A prophet is one who makes predictions for the future. Those predictions are called prophecies.
Other than 'chosen one', what do you call someone who is the target of, subject of, or instrument by which that prophecy might be fulfilled?
For instance, there is in the land of Vandelon a great prophet Grapnir the Three-Fingered. He prophecies
So if Grapnir the Three-Fingered was the prophet who prophesied the prophecy, and Ted the Unobtrusive is the One Who Shall Arise from the Forgotten City, what would we call Ted other than The Chosen One? (And, of course, other than "The Unobtrusive." :)
I keep wanting it to be proph- something. You know, because of the whole -et/-ecy/-esies thing.
I've tried looking for it at Onelook.com, but have been so far unsuccessful.

In the one hundredth winter of the Rule of the Deceptor, one shall arise from the Forgotten City who shall free the Enslaved of Darvon and lead the People in Revolt.(Yes, I just made that up. Yes, it's awful. Yes, prophecies are often peppered with Random capitalized Words.)
