Evidently prophecy is a lot like gravity in the Looney Toons cartoons. You won’t fall until you look down and the prophecy won’t come true until you know that it’s time for it to occur.
This is why Digger hates prophesies. Their only use is so that after something bad happens, you can realize that the prophesy was warning you about it and make you kick yourself for not figuring it out beforehand.
Snuffle: Tail is a verb! Just not in this context.
The peacocks (or peafowl, depending on what the mountains are collectively called) are covered in snow… I wonder what sort of mouse… could have… hmmm, this is all falling into place *devious grin* A (possibly-metaphorical) white peacock drops a digging mouse which then creates the temple, there was wombat writing on the dead god’s manacles… I got an out-of-context view of a later strip that may or may not support this (curse you, unusual strip numbering!), so either I’m not as good at figuring things out as this suggests or I’m treading dangerously through the edge of spoiler territory. Either way, I’m shutting up now.
“Beware the tail of the peacock.” It has a verb and everything!
Well, that is really just perfect timing right there.

So, did anyone ELSE get a very real feeling of ‘oohhh sshhh-‘ after reading the third panel?
Areetsasaurus, I did when I saw how the sentence was cut off.
