It was widely known among the Scottish people that the sith could be dangerous creatures, it was not wise to meddle with them and commonly leaving them a wide berth was the safest action. On the other hand, some craved the knowledge and the power of the fae, and if they came face to face with the great gods of old, they would happily enter into a bargain or take their opportunity to win a wish from the beings, may times these boons granted to mortal men would come in the form of prophesy. But dealing with the sith is never straight forward, and the intent to change the future can often cause the undesired one to come true. It is in this latter category that we find Ewen (Hugh) of the little head.
