"Emerald Enchantment: The Elven Awakening"
2 Points
You stand in the dimly lit museum, dust motes drifting lazily through beams of light seeping in through ancient windows. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and leather-bound tomes. Your fingers delicately trace the spines of ancient books, each promising tales of heroic deeds and mythical realms. One book, in particular, catches your eye: a tome bound in worn, emerald-green leather, adorned with golden elven runes. Unfamiliar symbols call to you, compelling you to open it.
As you lift the heavy cover, a blinding light erupts from its pages, engulfing you in an overwhelming brilliance. Panic sets in as your vision is swallowed by the radiance. You feel your body being stretched, twisted, reshaped by an unseen force.
"Wh-what is happening to me?!" you manage to cry out, though your voice feels distant and alien.
Your skin tingles as it pales into a nearly translucent shade. Your face contorts, becoming more ethereal and undeniably handsome. You watch in horror as your ears elongate into graceful, pointed forms.
Hands shoot up to your faceâa face now devoid of the faint stubble you have known all your life. The sensation is surreal. You can feel your body growing thinner, leaner, and yet far more powerful and agile. Your new posture exudes elegance and grace, each movement fluid as though choreographed by nature itself.
The clothes you wear melt away, replaced by a medieval elven tunic in earthy greens and browns that reaches past your hips. A leather belt tightens around your waist, securing the tunic in place. You feel the weight of a quiver filled with arrows and the slight pressure of a leather sash wrapped around your shoulder and back, holding a finely crafted bow. Long, flowing cape brushes against archer's leather boots, built for long journeys under the canopies of ancient forests. Leather gloves encase your hands, completing the transformation.
This should be impossible. You must be dreaming! Your memories of mundane, modern life start to blur, fragmenting into incoherent pieces. You try to form a coherent thought, a remnant of your old self. But the words... the words don't come.
âH-help... I... don't... re-memory...â The sentence crumbles and transforms. The English words escape you, replaced by elven phrases that seem both foreign and familiar.
âVal-...gar alanĂ«,â you stammer, your heart pounding as the last fragments of English shatter.
"Resist... fight it," you think, shaking your head desperately. Tears begin to stream down your newly transformed face. You scream, sobbing as visions of battles against goblins, skilled archery, and an idyllic life in an elven village flood your mind, displacing every recollection of your former self.
«Ishada vilya na, ishana lotha lå?» calls a sweet, melodic voice. An ethereal-looking female elf steps into the clearing of your mind, her eyes filled with understanding.
With a gentle hug, she pulls you close, wiping the tears from your cheeks. âHinanya nyĂ« laita, meldo. ManĂ« tenya lĂșmĂ« tĂĄ unqa-Ă«a lavĂ«a cende.â Her voice soothes you even as your resistance wanes.
âLĂĄ. Ăva nĂĄnyĂ«,â you whisper frantically, but the words mean nothing now. How can you forget who you are? How canâ
Her lips meet yours in an affectionate, genuine kiss. An elven lullaby flows from her, as a river of tranquility.
âLĂriĂ«, lirĂșmanye,
Elda silmë, nairea ea.
Tenna en lĂșmĂ« mĂ©lath.â
The gods' voices boom within your mind, commanding:
"Forget the dreams of mortality, mortal life was a fleeting illusion. You are blessed, chosen for immortality by our hands. Rejoice, for you are an elven hero."
You feel the last remnants of your humanity dissolving, replaced with an unshakeable belief in this new existence. The sensation of bliss and wholeness washes over you, replacing fear with acceptance.
The female elf looks into your eyes, her affection evident. «Ăvalmanya len, ĂłmĂ« nala nin palla vilyat. AnyelĂ« len pella secĂ«. AnalyiĂ«?»
She is right. This is home. This is reality. And the life you thought you had lived... a mere daydream. You have returned from a quest, fulfilling your role as a courageous warrior, a proud husband, and a devout follower of the gods.
âThis is real. I am real,â you whisper in the flowing elven tongue, a language you now completely understand and can only speak. You gaze at your beautiful wife, who waits with patience and love. You smile, embracing this eternal life, this existence filled with purpose and grace.
You are a warrior of the elves, blessed by the gods. You have always been, and shall always be, eternally young, and eternally elven.

Prompt: Write the 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 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 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, 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 (they blessed the reader by 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 in elven language 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).
