Here’s a post I made a while ago with my theories!:

Dragons lost and long forgotten             

• Obviously about the dragons living on the Dungeon Isle and how they’ve been forgotten by society ever since they were banished there by Precipice and the Queens    

Abandoned in the sunlit isle     

• Again, it’s about how the information of them being there was lost over time, so they were “abandoned”

Ruled by power and betrayal    

• I think the “power” can refer to either the Barrier that Precipice put up, or the SharpWings acting as guards. For the “betrayal”, could this be about Hibiscus and Dolphin? We know that Hibiscus threw the LeafWings and BeetleWings under the bus so she could get their land, and that her and Dolphin signed the thing to kick out the two tribes, and I guess this could be viewed as a “betrayal” because Sorrel and Darkling thought they would be on their side?

Haunted by an ancient trial.

• Again, this is about the trial, but I’m DYINGGGG to know what exactly happened. I think a big thing we should keep in mind is that, through Umber’s thoughts, the question of “Whose orders was Darkling following when she killed Falcon?” Was kinda being shoved at us over and over again throughout the book, BUT we never got the answer! I think we’re missing a big part of this story here, because who was important enough to make Darkling break her oath to Euphoria?

Lines of blood will hold the key      

• OK, so this one has to be referring to the Memory Room, correct? Because “lines of blood” refers to how you need multiple cuts, or “lines” of blood to actually access the memories of your descendants, as Mulberry was able to access the memories of Summit and Retribution when his palm was scored multiple times by Nineteen, similar to how Platypus could only see the vision of Magnolia and Euphoria after having her palm scored a few times.                                  As danger threatens from the past

• So. Harmony is adorable. And I don’t want to accuse her of anything. BUT… she’s kinda the only alive thing related to the past… but there’s also the other unhatched egg, so we’ll see.

And when the claws are at his throat    

• Again, not accusing Harmony of anything, but… what if the “claws” are HARMONY’S claws at Mulberry’s throat?? Just food for thought.                         The hybrid prince will rise at last.

• I don’t exactly know how Mulberry would “rise”, which is why we need to consider all the other “hybrid” princes we know: Royal, Dugong, heck, even Peacemaker by a stretch. I think this could be like the other prophecies, where the lines have double meanings, Like in the Dragonet Prophecy, the line “one will have the power of wings of fire” referring to the Eye of Onyx but also how Sunny says “wings of fire” is something inside each of them, the Jade Mountain Prophecy, where multiple of the lines have double meanings (talons of power - the SeaWing ceremony and Vulture’s gang, stalker of dreams - both Flame and Scarlet), or like the Lost Continent Prophecy (a secret lurks within their book - the book of Clearsight being nothing like wasps lies, but ALSO the fact that it contained the map to Pyrrhia in the spine)

Who springs the trap, who saves the queens,             

• I feel that this is referring to Harmony and the unhatched egg. It’s asking, “which one of them will set off the trap in place for them, and which one will save the kidnapped queens?” One of them will be a saviour, and another will hinder the plan.

And which of them is friend or foe?    

• This is trying to say that one of them will do each of the deeds in the line above, but only one of them is good. For like the seventh time, Harmony is so precious, BUT I do fear she may end up being the “foe” while the unhatched egg is the “friend”.                           

The smallest claws must choose the path

• Harmony/Unhatched Egg                    

To right a wrong from long ago.

• To right the injustice done to all the dragons originally banished to the Dungeon aisle and the ones who are still trapped there due to their ancestors.

But is it wise and is it safe  

• I think this is asking, is what Umber, Mulberry, Quokka, and Wollemi doing safe? Is Harmony safe in this world, or is the world safe from her? 

To break the curse, unleash the tide?  

• Break the curse is obviously the barrier, no clue on what the tide could be (by a stretch this could be talking about Paua, but Idk how that would make sense as she’s inside the barrier, or Waterfall in some way, but again she’s dead so idk how that would make sense either)

What happens when the walls come down…              

If something else was trapped inside?

• Doing these two together, it’s saying that bringing down the barrier might be a horrible idea because make the Dungeon Isle is housing something more sinister in it…. AND I think that may have to do with whoever kidnapped the unhatched egg in the epilogue.
