Underway from the forest to the Maya City the group of holcanes and their captives meet the Oracle Girl. Laying beside her dead mother and apparently sick of diesease herself, the girl calls out the prophecy:



"You fear me? So you should. All you who are vile. Would you like to know how you will die? The sacred time is near. Beware the blackness of day. Beware the man who brings the jaguar. Behold him reborn from mud and earth. For the one he takes you to will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth. Scratch you out. And end your world. He's with us now. Day will be like night. And the man jaguar will lead you to your end."



This redirects and confirms the story, plot and theme of Apocalypto as mentioned in the movies taglines: "A great civilization is not conquered from without until it is destroyed from within." "When the end comes, not everyone is ready to go." as well as "No one can outrun their destiny."



Also, as you watch the film you'll notice that all her predictions come true. The eclipse causes day to become night. Then, during the chase, Jaguar Paw "brings the jaguar", and he falls in quicksand and is "reborn of mud and earth." Then he leads the surviving warriors to the beach where they witness the Spanish conquistadors' arrival, thereby leading them to "the one[s] who will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth." Edit
