| |
| Clearsight met Allknowing on her first day of school, in the Tower of Knowledge. Allknowing appeared to detest Clearsight from their first meeting, given her age and ability to search the future. To combat Allknowing's challenge, Clearsight makes three predictions, prompting Allknowing to quote her prophecy: "''[[Dragons|Dragon]] of chaos, tangling the webs, too many eyes and too many threads''." She concluded that her new student's name was Clearsight, much to the awe of her students, [[Jewel-eyes]], [[Vision]], and [[Morrowwatcher]].
| |
|
| |
| Allknowing reappeared later in Queen Vigilance's court, "glittering with poise and diamonds." Clearsight warned Queen Vigilance that the [[IceWings]] were planning an invasion by sea on North Beach. Queen Vigilance, surprised by the simplicity of this prediction, asked Allknowing if she knew of this future. Allknowing replied that she did have such a vision, one about ''waves of ice dragons'' and a ''midnight menace''. Queen Vigilance impolitely complimented Allknowing on her prophecies' poetic nature, proceeding to make Clearsight her new personal seer.
| |
|
| |
| She was later seen when Clearsight had been summoned to Queen Vigilance's court. Queen Vigilance re-appointed Allknowing as her seer, as she gave her a prophecy of [[Darkstalker]] killing the queen and ruling the NightWings. Clearsight had failed to foresee this potential future due to a spell from Darkstalker.
| |
|
| |
| == Prophecies ==
| |
| Allknowing has a signature style of prophecy, written in mediocre poetry devoid of rhythm. She writes these prophecies based on her visions. Other, unspecified prophecies by Allknowing are referenced in ''Darkstalker''.
| |
| {{Prophecies
| |
| |prophecy1 = From far to the north, a prince will arrive, seething with darkness and sparkling with ice. In his blood runs a gift for the whole NightWing tribe, But it comes with a terrible price.
| |
| |meaning1 = [[Arctic]] of the IceWings will come to the Night Kingdom, bringing the gift of [[animus magic]], but cause war. Clearsight also interprets 'a terrible price' as meaning the cost of Arctic's soul, or the price for the dragons who love him. Allknowing interprets the terrible price as the war.
| |
|
| |
| |prophecy2 = Hatched of ice and hatched of night. Cursed with moons all shining bright. Longs for power not his own. Comes to steal your very throne.
| |
| |meaning2 = As the son of Arctic the IceWing and [[Foeslayer]] the NightWing, Darkstalker will be thrice-moonborn and want to become ruler of his [[Lost city of night| kingdom]] even though he is not a NightWing prince, and will attempt to murder his queen to become the king of the NightWings.
| |
|
| |
| |prophecy3 = Dragon of chaos, tangling the webs, Too many eyes and too many threads.
| |
| |meaning3 = Clearsight has an extreme fortune-telling power that she tries to harness to guide [[Pyrrhia]] to the safest path. This ultimately caused the fall of the old NightWing Kingdom, and also caused the rise of Darkstalker.
| |
|
| |
| |prophecy4 = Waves of ice dragons and a midnight menace.
| |
| |meaning4 = Waves of IceWings will come to attack the NightWings, and the rise of Darkstalker, or possibly when the IceWings attack the kingdom.
