"Beneath the Pages of an Elf: The Unveiling of Faelon"
2 Points
You walk through the quiet, echoing halls of the museum, drawn to the ancient artifacts and timeworn books that line the walls. Itâs a normal day for you, an ordinary human man with a fascination for history. Your fingers trace the spines of dusty tomes until your attention is snagged by one book, its cover adorned with intricate designs of mythical creatures. Almost by instinct, you reach out and open it.
A blinding light engulfs you, forcing you to shield your eyes. You feel your body morphing, stretching, and shifting in ways you can scarcely comprehend. When the light finally dims, you look down, stunned by what you see. Your jeans and t-shirt have been replaced by a medieval elven tunic that reaches past your hips, a leather belt keeping it in place. A long, flowing cape reaches down to your new footwearâarcherâs long leather boots built for distant travels. Your hands are clad in archerâs leather gloves, and a medieval bow and quiver filled with arrows are strapped to your leather sash and belt.
The reflection of your new form in a nearby glass case reveals an elegant and graceful figure with long, blonde hair and ethereal features. You have become an elf, with long, pointy ears and a lean yet athletic body. Panic washes over you, waves of terror as your new reality dawns on you.
Suddenly, youâre assaulted by a barrage of new feelings and memories. You try to vocalize your despair, but the words that leave your lips are unintelligible, an unfamiliar languageâelven. âI-what is this? Help!â you scream, each word distorting into the melodic tones of the elven tongue. âAmin nârangwa â amin harya nan'!â You stumble, desperately clawing at your fading human memories.
In your mind, you hear the gods speaking, their voices authoritative yet gentle. âMorihtar, meldo... na-vanimle sila tiri,â they say. âForget your past, human life. It was but a dream. This is your true form, your true life.â
You try to reject their words, shaking your head violently. âNo, please, whatâs happening to me?â you cry out, but the language you once knew deserts you, leaving only the fluid sounds of Elvish. âLye tirnoamin! Cormamin niuve tennaâ ta'.â
Elven memories flood your mindâyour training as an archer, battles with goblins, your deep faith in the gods. You grasp desperately at the fleeting fragments of your humanity, but they slip away like mist. Tears blur your vision as you scream for your family and friends. âAranma, tye-ma!â Yet, their faces become unknown to you, replaced by the familiar visages of elven companions and comrades. Your human life dissolves entirely, replaced by the certainty that you have always been an elf named Faelon.
A gentle voice breaks through your struggle, singing a soft elven lullaby. âLirima nĂĄ este cen, oio naa lle um miere.â You look up to see a beautiful, ethereal elf maiden smiling at you with love and warmth. She hugs you, wiping your tears away. âFaelon, melda. Narissi nĂĄ auta. Ă cĂ©on âtoyen, na orcin lomba?â Her words, once mysterious, now make perfect sense. She tells you that your human memories were but a dream and assures you that you are home.
Holding her hands, feeling her genuine love and concern, your fear dissipates. Her lips press gently against yours, and she continues to sing. âOio naa eldalie makil nwalma lisse.â You realize she is your beloved wife, who you saved from a goblin attack. Your life as a fearless, noble elf warrior becomes clearer with each passing second.
âYes,â you murmur in Elvish, âThank you, melamin.â The panic that once gripped your heart is replaced with relief and joy. You are an elf, loved and revered, in a world where gods actively guide and bless you.
The gods, their voices echoing in your mind, confirm your rebirth. âRemember your true self, Faelon. You are our chosen hero, destined to protect this realm.â They bless you again, and you feel your connection to them deepening, filling your heart with unwavering faith. The memories of a mortal life fade completely, replaced by a lifetime of heroism and eternal love.
Looking into the eyes of your wife, you know this is your reality. You are happy, whole, and entirely unaware that you were ever any different. You laugh at the absurd notion of being human. Holding your wife close, you prepare to return to your village, ready for whatever new adventures await.
