what — if Elan had managed to escape the Druid?

And lately I like to think about what

— if Elan had managed to escape the Druid father before she’d ever crossed paths with the Viking 

what if the Druid had found some other natural disaster end of life which allowed her independence?

I think about what skills she’d have picked up traveling with the Druid; her gift of healing with herbs and potions. I like to think that she might have had an inner core strength for survival and was clever with disguise to pass safely by boat or land 

What would her stories have been?
