Prophecy

The Prophecy refers to an ancient prophecy in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. A full account of it is never given, but the Crystal of Light recites the following as part of it:


 * "The Vile Four will steal the Power and divide the World behind four doors. At that time the Knight will appear."

Thus, in essence the Prophecy is the motivation for the entire game, as the Crystal of Light believes Benjamin is the knight the Prophecy speaks of. Later, however, Captain Mac finds a lost verse of the Prophecy that mentions the Dark King. When confronted, the Dark King claims that the Prophecy was a rumor he started centuries ago.
