We've had a conversation like this before here.

Let me use some quotes from it for those who don't want to follow the link

Drayco in refference to a similar situation- "The Witch-King can be murdered by a man- the prophecy was that it wouldn't be a man to kill him; it wasn't some special ability he had, it was already seen when he would die and how on the Fields of Pelenor. It'd be like if I could see your future, and saw that in 30 years you die by falling down the stairs, and I tell you "No person shall kill you"- it doesn't mean you're suddenly immune to someone blowing your brains out, it just means you were meant to die falling down the stairs." -"when it's less of a real prophecy and more like a spoiler. In a crossover, all bets would likely be off anyway"

AN- ''"Have you ever read Macbeth? There was a prophecy in there where he would be killed by a man who was not born by a woman (something like that), and the man who had killed him, was basically pulled from the womb, via a c-section (again, something along those lines.)

They just predicted HOW he would die. He is mortal, and able to be slain, that is just what was predicted. Macbeth or the Witch-King could just as easily be killed by Duke Nukem, who is all that is man."''
