Why, what if you tried to predict the future? What if you made a prophecy? After it becomes known, who’s to say that the simple act of learning a prophecy wouldn’t change the outcome? It’s just simply a silly notion that anyone (myself included) could predict the future. I know you look up to the great mage Nicholas but his prophecies aren’t exactly accurate. You must have realized this as you read, Millie. Surely you’ve read the rest of the tales written in that book, and not just the one about the dark mage Anya.
