Unwanted

Half elves cannot be considered cream of the crop among elves. A good job makes a half-elf lucky. As for something like marriage, a half-elf might manage that if he has a name worth a dime.
Bludi Illiene has such a name. Yet, he lacks a wife and a good job. That is because his ‘family’ deems him unwanted. The only one who considers him worth his real name is his mother, and she cannot keep him for fear of potential backlash.
Many half elves blame their non-elven parentage. Bludi finds no reason to. He should have been his mother’s husband’s son. So more than anything, he is deemed poor because of his mother’s lack of a ring at the time.
Oh and the fact she is not just some normal everyday elf. She is the most powerful elf in the entire kingdom: Queen Alaenia. And Bludi may be one of the few who can reach her without a court order. At least, he hopes. The one goal he puts forth on his newly adult self is ‘See Mother’.
