A mysterious prophecy, spoken by an ancient seer, foretells a future fraught with danger and transformation. "The Prophecy of Æthelred's Doom" warns of a coming chaos marked by bloodshed, the rise of a powerful figure from a royal lineage, and a struggle against a menacing serpent. The prophecy speaks of a sacrifice required to break the chains of tyranny and usher in a new era, but it also warns of a treacherous serpent with deceitful promises. The cryptic verses suggest a world on the brink of destruction, where both hope and fear reign supreme, leaving readers to ponder the destiny of its characters and the outcome of the foretold events.
