The museum was quiet, almost eerily so, as you wandered the dimly lit halls. Ancient artifacts, relics from times long past, stared back at you from behind their glass enclosures. You had always been intrigued by fantasy and myth, lured by the charm of enchanted worlds and legendary beings. Today, you found yourself entranced by a dusty, old book with an ornate cover locked in a glass case. That book, placed at the center of a long-abandoned exhibit, seemed to call out to you in a way you couldn't ignore.

As you finally reached out to flip it open, a torrent of blinding light erupted from the pages, wrapping you in its luminous embrace. Panic set in, and you tried to step back, but the light held you firm as everything around you began to shift and warp.

---

The blinding glow slowly faded, and you found yourself standing in a dense, wooded meadow brimming with life. The rich scent of earth and foliage filled your senses, more vivid and intense than anything you had ever experienced. You glanced down and gasped. Your attire had transformed remarkably: an elven tunic extending past your hips, a firmly buckled leather belt, and medieval-styled pants tucked underneath archer's leather boots. A flowing cape draped over your shoulders, reaching the ground by your feet.

Your hands, encased in leather gloves, gripped tightly onto a finely-crafted bow and a quiver full of arrows was slung across your back, supported by a leather sash strapped around your shoulder. You felt the weight settle into place naturally. Nearly numb with shock, you reached up and felt the long, pointy ears that now protruded from your head. Your hair was long and blonde, cascading down your back.

"This can't be real," you muttered. But your voice—deep yet melodic, effeminate yet edged with strength—was unrecognizable. Panic surged anew as the world around you confirmed itself as no Earthly realm.

The gods' voices, ancient and powerful, resonated inside your mind. "Welcome home. Forget the human dream; cherish your true elven existence."

In indescribable terror, you fought the new memories flooding in; you clung desperately to your fleeting human identity. “Help! Somebody, please!” you screamed, still in perfect English, but the words were turning at the tips of your tongue, shifting into strange, lyrical phrases. "No! I am not an elf! I am..."

***"Eldar nimya, entuluva!"*** The words came, not yours, but the gods’.

---

Each heartbeat quickened the pace of your transformation. The human features, memories, and the language of English—everything you had known—crumbled into dust. "What... What happened..." you attempted in English, but the sentence shifted, twisted in your mouth into an elven phrase: ***“Man... mani marte...”***

You dropped to your knees, hands gripping your head in torment. Tears welled as the last strains of your old life drained away. Faces of your human family and friends blurred, names vanished. Modern life, technology, and science became illusions, faded dreams.

***”Man ná tanya...? Man ná atarinyë?”***

You pleaded, prayer-like, for the gods to aid you in remembering your true self. The sensation was like being submerged in a warm pool, the fighting ceased, surrendering into an endless embrace. The gods’ presence grew comforting in its familiarity.

---

In a heartbeat, hands settled gently on your shoulders. A slender, ethereal elf maiden, her eyes filled with warmth and unyielding love, knelt before you. "Amin mela lle," she said, a phrase you somehow understood perfectly: ***"I love you."***

A gentle kiss was pressed to your forehead, the affectionate touch of deep, eternal love. She softly wiped away your tears and, with a heartfelt embrace, sang a lullaby that washed over you, soothing every lingering fragment of horror.

***"Láta lá naurë; asàrë lantaya ve elen. Ilyë mahalmí, aistestë lómë."*** she sang, **"Let the fire fall; rest like the star. All dreams, night blesses."***

The words brought an impossible calm. The female elf, your wife, conveyed the blessed return to your true home and form. ***“Tenn’ Ambar-metta. Elyë ná Lómë’sárlima,”*** she whispered, "You're an elf."

Earthed in these truths, you accepted her and the embrace of countless centuries together. No longer did you remember once being human; that life dissolved like mist, leaving only the real—an undying existence as an elven warrior, husband, comrade, and servant of the gods.

---

Such was your legacy: guided by the gods' hands, blessed into a hero's path. As you stood, the woods around your home village proudly welcoming you back, you realized, with peace and contentment, you had always been—and will always be—an elf.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of an average male human reader turning into a 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 instant clothes change, 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), instant language shift (changing from English to an elven language, yet the reader now completely understood this new language whilst no longer able to remember or speak English, making English completely unfamiliar to him and he could no longer remember what English words mean, and no longer know what English sounds like, nor could he know how to say English words or sentences, since English has become completely foreign to him), 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 he could no longer understand English, since English has become completely foreign to him, and all he can say and remember are words/sentences in an eleven language), 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 (nor does he (or other elves) understand what English words mean), 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 entirely in elven language (no translations), even the reader's language shift during his panic (the reader is, despite his best efforts, now unable to remember English and cannot understand English (being 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 the reader and all other elves)). There should also be the lyrics to the lullaby that the elf woman is quietly singing to the transforming reader as a successful effort to comfort the now-elven 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).
