A mortal mother’s love

She had watched him grow calling the elven refuge his home, raised as the Elf Lord’s son even though he was not of their race. A human among immortals, a boy surrounded by Elves. She had cherished his laughter when the ones he called his brothers came to keep him company and fill his days and tender heart. And she had dried his tears when his immortal family refused him the one that had forever stolen that heart.

For never did he fail to come back to her, a boy raised by the Elves seeking out his mortal mother’s love.
