[@BlackPanther] I'm iffy about High Elf and Dragon. It's too fantasy-like. Fair Folk are folk lore creatures unlike High Elves. What about a Summer-born that once was human made Fae by a Salamander? Picking up Fire's gifts? 

Your 'father' takes a eye to (I'm not saying falling in love, because Fae are flick and not fully capable of human emotions. Love is something Human. They may feel something akin but it's not actual love.) the mother, get together, the mother has a issue, has a child with a human man from prior relationship or some accident, Mother dies as you said and the Fae takes the child with him.
