Hi guys =D
This is my first attempt at a LOTR fiction, so if I cock up a few things then I am sorry (I haven't read the books in a while.) and please point them out to me and I shall correct them. I don't own any of the LOTR characters. But the Alfirin race and Erudessa are creations of my own. I know there is not much background to the race in this prologue but more information about her race will be discovered throughout this story. I am also doing an Aragon/OC fic, so if it gets Marysue-ish please let me know!
I hope you enjoy. And creative criticism is welcome and reviews would be awesome.
For 3000 years, Middle Earth was at peace, Islidur won the 1st war of Middle Earth where he defeated Sauron, a power beyond that of men. From this battle, Islidur came by the one ring. A ring that would enslave the race of man and destroy everything that is good in Middle Earth. Instead of destroying the ring Islidur took the ring for himself, which ultimately led to his death. From there it fell into the hands of a creature called Gollum who was once of the River folk. For years the creature Gollum had possession of the ring before a chance meeting with a Hobbit called, Bilbo Baggins, and there the ring changed hands once more. For the ring was always wanting to go back to it's master. Now darkness once more rises from Mordor as it threatens, not only the most popular of races, man but also to a race that is all but extinct.
The Alfirin were an ancient race, as old as Elves. Born in the First Age, the Alfirin were similar to Elves in some ways, they were like distant cousins to each other. They had similar senses to Elves they could hear incredibly far and could also see for miles. They are also immortal like the Elves, but their immortality comes with a price, which will be explained later. Their differences lie within their appearance, where as elves are usually blonde and have fair skin, Alfirin have olive skin and dark hair. Where the elves are gentle and kind, The Alfirin are aggressive and guarded. They maybe almost extinct but, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Now Middle Earth is threatened once more by the power of Sauron's forces. The Queen of the Alfirin is called upon in Middle earth's time of need to fight. What will her journey bring? Will the Alfirin fit into the world of man? Will she find love along the way?
Hope you all enjoy!
