more believable.

The best versions feel less like fate and more like control dressed up as destiny. That seems closer to how power works, even in a world with dragons.