You will always be Faelon, the brave and devout elven warrior. This, your true life, is where you belong and always have been. With your wife by your side and the gods' blessings, your journey in this fantastical world of myth and magic continues, eternally.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of an average male human reader turning into the fantasy elf complete with a medieval elven tunic (that reaches past the hips), a leather belt strapped around his waist to keep his tunic in place, a long flowing cape that reaches his new footwear, medieval-styled pants neatly tucked underneath a pair of archer's long leather boots (these boots are also built for distant travels), a pair of archer's leather gloves, medieval archery equipment (a bow and the arrows-filled quiver) strapped either on his new leather sash (which is wrapped around his shoulder and his back) or to his leather belt (his entire outfit is like all other elven warriors in the fantasy world he lives in, and like all elves, his outfit is in both an earthly and forest color), long and pointy elven ears, thin and lean yet athletic and graceful body (with elegant posture and movement), handsome and ethereal-looking face, no facial hair on the lower half of his face (he keeps his eyelashes and eyebrows however, which are blonde like his head head now), light and almost-pale skin, beautiful blue irises in his eyes, and long blonde hair (not a Christmas elf, fantasy elf) complete with almost-instant age change, instant supernatural powers gain (including but not limited to sharpened senses, being immortal, and being forever youthful), almost-instant voice change (to fit with his new elven bloodline), almost-instant language shift (changing from English to an elven language, yet the reader now completely understood this new language whilst no longer remembering or speaking English, making English completely unfamiliar to him and he could no longer remember what English words mean nor could he know how to say English words/sentences), instant reality change (the reader's real world on Earth warping and becoming the fantasy medieval world filled with mythical creatures such as elves, goblins (the elves' arch nemesis), dragons, and many more, the reader is now in a fantasy-esque wooded meadow and/or forest with a nearby elven village, where the elven reader lives), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personality and memories replaced with an elf's personality and memories, despite his best efforts on fighting off the new memories and personality, making him completely forget about being a mortal human, having no memory of science, modern life, theory of evolution, etc, and only remember being an elf, realizing that he has always lived in a fantastical world created by gods (the elf reader himself being religious and fully believing in his world's gods, having full faith in those gods just like all elves, who also have a belief and faith in their world's gods, with all elves (the elf reader included) knowing and worshipping (as well as mentioning) the gods (even asking for helps and blessings from the gods when needed)), knowing every elven powers and weaponry (even having perfect archery skills), having lived in an immortal elven life in his home village with his elf wife (as well as the other elves, including his elven companions and comrades), and among others). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. The story is that the reader was visiting a museum containing very old books and other historical artifacts, where the reader finds a book that is all about medieval fantasy creatures, he then opens the book, causing the blinding light to engulf him and thus caused the whole transformation to occur. During the mental changes (where the reader's mind becomes cloudy/fuzzy/dizzy), the reader is truly terrified/horrified about completely losing/forgetting his own memories, personality, and language as a human (with English instantly changing to an elven language during mid-sentence (since elves do not speak or understand English and speaks purely in an elven language), much to the reader's horror, and he tries to speak English multiple times, but to no avail, since he had completely forgotten all about English and could no longer understand English and all he said and remember are elven words/sentences), so he tries to fight against the new memories and personality (even screaming for help from his family/friends, crying out in tears, as well as attempting to shake his head as an attempt to get rid of the emerging and invading elven memories/personality), but his mental fight is in vain (the elven personality and memories are too powerful), making him completely forget his mortal and mundane human life and he only remembers being a medieval-era elf (complete with a new name fitting for an elf, rather than an old human name he had now completely forgotten), having remembered his archery training, war with goblins, his faith and belief in the gods (ones who created this world, his belief and faith in the gods are like all elves), having a marriage to an elven woman (which he had saved from a goblin (by shooting the goblin with an arrow and thus saved the elven woman's life) and he later married to that elven woman), and himself being a heroic elf (being well-respected by his people and he respects his people). The gods, who transported the reader into a medieval fantasy realm, are transforming the reader in both body and mind, thanks to the gods' blessing, and the gods had intentionally blessed the reader by permanently removing all of the reader's humanity (the gods have blessed the reader by removing all of his human personality and memories, as the gods told the reader during his mind/mental change) and also blessed him by turning him into an immortal elf (due to the reader's newly elven body and mind, and they also intentionally and magically blessed the reader by completely removing/erasing all of the reader's mortal human memories and personality (the gods' voices are heard by the reader in his head and telling him to completely forget his human self and life (claiming that the reader's human self and life was all just a dream, thus they're saying to the reader that the gods