The Final Prophesy

The Final Prophecy are the very last words of Mariah before she perished in the fire. She wrote it in a poem and addressed it like a letter, writing on the top. According to the Holy Tome, it states that in the university fire while everyone was fleeing the flames, Mariah stayed in her study, telling Iudex that what she was about to write was the most important thing in all of history. She shoved the text to Iudex, who refused to leave her side, before going to meet Lucy in combat. Iudex was forced out because of the flames, leaving Mariah alone.

It is unknown wheather or not Mariah actually went into combat with Lucy or used a diplomatic approach. According to Lucy in her final hours, she boastfully Mariah summoned the flames that ultimalty lead to her death, though the Followers of Mariah condemn the accusation. There is reason to believe that based on Mariah's Teachings that Mariah tried to be diplomatic in dealing with Lucy.

Mariah told Lucy that she had not won before she perished, saying that a heroine would come to do Mariah's bidding and rid Lucy and her agents of the world. Lucy spent the last of her years before her banishment searching for the prophesy text that Iudex had.

When Regalia was born and she first got ahold of the prophecy, it was revealed to be in Old Arcadian, a language that has been dead so long that there are no records of the language and how it works grammatically. Regalia has the odd ability to be able to read it, though it takes some time. She was six years old when she started reading the text and her mind had not fully developed the language. She managed to translate the text completely when she was 12, but did not reveal he full translation till she was 14, a few days prior to her running away.
