"Crystal's Redemption: The Transformation of Skekvar"
2 Points
In the heart of the Crystal Castle, where the light of the great Crystal shone with an ethereal glow, the Skeksis Lord Skekvar stood, his aged and decrepit body trembling slightly as he approached the Crystal Chamber. He had heard rumors about the transformative power hidden within the great Crystal, but his curiosity had been piqued by whispers of its ability to grant eternal youth and vitality. With each decaying step, Skekvar's talons clicked against the stone floor, echoing his determination.
"This power... it shall be mine," Skekvar rasped to himself, his voice a harsh whisper in the empty hall. "None of the other Skeksis shall possess such strength."
As he reached out, his gnarled fingers brushing against the Crystal's cool surface, a sudden surge of energy enveloped him. His body began to convulse violently, and an intense light consumed him, pulling him into the heart of the Crystal itself.
"No! What is happening?" Skekvar screeched, but his cries were swallowed by the blinding light.
The light intensified, and the ancient Skeksis felt his body shrinking, contracting under some unseen force. The once imposing figure of Skekvar diminished, his towering height reduced to a mere fraction. His once durable exoskeleton softened and smoothened into delicate, pale skin. Talons retracted into slender fingers, and the heavy robes he wore were replaced instantly with lightweight, nature-adorned clothing typical of Gelfling make.
As the transformation completed, Skekvar stumbled, now looking through the eyes of a young Gelfling. His once deep, menacing voice had softened to a gentle, melodic tone. Confusion clouded his mind; memories of dark plans and ruthless ambition slipped away like sand through his fingers, replaced by simpler thoughts and the inherent curiosity of Gelfling nature.
"Where... where am I?" he murmured, his voice now light and inquisitive. Blinking, he reached up to touch his face, feeling only the smooth fairness of Gelfling features. "What... who am I?" Panic laced his words, but another wave of light washed over him, gently drowning his fears.
"Come along, Rian!" A voice echoed through the chamber. Rian, a name that resonated within him like a bell chiming in the recesses of his mind, felt familiar, anchoring his identity. He turned to see a fellow Gelfling, a friend. Kylan, his name echoed within him, walked over with a joyous smile.
"Rian, are you alright? You seemed lost in thought," Kylan said, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"I... Yes, I am alright, Kylan," Rian replied, a smile creeping onto his lips. Any remnants of Skekvarās existence were silenced within the depths of his mind.
As they walked away from the Crystal Chamber, Rian could barely remember anything darker than the peaceful life within the Gelfling community. The echoes of Skekvar's long life, his malevolent intentions, and the occupation of power had no place in his gentle heart now. As far as he was concerned, he had always been Rian, a young Gelfling enjoying the serenity of Thra alongside his friends.
"So, what grand adventure shall we embark on today?" Kylan asked, eyes twinkling with excitement.
Rian laughed softly, his soul light and unburdened. "Letās explore the forests, Kylan. I have a feeling there are secrets still hidden amongst the trees."
And thus, the last trace of the Skeksis known as Skekvar vanished into the peace of Gelfling life, lost forever amidst the wonders of Thra.

Prompt: Write the transformation story (without gender/sex change, with either the male skeksis remaining male as a gelfling or a female skeksis remaining female as a gelfling) of the skeksis (from The Dark Crystal franchise) permanently turning into a gelfling (also from The Dark Crystal franchise), complete with body change, age change, height regression, instant clothes change, and mind/mental change (despite the skeskis's best efforts on fighting off these new gelfling personality and memories, making him/her unable to remember his/her life/self as a skeksis and only ever remember being a gelfling, being completely unaware of himself/herself ever being a skeksis or a transformation that had happened a moment ago, believing that he/she had always been a gelfling). There should be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
