"Shadows of Thra: The Awakening of Sir Lythian"

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of an average male human reader (about 6 feet tall) turning into a male gelfling (from The Dark Crystal franchise) Paladin from the Vapra Clan, complete with instant clothes change (the human clothes instantly turning into the Paladin outfit from the Vapra Clan), height regression (until he is no longer human-sized and is instead gelfling-sized at around 4 feet tall), age change, supernatural powers gain (including but not limited to dreamfasting, dream space ability, and dream etching), reality change (the reader's real world warping and becoming an the world of The Dark Crystal, albeit in an alternate timeline where the skeksis were fully defeated and the gelflings remain widespread and thriving), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personality and memories replaced with a gelfling's personality and memories, despite his best efforts on fighting off the new memories and personality, making him completely forget about being a human and only remember being a gelfling). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. For the male gelfling reader's appearance (after the human reader turned into him), he is like other gelflings; having four-fingered hands (rather than five unlike his previous human self), slenderly built, and with wide, triangular face tapering to a pointed chin. He also has large, wide eyes that are set apart on either side of a flattish nose. He has long light (silver-white) hair, from which his large, pointed ears protrudes. He wears an outfit very much like the other gelflings who are Paladins. For his personality, he is one of the most skilled musicians of his clan, he yearns to find the source of a mysterious song he had dreamed of throughout his early life, and is a moderately skilled lute player. A skilled warrior, the gelfling Paladin reader favors swords and blades in battle, and is proficient enough to best skeksis in single combat. His primary task (like other Paladins of the Vapra Clan) is to defend the Gelfling capital of Ha'rar, though he also guards trade caravans, as well as undertake rescue missions and capture fugitives. Male paladins (including the gelfling Paladin reader) are typically granted the title of "sir", while females are referred to as "lady". Any of the Paladins who act dishonestly could be stripped of their title (the gelfling Paladin reader has never acted dishonesty). Here is the culture of the Vapra Clan (according to the Dark Crystal franchise); The Vapra are renowned for their elegant appearance, with elaborate clothing, jewels and hairstyles being common even among laborers. These luxuries are in large part thanks to their political proximity to the Skeksis, which they would emphasize in order to display their special status. The Vapra's manner of speaking modern gelfling also bear similarities to the accent used by some of the Skeksis when not speaking their own language. Because of their high literacy rate, most Vapra are more knowledgeable than the average Gelfling in regards to history and lore. Because of their former connection to the Skeksis (before the Skeksis were defeated in this alternate timeline) and the constant flow of merchants travelling along the Black River, the Vapra live a relatively leisurely life which gives them more opportunities to indulge in intellectual pursuits. This clan also boasts a larger number of artisans than others, famous throughout Skarith for their metalwork and colored glass products. The extent of Vapran labor specializations further differentiates them from other clans through the absence of communal work, with each individual having their own schedule. On the night before the twice annual Celebration of the Sister Moons, the Vapra would celebrate Chrysalisday, dedicated to the Unamoth, their sigil animal. Traditionally, Vapran youths would move in a procession to the wharf, carrying paper lanterns which would be released into the sky and rise to the Sister Moons. While Ha'rar's position as an important trade center gives it access to numerous regional dishes and ingredients, the Vapra have their own indigenous cuisine which is characterized by its emphasis on sweetness rather than spiciness, due largely to the abundance of sugarwood in the mountain region they inhabit. The Vapra are rivaled only by the Sifa Clan in their aerial abilities (only female gelflings have wings on their back and can fly), thanks largely to the air currents and steam jets characterizing their mountain homeland. The Vapra credits their skill in flight as the reason why (formerly) the Skeksis chose their clan as the highest, and openly encourages its mastery by carving out vents throughout their villages, as well as incorporating doorways on the roofs of their houses. Skill in flight is a sign of prestige among the Vapra, with females settling disputes with aerial trials and males wearing garments including wing-shaped capes. The story is that the reader was minding his own business, but then his reality started to change almost instantly, leaving him on the planet of Thra (more specifically, the Citadel, the capital building located in Ha'rar) rather than on Earth in his suburban home; albeit in an alternate Dark Crystal timeline where the skeksis have been truly defeated by the heroic gelflings, rather than the gelflings being almost extinct as in the main timeline. After all of that happened, his body and mind transformation occurs next. During the mental changes, the reader is truly terrified/horrified about losing his own memories and personality as a human (he does not want to forget his personality or memories), 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/invading gelfling memories/personality), but his mental fight is in vain, making him completely forget all about his mundane human life and he only remembers being a gelfling (complete with a new name fitting for an gelfling, rather than an old human name he once remembered having) who has always lived in Thra (in an alternate Dark Crystal timeline where gelflings remain widespread and successful, a timeline where the skeksis had been defeated and prevented the mass slaughter of gelflings). To aid in the now-gelfling reader's transforming mind, a beautiful female gelfling Paladin comes up to the reader and comforts him with a gentle hug, an affectionate kiss, and telling him to remember who he really is (a gelfling), making the reader realize that the gelfling woman comforting him is his caring, understanding, and loving wife (whom the gelfling reader truly loves, cares, and understands, having always known her), and the reader is genuinely happy to know that his previous human life was only a daydream (he is completely unaware of ever being a human and he knows that he has always been a gelfling) and is happy that his life as a gelfling (where he enjoys being with his gelfling wife) is his only true life. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. 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).
