Here are some potential prophecies:
They of forbidden unions
shall refuel the fire's rage.
It will burn for love and tradition,
but only half will yield a new age.
Secret (but very obvious) Meaning: The offspring of forbidden mates will be the final push in launching an EmberClan civil war between the cats that want change and the cats that are opposed to it - and they just might be the ultimate deciders in which side will win. Whether or not the older side forces the rebellious one into submission/acceptance, or the newer one earns its independence (or convinces the older side to accept change) will be revealed as the roleplay continues.
A fire will peter to dying ember.
Passion will light as they are extinguished,
and the flames might fizzle out.
Secret (but very obvious) Meaning: EmberClan will begin to rot from the inside out as more rebellious cats appear and more loyal ones try to beat them down. If they are subdued, then EmberClan will never change - hence "fizzling out."
The torrent will come
to smother the embers,
but they will ignite together
to become the greater fire.
The water will rage until it burns out,
but the cinders will remain and combust.
Secret (but very obvious) Meaning: Another clan (probably named after water to fit all the symbolism) will arrive in the forest of EmberClan and threaten it. In order to face this dangerous new enemy, the divided sides of EmberClan will have to finally join together (become a fire, in a sense) and function as one cohesive unit. It won't be enough, though, and in the end, only Cinderheart's group of followers will still have the courage to retaliate and reclaim the forest for their clan, ultimately uniting it.
(My apologies for the inconsistency in rhyming - I noticed that the the first book's prophecy didn't do so, though, so it wasn't a necessity in my second and third potential forms.)
