It's true. You two have a terrible shadow over you. Rebekah, too. If this prophecy is fulfilled, you will all fall. One by friend, one by foe, and one by family.
Freya confirms the prophecy in You Hung the Moon

The Prophecy refers to a series of visions that predicts the imminent destruction of Niklaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson and their sirelines as the result of a mysterious weapon that may or may not involve what is referred to as "the Beast." The prophecy was foretold by a cipher witch named Alexis in For the Next Millennium and was later confirmed by Freya Mikaelson in You Hung the Moon. In A Walk on the Wild Side, several brief additions to the prophecy were foreseen by Alexis that pertained specifically to Lucien Castle, Klaus and Freya. Ariane also forcasted the wooden knight fashioned from the wood of the white oak tree in Wild at Heart.

The Beast

"Drink deep but beware
What you broke is past repair
All your oaths you betray, your sacred vows you sever
And now you see that nothing lasts for always and forever
Three yet remain, two already crossed
Yet in one year's time, you'll all be lost
As your family is undone
You will seed the beast that is to come.
"
Alexis announces the prophecy in For the Next Millennium

Additions[]

"I watched them fall. I watched them burn-- every soul they've ever turned. Lucien is doomed. I saw his sire be destroyed, and I know exactly how it's done."
Alexis adds to the prophecy in A Walk on the Wild Side
"The family blood you sought to find will be what lays you low in kind."
Alexis adds to the prophecy in A Walk on the Wild Side
"All your family has endured, and yet the worst is still to come. An unending darkness lies before you, A lone figure ... a pale horse, a flame that will burn you all."
Ariane in Wild at Heart

Trivia[]

  • The wooden knight that Klaus carved for Mikael, but gave to Rebekah as a boy to ease her fear in a storm, is made of wood from the white oak tree. Aurora stole the figurine and fashioned wooden bullets inside metal casings to try and kill the remaining Originals. The last bullet, however, lead to the creation of the Upgraded Original vampires.
  • When the Prophecy was forcasted, Finn and Kol had already fallen, yet by the the time of the creation of the Upgraded Original vampire, both brothers had been resurrected Original vampires.
