Not exactly a thread, but a wormhole. Or two. Maybe more. The Elves can only reach the island by using a spell. But it doesn't explain the appearance of mortals on the island. Thousands of them from different times and places on Earth have landed on the shores and remained. They can't return to the mortal world for the same reasons the Elves can't leave. A line of storms surrounds the island and keeps everyone trapped inside. Over time, the mortals and Elves have mingled and created a unique society. Alex is the daughter of a mortal father and a Water Elf/Titan mother, but both are murdered by a mortal king learning to use a wizard in battle. Before they died, Alex's parents smuggled her away to be with her half-brother at the Nyla Sword Academy.

For the next four years, they wander the island searching for Mother Gaia's grandson, never finding him.

But as they arrive so does a fleet of pirate ships. Worst day ever...
