I was thinking of doing one but I know they are so cliche – even I get annoyed with them. Especially when someone is getting hailed as a saviour but they haven't even done anything yet. I've seen so many people say “the Prophecy” cliche will make them stop reading instantly because it's used so much.
But I like the theme of “fate vs free will”
My plan was to show the damage a false prophecy can do. How someone who feels helpless with very little purpose is suddenly given one (and hope) by someone else and that believe spurs them to revolt against his/her oppresses. Maybe in the end it's their belief that gets them success, not fate. But I'd like to leave it open to my readers. If they want to believe it was fate they can, or if they want to believe it was simply conviction they can. I know most may say “I don't mind the prophecy cliche as long as it's done well.”
It's only a very lose idea so far but one I've had for a while.
