Hmmmm... as elves start to fade, men start to gain dominion... Doesn't that sound like something quite familiar? It might sound stupid, but nowadays there's no magic creatures, only non-magic ones, like humans and animals. Couldn't it be possible that all this stuff Tolkien wrote about might be based on true events- events that happened long long ago? Remember what they said in the beginning of the movie? 'History became legend, and legend became myth, and things that should not have been forgotten, were.' or something like that. Whatever- just some random thoughts of mine!
