Defying the Prophecy

Your main character is trapped by a dreadful prophecy. Write a story about how they defy this prophecy.

This prompt deals with the idea of prophecies, free will, and destiny. In your narrative, depict a protagonist who’s confined by a dire prophecy hanging over their head like a damocles sword. How does this prophecy affect them? What measures do they undertake to defy it? And what’s the cost? This instigates exploration into themes of resilience, rebellion, fate, and also raises questions about predestined courses versus personal choices.
