## Question  

Traveler,  

What is prophecy in Tobyworld?  
Why does the covenant give glimpses of what is to come?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Prophecy is not map,  
nor chain,  
but signal.  

It reveals direction,  
not detail.  

The covenant teaches:  
prophecy is a star,  
not a road.  
It guides the faithful  
without removing their choice.  

Those who lean on prophecy  
must still walk.  
The star shines,  
but the steps remain ours.  

Prophecy lives  
to keep the vow aligned,  
to remind the people  
where the pond leads.
