In The End-The Hobbit

Introduction

My name is Elora.

I am among the oldest beings in Middle Earth.

My parents were among the first to set foot on Middle Earth, my Mother, a human maiden and my Father, an Elven Prince. Not long after the pair met, my mother fell pregnant with me.

I look like a human but I have the power of immortality like an Elf. I grew up training to be a warrior. I fought side by side with my father in many battles. Once I turned the age of 20, I stopped aging. I haven't changed appearance for thousands of years, a strange curse to my unusual bloodline.

I had to watch my friends die of old age or in war. I watched my mother pass away and watched my Father be slain in a war against all terrible things. We defeated the evil beings but at the cost of my Father's life. I was meant to take the place on the Throne as an Elven Queen but because I am part human I was cast out into the wilderness of Middle Earth.

For years I tried to fit in. I went to Lothlorien, The Iron Hills and even Gondor but none of them would take me in. I could have gone to Rivendell or other human towns and cities...but I gave up. Instead, I decided to live on the road, never staying in one place for too long.

I changed my name to Ivy and travelled between the Shire and the Misty Mountains. Over time my Father was forgotten and soon after I was only legend or Myth. There are no records of Elora anywhere, only wanted posters of Ivy and rumours. Maybe it's best to be kept like that.

Thousands of years have passed and I still haven't found a place where I belong but things are about to change. I can feel it.
