It was only 5 years ago, when she was 12, that Silapenniel became princess. Her father had died when she was 2 years old. Other than that, she was a normal girl and had lived peacefully with her mother until she was 10.....
One Summer night, as Silapenniel was sleeping, she was awakened by her mother's scream and the sound of heavy footsteps downstairs. She sprang out of bed and rushed to the kitchen where her mother was. What she saw gives her nightmares to this day. Three huge soldiers were there with drawn weapons, and on the floor was her mother... dead.
"Mama!!" Penni screamed as huge tears rolled down her face and the soldiers rushed at her. They grabbed her and she didn't even try to get away; she was too heartbroken and confused. The soldiers tied her up and took her to the palace of their wicked king. She cried the whole way there.
This wicked king was King Steluil, ruler of Blackburn Forest, and Fallsilver's greatest enemy. When Steluil heard what had happened, he was very pleased with his soldiers and rewarded them by letting them keep "the pathetic little varmit" and do whatever they wanted to her.
For two years, Penni lived with these wicked men. They treated her very poorly and never cared for her, sometimes letting her go for days without food or water. Then one day, as one of the wicked soleirs was beating her for amusement, Fallsilver soldeirs raided the Blackburn camp and rescued Penni and all the other prisoners. Silapenniel was brought to Fallsilver Forest and immidiately taken to the infirmary and cared for.
Meanwile, Prince Calanon had to take a medical course in school where he helped care for someone in the the infirmary. The patient he was assigned to was... Penni. Every day he helped the doctor nurse her back to health and every day he grew fonder of her. When he heard her story, he was horrified and went straight to her parents and asked if they could adopt her. The king and queen, being the kind rulers they are, agreed to adopt her, and took her in to live in the castle as soon as she had recovered.
