The Age of Destiny



 and how Pen Dragon Finds a Home






 From the moment Merlin first viewed the dragon-shaped comet and considered what
 it might portend, it can now be seen that it was everything he’d had in his mind;
 War, Dark Magic, Treachery, Chivalry, Honor and Love! Arthur and Merlin’s stories
 may not have fully ended yet, but, for Pen Dragon and his family, it was time to leave
 Britannia’s troubled shores.


 Arthur had honored Pen Dragon for his bravery and loyalty with the right to claim a
 mountain region for his home, and Pen Dragon decided the time was right for him to
 do so. But where should he go?


 He considered the mountains of the North, but they were desolate and wintry
 and Dragons love heat. He considered the mountains of the Far East, but knew

 peace under the African sun.

 However, man was soon to follow. Pen Dragon remembered his love for Arthur and his
 fellowship with Merlin and decided he would give these men one last gift.  He cast a
 magic spell on the land around the Dragonstone Mountains. If you choose to visit this
 place you may be one of a very fortunate few to catch a glimpse of a dragon, but you
 will be certain to enjoy the spell Pen Dragon left behind as his final gift - the fruit of

 the grapevine.
