The Jade Prophecy as seen in the books

Interpretations

Beware the darkness of dragons, - The evil in dragons, or Darkstalker.

Beware the stalker of dreams, - Scarlet, talking to Icicle nearly caused the death of the prophecy dragonets

Beware the talons of power and fire, - Vulture's group and Peril when she burned the scroll, freeing Darkstalker, or Anemone when she was allied with Darkstalker.

Beware one who is not what she seems. - Onyx, she appeared to be a regular student, but was the granddaughter of Queen Oasis and was working with Vulture to seize the SandWing Throne, or Pyrite, who was actually Hailstorm.

Something is coming to shake the earth, - The flying object ("the fourth moon"), or Darkstalker (his size, or the destruction he will cause).

Something is coming to scorch the ground. -  Vulture's SandWing army, or Darkstalker and his army

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

Unless the lost city of night can be found. - The lost city needed to be found so The Soul Reader could be collected and convince Darkstalker he was evil and provide a chance to defeat him in his hesitance. The Lost City of Night was also necessary to the defeat of Darkstalker due to Foeslayer turning up there and talking to Qibli and (although he didn't know he was talking to Darkstalker's mother), he convinced Foeslayer that her son was too far gone, and this pushed her to aid Kinkajou to put an end to Darkstalker. Also, the lost city was where Kinkajou was, so if they hadn't gone to get her, Darkstalker would not have turned into Peacemaker.
