Author's Note-I just want to make this clear. She didn't tell them the year
that she met her first Immortal. She's just remembering in this story.

Flashback. Scotland, 1900.Duncan Macleod and Hugh Fitzcairn were walking down the streets.
"Come on Fitxcairn, are we going to continue to argue about this or not?" Duncan wondered.
"Only if you let it Duncan. I haven't had too many students lately in my life and I don't expect to have anymore. I'm getting far too old for it," Fitzcairn replied. "Besides, when was the last time we met new Immortals anyway? A few years at least."
"Oh Fitz, I don't believe you sometimes," Duncan laughed. "You're as crazy as you're going to get."
Fitz joined in his laughter.
Two eyes watched them walk down the street.
"Come on Macleod, it's alright. Now, I've got to get going. I've got something to pick up. I'll talk to you later," Hugh said.
"Fine. See you later Fitz," Duncan said as they parted ways.
Hugh started to head down the street, unbeknowst to him that he had a follower.
Suddenly, he sensed another Immortal behind him. He turned around to find a young woman, lying on her back on the ground, shivering. She looked at him with much fear in her eyes.
"What are you? I've never gotten that feeling from anyone else before in all my years on this planet," she demanded.
"You don't even know what you are?" Fitzcairn asked, obviously surprised.
"No, should I?" came the reply.
"Well, yes if you want to survive," he replied.
"Well, what am I?" she asked.
"I was getting to that. You, like myself, are Immortal. I'll help you if you let me. My name is Hugh Fitzcairn," he explained, holding out his hand to her.
She took it and stood up.
"My name is Elkaryene Shymel," she said.
"First thing to tell you is that we can not die unless we are beheaded," he started to tell her as they started to head towards his house.
"One thing before you continue. Who was that charming fellow you were with?" asked Elkaryene.
"Oh, that was Duncan Macleod. Nice fellow. Should meet him sometime but now would not be a good time," replied Hugh.
"Oh, I think I'll meet him sometime, I'm sure of it,"she said, smiling.
He continued to explain the rules to her as she intently listened.
