I mean… that’s “Smash Mouth – All Star”, is it not?
“Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead”
Mystery Men? o.O I don’t remember All Star being in Mystery Men. But it was definitely in Shrek, and this storyline has had a ton of direct references to Shrek, including… Shrek himself as the Orc leader.
Wait, wait, wait. Don’t let yourself be distracted by the backstory part…
I can understand that Sarah and Noah characters made up the prophecy to lure the group in the quest. But Noah wanted the stones and, more important, there’s a princess asleep in top of a big and magical tower. There have to have a prophecy!
I’m sure that it’s written in some manual, “if there’s a big and magical tower, with a princess asleep at its top, therefore there is a prophecy about that princess asleep in top of that big and magical tower”.
From experience, it’s fun for about sixty seconds. After that, it gets irritating for basically everyone.
“Hey, why did you stab the shopkeeper?”
“He looked at me funny / gave me the wrong change / I didn’t like his moustache.”
Not fun.

Well as long as she knows what she’s doing 😌

Y’know, some folks have been shocked by this betrayal.
*I* am more shocked that her backstory is a song from the “Mystery Men” soundtrack.

Yep, it is.
And I will forever make it my mission in life to remind people that it predates “Shrek”.

More relevantly to the other references earlier in the arc, the Shrek soundtrack.

I need to make a character with supremely petty reasons for doing stuff. Sounds fun.

“What prophecy?”
Indeed. The party member who betrayed you probably isn’t the most reliable source of information.
