Prophecy

During the course of Doctor Who, many prophecies have been made by those with physcic abilities.

Evelina and Lucius Petrus Dextrus
During their time in Pompeii, the Doctor and Donna end up encountering Evelina and Lucius Petrus Dextrus who both posses telepathic abilities as a result of the Pyrovillies and as a result of a crack in time opened by Vesuvius' eruption, posses the ability to see into the future. As a result, they make some startling prophecies about the Doctor and Donna's futures and pasts.

Evelina

 * Evelina is able to tell that the Doctor and Donna aren't who they say they are and that the Doctor's name is Doctor and not Spartacus as he tells him and that Donna calls herself Noble (her last name). She is also able to tell that both came from far away.
 * Evelina also predicts that the Doctor's name is false and that his true name is hidden in the Cascade of Medusa herself.
 * Evelina is also able to predict the Doctor's true nature.

Lucius

 * When pressed, Lucius is able to tell that the Doctor is from Gallifrey and Donna from London.
 * Another prediction of his is to the Doctor: "she is returning" something that is unclear at the time.
 * He predicts that Donna has "something on her back" which startles her, but is something not understood at the time.

Fulfillment

 * Evelina's prediction about the Doctor's name is likely about the Medusa Cascade and how there Davros named the Doctor the "Destroyer of Worlds."
 * Lucius's prediction about she is returning refers to Rose Tyler's return, which is something that is happening throughout series 4 but is unclear until Turn Left.
 * Lucius' prediction that she has something on her back comes true in Turn Left: a Time Beetle attaches itself to her back and she ends up with many people pointing that out to her alternate self until she gets rid of it by changing time with Rose Tyler's help.

Dalek Caan
Due to travling into the Time War, Dalek Caan gains the ability to see into the future, but it also drives him insane. As well as making some prophecies, he works to make them come true as he realizes how evil his race is.

Prophecies

 * Dalek Caan predicts that the Doctor is coming and refers to him as the "three-fold man."
 * Dalek Caan predicts that the Doctor's Children of Time will gather and that the most faithfull one will die. He predicts this repeatedly, his last words being "one will still die" as his final prophecy.
 * Dalek Caan also predicts that the Doctor's true soul will be revealed.
 * Dalek Caan predicts the end of the Dalek race due to their evil and foresees that the Doctor will be the one to do it.

Fullfilment

 * Dalek Caan's prophecy of the Doctor as the "three-fold man" ends up refering to the three Doctors that converge to stop the Daleks: the Tenth Doctor, the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor and the DoctorDonna.
 * The Doctor's companions gather to aid him in dealing with the Daleks, summoning him and aiding him in battle. While none actually die, Donna Noble's memory is erased to protect her as her Time Lord side is too much for her and the person she became due to the Doctor essentialy dies.
 * Davros claims that when the Doctor's companions threaten mass destruction to stop the Daleks that the truth about the Doctor is revealed: he is a man that refuses to use a weapon, but molds his companions into ones.
 * Dalek Caan pushes the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor to fulfil the prophcy about the Daleks destruction and causes him to realize it needs to be done. With Dalek Caan's insistance, the Clone Doctor destroys the Daleks.

Carmen
Carmen naturally posseses low-level telepathic powers which seemed to be enhanced as a result of her visit to San Helios. As a result of her powers, she makes a startling prophecy which the Doctor realizes predicts his death.

Prophecy
As she says goodbye to the Doctor, Carmen makes a prophecy about his future telling him "your song is ending sir.... it is returning through the dark, and then Doctor..... oh but then he will knock four times."

Fulfillment
The Doctor does everything he can to stop this prophecy from happening, even electrocuting Andy to prevent him from knocking four times, but it proves invetiable. Eventually when The Master is responsible for bringing back the Time Lords, the Doctor realizes what "it" is: as a result of breaking the time-lock on the Time War, the Master has brought back more than the Time Lords, he has brought back Gallifrey, the "it" from Carmen's prophecy that was returning. Gallifrey ends up returning in orbit of Earth and nearly destroys Earth. After the Doctor and the Master defeat the Time Lords and banish them and Gallifrey back into the Time War, the Doctor believes that he is safe and has averted the rest of the prophecy when four knocks sound. It turns out that "he" is the Doctor's companion Wilfred Mott who knocks four times repeatedly to get the Doctor's attention in order to be set free from a radiation booth he got trapped in freeing a man. In order to save him, the Doctor must sacrifice himself and absorb a fatal dose of radiation or let Wilfred absorb it and die. The Doctor saves Wilfred which causes him to absorb the fatal dose of radiation and eventually regenerate. Thus the Tenth Doctor dies and the Eleventh Doctor is born.

The Ood
On the Ood-Sphere, Ood Sigma tells the Doctor that his song 'must end' soon. When the Doctor later returns to the Ood-Sphere, the Elder Ood is chanting a ritual prophecy that:


 * 'It' is returning.
 * 'They' are returning.
 * 'He' is returning.
 * Both 'he', it' and 'they' are returning, but too late.

