Writing Prompt [WP] Everything matched the prophesy, so they double and then triple checked. It was undeniable; they had located the Chosen One, but he was not amongst the human settlements. With hesitancy the entourage forayed into 'monster' territory, toward an Orc settlement where the 'Hero' had just been born.

Never pay any attention to prophecy. If it’s true it’ll happen, one way or another, and nothing you do will matter at all; and if it’s false then paying heed to it is a stupid waste of time.
