Tene and I have agreed that both the Shaman and the Chief sacrificed themselves for the first prophecy, though at different points in time for the sake of the timeline. After the Shaman’s sacrifice failed to fulfill the prophecy, the Chief became obsessed, believing that he was the true key. A few decades later, he followed the same path, sacrificing himself as well.

Initially, we considered involving the Chief's mate in this, but the timeline wouldn't align, given the apprentice-aged heir. So, despite having two children, the Chief’s mate couldn’t bear life without him. One night, she disappeared, with rumors suggesting that she had seen the ghost of her beloved and followed him into the woods. (This can change)
