Riddle here with a tiny Elf named Eärendil. If you haven't read Tolkien's Silmarillion, omg what are you doing go. Anyway, to summarize, he is a bright little Prince who is the son of Tuor (a Man) and Idril (an Elf). He is one of the first mixed (Half-Elven) children, but even more than that, he fulfills a prophecy.
"It is a prophecy among us that one day a messenger from Middle-earth will come through the shadows to Valinor, and Manwë will hear, and Mandos relent."
He is obviously too young to fulfill the prophecy QUITE yet (though he is not much older when he approaches Manwë (a sort of god/upper level angel). It isn't common for even full blooded Elves to approach Manwë - much less be heard by him. He sort of exists above everyone - if that makes sense.
As for Mandos, he is the god/angel that rules the Halls of the Dead. Manwë gives Eärendil and all his line the choice between mortality (Men) and immortality (Elves). Thus, in a way, he is denying Mandos souls if the children choose immortality.
BUT ANYWAY, all of that has yet to happen and Eärendil is a sweet boy who ages as an Elf would (he is twenty, but he looks much younger). He'll be poking his nose in your business - especially if you're sad - soon!
