A lazy afternoon brought you to the vast halls of the local museum, a sanctuary of history and myth. It had always fascinated you, this place where the echoes of centuries gone by seemed to reverberate off the aged walls. As you strolled through the dimly lit corridors, your eyes fell upon a display of ancient tomes, their leather bindings cracked and pages yellowed with time. One book in particular seemed to call out to you, its title obscured by dust.
Gingerly, you lift the heavy cover, eyes scanning the intricate illustrations of fantastical creatures: elves, goblins, dragons, and more. Each page seemed more alive than the last, as if the very ink pulsated with hidden magic. You lean closer, curiosity compelling you to study every detail.
Suddenly, a blinding light erupts from the book, engulfing you. Panic surges through your veins, and you try to shout, but no sound escapes your lips. Your limbs feel like they are dissolving and reforming, your very essence being reshaped.
Your legs lengthen, becoming thin and athletic, while a strange, weightless sensation wraps around your frame. The ground sways beneath you, and you find yourself cloaked in an elven tunic that reaches past your hips, a leather belt strapped snugly around your waist. A long, flowing cape cascades down to meet sturdy leather boots built for distant travels. Your hands, now garbed in archer's leather gloves, clutch a bow and quiver filled with arrows.
In your mind, words start to fracture and tumble into one another. "Help! Someone, ple—seirin i mor!" You stop, horrified. That wasn't the language you knew! You try again, "Please, I need—Nauva an cuia!" Each attempt to speak English is met with swift intrusion by an elven tongue.
Your reflection in the hand-polished metal of an elven blade takes your breath away. You see a lean and graceful figure with long, blonde hair, light, almost-pale skin, and a pair of blue irises staring back at you. The face is ethereal, devoid of any facial hair save for the eyebrows and eyelashes, now as golden as the hair upon your head.
Then they come, the memories. Images of an immortal life flood your consciousness. Village celebrations, archery training, battles with goblins—all etched sharply in your mind. You see an elven woman, beautiful and loving, her face filled with gratitude as you save her from a goblin attack.
"No! I was human! I was a man in the museum! I—ar i rohta, alassen!" you scream, words transforming mid-sentence, becoming foreign yet familiar. You attempt to shake these new memories out, your mind becoming cloudier, dizzier by each passing moment. Tears blur your vision, and you cry out in a voice becoming masculine yet smooth, laden with a musical quality.
"Help me, please!" you sob, though your voice betrays you, now seamlessly transitioning to the elven tongue despite your best efforts. "Sen, pusta!"
A voice, soft and melodic, reaches you through the haze. A beautiful elven woman approaches, her eyes radiating warmth and love.
"Eldarion...nai yassë," she murmurs, gently wiping away your tears. "Your human life was just a dream, my love. You are back home now."
The gods' voices reverberate through your mind, comforting yet commanding. "Forget your mortal self, Eldarion. Embrace your true life. This is no curse but a blessing."
You try to fight, try to hold on to the ghostly remnants of your old life, but they slip through your mental grasp like sand through fingers. You feel the elven woman's touch on your hands, her affectionate kiss dissolving the last vestiges of your resistance.
"Randa lĂrĂ«, ar melmĂ«, ar varya nai," she sings, her voice a tender melody that penetrates deeply into your soul. She assures you, "Auta i lĂłmĂ«, utĂşlien."
You gaze into her eyes, the fog in your mind gradually clearing. Memories of your quests, your battles, and your marriage become all the more pronounced. You realize that she is your wife, your beloved, your anchor. The gods have blessed you with immortality, with strength, with a destined purpose.
And then it dawns upon you—the thought of ever being human—a mortal—is absurd, laughable even. "My foolish daydreams as I returned from my quest," you think, smiling at your wife.
Your journey as a warrior-elf named Eldarion has only just begun, filled with love, bravery, and the eternal fight against your people's enemies. The gods guide your every step, and you feel the warmth of their approval. Your elven comrades await, your new life—and true life—is calling.
Eternal in your graceful, lean frame, you set off, hand in hand with your beloved, into the forested path leading to your village. The laughter of elves fills the air, and the weight of a legendary destiny settles comfortably on your now ethereal shoulders.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of an average male human reader turning into an 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) 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 believing in his world's gods, having faith in those gods), 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, 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 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 about English and all he said and remember are elven words), 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, 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 (removing all of his human personality and memories) and 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 the reader that they are blessing him by completely erasing his mortal human memories and personality (the gods intentionally erasing all of the reader's previous human life and memories/personality is 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 and not a curse. To aid in the now-elven reader's transforming mind, a beautiful, youthful, ethereal-looking adult female elf 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 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), 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 he knew that he had always been a heroic elf and had already been on the journey countless of times before. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including the gods' quotes in the 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 (being unable to remember or understand English anymore), 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).
