Middle Earth was a beautiful but dangerous world to live in, with elves,hobbits, dwarves, goblins and orcs. Hobbits were the merriest of them all, they had everything they ever needed close to home, never venturing further than Bree and nothing ever made them want to leave.
And that's where two very special people would meet. But before we can meet them we need a little bit more background. Long ago in the first age, creatures were being born with very special markings, it was a small marking like a tattoo that would help them find their soulmate. not very many were born with these markings.
long after the second age there were no sightings of the markings and everyone believed that they no longer existed, but it seemed as though fate was waiting for some very special people.
Artemis that's my name. A Long long time ago a young elf prince gave it to me. He was the crowned elf prince of Mirkwood. His name Legolas he was a very kind young elf.
I had saved him from drowning when he was only 10, well looked 10 anyway. Since he is an elf they age very slowly just like my kind.
After I saved his life that day he wouldd often come see me. Each day just to learn about me and my race. Since we'll, im a mermaid. I'm the last of my kind. He and I grew up together and my feelings for him became one of love over time. I loved him but it was dangerous for me because mermaids can only love once.
If my heart breaks it will turn to stone and stop beating, it will grow old and cold and it will stop and never start again. My body will live but it would be a shell of a mer.
One day Legolas had come to see me by the river, he told me about a young she-elf named Tauriel. He told me about how he had feelings for her and how amazing she was. My heart hurt at those words. He had fallen for another. That day I told him I loved him and that I would never forget him.
Then I grabbed his face with my hands and kissed him. When I kissed him a tear slid down my cheek, when it hit the ground it turned into a white pearl. I kissed him because I loved him but when I kissed him I took away every memory of him and myself. I let go and put my necklace around his neck. It was a green stone with markings on it. We called it our hearts we would give it to the ones we love. I looked at him one last time before jumping back into the water leaving the one I love.
