An emissary from Tìr Na Arach, Penny Drake or Pendragon as she is known to most of the world, has helped protect the British Isles (ancestral home of her people) for almost two centuries. Pen belongs to a race of fae who followed Nathair Sgiathach to the Land of Dragons. There they tended and revered the draconic race and in return were granted the gift of virtually eternal life. Pen has to periodically return to her home and bathe in the dragon fire to regain her vitality and powers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Born in what would be our year 1696 to Fáelán (father) and Aisling (mother), Penn was the first child of the couple. Fáelán was the current emissary to the mortal realm and in the year 1700 was again due to visit the Parliament in the town of Edinburgh in order to discuss mutual issues and trade. Travel to and from the mortal realm was strictly controlled in order that none should find or harm the dragons of Tìr Na Arach. Deciding to take his young family with him, they traveled via the hidden paths arriving in Edinburgh on the 1st of February 1700. Time passed slowly for the young Penn in the poorhouse which became her home. Each day was the same routine - rise and wash at 6AM, rollcall, communal prayers followed by a small breakfast, work duties from 7AM until noon. Then an hour interval was provided for dinner and rest before another spell of work duties until 6PM, followed by a further hour for supper. At 7pm further communal prayers were said. The remaining time between 7PM and the enforced 8PM bed time was essentially free time however long days of cleaning the poorhouse (Penn's main duty due to her small size) left her with little energy for play. The constant teasing of the other children over her strangely pointed ears left her with little inclination to play. Such was Penn's life for the five years following the fire, until the arrival of a man claiming to be her uncle, Roibon. "Here Lye the Bodyes of Fáelán Drake (Merchant) Aisling Drake (Spouse) Dyed February 3rd 1700 Taken by Fyre" Roibon's mind raced for there was no mention of a child. Could his young niece still be alive somewhere in this far flung realm? Pausing only to complete the appropriate rites over the last resting place of his fallen kin, Roibon rushed back towards the record keeper in hope that Penn might still be found. Although records of orphans and foundlings whom were a result of the blaze of 1700 were spotty at best, after several weeks of searching Roibon did find a reference to a small fair haired girl, named Penny. A distinguishing feature of unusually pointed ears was marked next to the name. And thus he found himself staring into a set of somewhat distrustful piercing blue eyes.
