The Jade Mountain Prophecy

The Jade Mountain Prophecy was a prophecy given by Moon at the end of Moon Rising and in the beginning of Winter Turning, predicting the destruction of Jade Mountain unless the Lost City of Night could be found. This prophecy is described as the first true NightWing prophecy in generations. Many people believe that the second verse's first two lines refer to the Orb in the Sky, as well as the "stalker of dreams" either being Darkstalker or Ex-Queen Scarlet, although Flame was theorized to be both the "stalker of dreams" and the "darkness of dragons" by Darkstalker. He had also said that Darkstalker himself is the "something is coming to shake the earth" when he was first released from his slumber. The "talons of power and fire" is theorized to be Anemone and Peril though Turtle's animus powers were taken away by Darkstalker. Some people also think that "Beware the talons of power and fire" refers to the group The Talons of Power. Some even believe that the "one who is not what she seems" is Anemone as she was revealed to not be an animus by blood but instead enchanted by Turtle to have the power. It is likely that Pyrite is the "one who is not what she seems" as she is not Pyrite but Hailstorm.

Interpretations

Beware the stalker of dreams, - The darkness in all dragons, King Darkstalker, or Flame.

Beware the stalker of dreams, - Flame or Scarlet because of the way they used dreamvisitors.

Beware the talons of power and fire, - Anemone (talons of power) and Peril (talons of fire). It may also mean the group called the Talons of Power instead of Anemone.

Beware one who is not what she seems. - Pyrite, Sora, Onyx, Cobra or Anemone.

Something is coming to shake the earth, - Some think it is the flying object ("the fourth moon") or Darkstalker.

Something is coming to scorch the ground. - It may be Vulture's SandWing army, or Darkstalker, again.

Jade Mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice - Qibli's storm (summoned with Anemone's weather bracelets), and the IceWings

Unless the lost city of night can be found. - Unknown, perhaps Qibli using the soul reader that Darkstalker made to distract him.
