Also, of course, the prophecy could have been made from a godlike or 
Seriolian time perspective.  Maybe Telnan's going to lose it.  Maybe he's 
going to lose it in such a way that it ends up where his earlier self 
found it.

Or maybe his soul was the previous wielder.  Maybe that's why the sword 
accepts him, despite his heroic nature.
