As Fionn was wandering around after he got his name, he decided to search for his uncle Crimhall. However, because he had never been anywhere, he didn't know where his uncle lived let alone in which direction to wander. Like the boys who gave him his name, he met people in his travels who would change his life.
One day he came upon a maiden. The maiden was crying tears of blood. Fionn could not ignore a woman in such distress, so he approached her and asked how he could help her. The maiden told him that her son was killed ruthlessly by a warrior who lived nearby. This warrior killed her son for no reason. Fionn vowed to the maiden that he would hunt down the killer and avenge her son's death, for anything that could make a woman cry tears of blood must be evil.
Fionn found the warrior and they battled. Fionn, having been given such great instruction by the maidens who raised him, easily defeated the warrior. As the warrior lay dying, Fionn touched a bag that the warrior had tied to him. When he touched the bag, Fionn was struck with the knowledge that this bag belonged to Fionn's father. And, he knew that this warrior was the man who first struck his father in the battle to the death.
Fionn avenged the woman's son and his father. His reward was the bag, which contained magical treasures that only one of the owner's blood could use. So, Fionn was granted wisdom, knowledge, and a little bit of magic with the bag. Included in this knowledge was the whereabouts of Fionn's uncle. Finally, his days of roaming were over. He knew where to find his destiny.