erasing the mortal memories, personality, and life is not a curse, but a blessing), the gods tell/say the reader (in elven language) that they are blessing him by erasing all of his mortal human memories and personality (the gods intentionally erasing all of the reader's previous human life and memories/personality is truly a blessing), while also telling him to remember his true elven self and life, proving their intent in creating a hero for their fantasy world), thus making him completely and permanently forget about ever being a mortal human), and the removal of human memories/personality is truly a blessing as stated by the gods (and not a curse), as told by the gods themselves. During his mind/mental change, the now-elven reader now calls for help from the gods (due to his newfound religious belief, faith in the gods, as a result of being an elf in this fantasy world) to aid the reader in remembering his true self (an elf, and not a human) and he is calling the gods to help remove his (false) human memories and personality, all in an elven language he now fully understands and knows how to speak elven (having already forgotten all English words and their meanings (like all elves, the elf reader does not know English nor what do English words mean), being completely alien and foreign to the elf reader, who only speaks and knows the elven language), as he becomes more and more faithful to the gods (thus making his beliefs fully religious (with no science or other non-religious theories or beliefs) and have unwavering faith in the gods, which the now-elven reader now realizes that he has always been religious and faithful to his gods who created his world and all life (including elves)). To aid in the now-elven reader's transforming mind, a beautiful, youthful, ethereal-looking adult female/maiden elf (who quietly thanks and praises the gods for helping her husband (the elf reader) to return to his true self (an elf warrior)) from a nearby elven village (who, along with the gods who created this fantasy world, is the one who used the magic from the book to transport the reader into a medieval world and permanently transformed the reader into an elf himself in both body and mind, since the female elf (who is religious and believes in the gods and has full faith in them, just like her husband (the elven reader)) really wanted a husband of her own) comes up to the reader (she's happy to see the human reader turning into her brave husband and warrior elf) and comforts him with a gentle hug, gently wiping away the reader's tears, softly holding the transforming reader's hands, an affectionate and genuine true love's kiss, quietly singing an elven lullaby to the reader, and telling him that his human life was not real and is just a dream (she also confirms the reader that he was returning/traveling back home to his elven village home (which is his real home) from one of his many quests or battles and that's why he was daydreaming about his false and imagined human life), and she tells him to remember his true elven body and life (saying those all in an elven language rather than in English, which is now completely foreign), making the now-elven reader realize that the elf woman comforting him is his caring, understanding, and loving wife (whom the elf reader truly loves, cares, and understands, having always known her since saving her life from an attacking goblin), she is telling this truth to the transforming reader (which the reader truly and completely believes), and the reader is truly happy to know that his previous human life was actually only a dream (he is completely unaware of ever being a mortal/human before or the transformation ever actually happened), and he is happy that his life as a brave, courageous, smart, adventurous, and faithful elf warrior (he enjoys being with his elf wife, whom he truly loves (and vice versa) and has married centuries ago (the reader is truly happy about being with his elven wife and is affectionate towards her (kissing included), as he truly loves her (and his elven wife also truly loves him), he even promises to always be there for her), as well as having his loyal elven companions and comrades who follow him (he is also loyal to his companions and they always help him in quests and battles, having succeeded in all battles and quests against villains, including but not limited to goblins), and he himself being guided and supported by the gods (who have intentionally chosen and transformed the human reader into a heroic elf warrior so this fantasy world would have a hero to save this realm) who created this fantasy world) is his true and only life. Plus, the elf reader is completely and permanently unaware that his former mortal human life had existed, and he's completely and permanently unaware that his transformation had ever happened (he is amused, possibly laughing, at the idea of ever being a human), the elf reader believes that he was daydreaming about the human life while he was returning back to his home village from the battle/quest (exactly like what his elven wife stated earlier), and his journey as an elven warrior, unbeknownst to him, had just begun, even though the elf reader always knew that he had always been a heroic elf and he had already been on the journey countless of times before (which is the truth). There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including the gods' quotes in the now-elven reader's head) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Not only that, but there should be quotes in elven language, even the reader's language shift during his panic (the reader is now unable to remember English and cannot understand English (unable to understand what English words mean) or even speak English anymore (with no more English words from any characters in this story after the reader's English language fully/completely shifted to the reader's new elven language) thus English has become alien and foreign to the reader (now an elf), since English is completely unfamiliar and foreign to all elves (including other elves besides the reader)), as well as the lyrics to the lullaby that the elf woman is quietly singing to the transforming reader. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
