Grainne had made sure to sit down with her back to the view ports in Ten Forward when they made it there, listening intently. Some of it aligned with what she remembered, but very definitely the McCallums had never been part of her stories...

"It's all right. Nobody could know everything that went on at any moment in time. It is really quite different from my history. I am surprised that whole... thing with the Fianna chasing after the lovers didn't destablize the country, or deplete the defenses. The Battle of Gabhra meant the end of the Fianna in my world, and Fionn never tried to restore it. There were no McCallums ever in my stories. I wonder if they had been killed off early, before they ever became important? Between that, and the Fianna, it seems that is why Patrick and his... people could move in and convert- and the druids that did not convert, they killed."

She paused, then added softly, "Fate has such a strange way about it, where one choice can make a difference."