Fullfillment
The 'he' eventually turns out to be The Master, who has been brought back to life. The Master, however, is taken back into the Time War during the End of Time. The reason for this was that he had transplanted himself into every human being. When all the new Masters concentrated on the drumming inside his head, it rippled back in time to the Untempered Schim, where the Master first heard it. This meant that the Time Lord Inner High Council were able to sent a white point star to Earth, making contact physical. This was the 'they'. But, along with them, Gallifrey also came through, the 'it'.

The Trickster
When The Doctor finally encountered The Trickster, the Trickster told him that his 'Destiny awaits him at the Gate'. This turned out to be the Immortallity Gate, where The Doctor absorbed Vinvocci radiation, and regenerated.

The Fires of Pompeii
The Doctor: Consuming the vapors?

Evelina: They give me strength.

The Doctor: It doesn't look like it to me.

'Evelina: Is that your opinion? As a doctor?'

The Doctor: I beg your pardon?

'Evelina: Doctor. That's your name. '

The Doctor: How did you know that?

'Evelina: And you. You call yourself noble.'

Metella: Now, Evelina, don't be rude.

The Doctor: No, no, no, let her talk.

Evelina: You both come from so far away.

Lucius: The female soothesayer is inclined to invent all sorts of fables.

'The Doctor: Oh, not this time, Lucius. I reckon this time you've been out-soothesayed.'

'Lucius: Is that so? Man from Gallifrey.'

The Doctor: What?

Lucius: Strangest of images, your home is lost in fire, is it not?

Donna: Doctor, what's he doing?

Lucius: And you, daughter of...London.

Donna: How does he know that?

'Lucius: This is the gift of Pompeii. Every single oracle tells the truth.'

Donna: That's impossible.

Lucius: Doctor, she is returning.

The Doctor: Who's she?

'Lucius: And you, daughter of London. There is something on your back.'

Donna: What's happening?

'Evelina: Even the word 'doctor' is false. Your real name is hidden. It burns in the stars in the Cascade of Medusa herself. You are a lord, sir. A Lord of Time.'

Journey's End and The Stolen Earth
Dalek Caan: 'He is coming. The three-fold man. He dances in the lonely places. Oh, creator of us all....The Doctor is coming! ...and death is coming, everlasting death to the most faithful companion! So cold and dark and hot, fire is coming, the endless flames...the Doctor will be here as witness at the end of everything, the Doctor and his precious Children of Time...and one of them will die! At the time of ending, the Doctor's soul will be revealed. The Children of Time will gather, and one of them will die! I have seen the end of everything Dalek, and you must make it happen, Doctor!'

Planet of the Dead (TV story)
Carmen: 'Because your song is ending...It is returning... It is returning through the dark...And then Doctor...Oh but then...He will knock four times...'

===The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith===

The Trickster: ...But the Gate is waiting for you...

===The End of Time (TV story)===

'Ood Elder: ...Returning, returning, returning, it is slowly returning through the dark and the fire and the blood, always returning, returning to this world...It is returning and he is returning and they are returning. But too late, too late, far too late...'

'An Ood: He has come... '

Ood Sigma: Sit with the Elder of the Ood and share the dreaming.

'The Doctor: So...Alright. Hello.'

'The Group of Ood: You will join. You will join. You will join. You will join. You will join. You will join. You will join.'

(Shows him and image of the Master laughing)

'Ood Elder: He comes to us every night. I think all the peoples of the Universe dream of him now. '

The Doctor: That man is dead.

'Ood Elder: There is yet more. Join us. Events are taking shape. So many years ago and yet changing the now. There is a man...so scared...'

(Shows him an image of Wilfred Mott)

'The Doctor: Wilfred! Is he alright? What about Donna? Is she safe?'

'Ood Elder: You should not have delayed for the lines of convergence are being drawn across the Earth. Even now, the king is in his counting house.'

(Shows him an image of the Naismiths)

The Doctor: I don't know who they are.

'Ood Elder: And there is another. The most lonely of all, lost and forgotten...'

(Shows him an image of Lucy Saxon)

The Doctor: The Master's wife.

'Ood Sigma: We see so much but understand little. The woman in the cage, who is she?'

'The Doctor: She was...It wasn't her fault...The Master, he's a Time Lord like me...I can show you. The Master took the name of Saxon. He married a human, a woman called Lucy. And he corrupted her. She stood at his side while he conquered the Earth. I reversed everything he'd done so that it never even happened, but Lucy Saxon remembered.'

(While saying this, The Doctor shows them images of the Master as Harold Saxon kissing Lucy, the Toclafane killing President Winters, the Toclafane descending on the Earth, and Lucy Saxon shooting the Master)

'The Doctor: I held him in my arms. I burned his body. The Master is dead!'

(The Doctor shows them himself holding the Master after he is shot and then burning his body)

Ood Elder: And yet, you did not see...

(They show him the Masters ring falling to the ground and a woman retrieving it)

The Doctor: What's that?

The Doctor: Part of him survived...I have to go!

'Ood Elder: But something more is happening, Doctor. The Master is part of a far greater disign. For a shadow is falling over creation. Something vast is sturring in the dark...'

(The eyes of the Ood turn red)

'Ood Elder: The Ood have gained the ability to see through time because time is bleeding. Shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil and these events from years ago threaten to destroy this future. And the present. And the past.'

The Doctor: What do you mean?

Ood 'Elder: This is what we have foreseen, Doctor. The darkness heralds only one thing: the end of time itself!'
