“‘And you, Children of Danu, shall go to the land of which shall be called
Inisfail, the Isle of Destiny. It is your destiny to populate the earth and bring
to it the great wisdom and direction that you have learned under our hands,’”
Bianca intoned as Clare rolled her eyes and winked at her roommate, who
was giving a mythological tour of Dublin to a group of eager Americans.
“Look now, there goes one of the great beauties of the Children of Danu. A
living goddess herself.” The group turned to stare at Clare as she rushed past
them, shaking her head at Bianca.

“I’m as much of a goddess as you are a delicate rose,” Clare shot back,
and the group broke out in laughter.
“And so the children of Danu came to the Isle of Destiny, which you know
today as Ireland, with only the four treasures in their hands to protect them
against those who were determined to rule the island in darkness.”
Bianca’s mythology lesson faded behind Clare as she tucked a rioting
mass of auburn curls under a wool cap, her mind already focused on her
dissertation project. It was her last bit of work to be finished before she could
call herself an honest-to-god doctor.
A person with a geology doctorate is nonetheless a doctor, she reminded
herself as she pushed through the glass doors that housed the science wing of
Trinity College.
She’d been lucky to get accepted to the reciprocal geology program at
such an esteemed college, and even luckier to have won a full scholarship.
Her parents had scratched their heads in confusion – wondering what a
farmer’s daughter from small-town Clifden, Ireland would want with a
doctorate degree.
To study stones, no less.
She could still see her father striding out into the yard, his boots mucked
with mud, as he bent over and picked up a rock from the ground and held it
up to the light.
“This? This is what you’re wanting to be studying then? Sure and there
isn’t all that much to learn about them now, is there?”
Though he’d been confused by her choice, Madden MacBride had quickly
been found boasting about his brilliant daughter in Paddy’s, the corner pub he
favored.
