"Chronicles of Enedhrel: Lost in an Elven Dream"
0 Points
The cool, dimly lit hall of the museum is eerily silent as you wander past centuries-old artifacts and sepia-toned books, each encased in glass. You’re drawn inexplicably to a tome settled on a pedestal in the center of the room—a battered volume titled "The Chronicles of Enedhrel." Its cover is an elaborate lattice of forest creatures and elven script, ancient and indecipherable.
With a hundred thoughts swirling about in your mind, you gingerly reach out to open the book, curiosity pushing you forward. Suddenly, a blinding white light explodes from its pages, wrapping around you like a cocoon. Your heartbeat thunders in your ears, but before you can react, the light tightens its grip.
The world shifts beneath your feet. Your jeans and t-shirt dissolve into glowing motes of light, replaced by an intricate elven tunic that flows past your hips, cinched by a leather belt. Medieval-styled pants extend down to a pair of archer's long leather boots, perfect for distant travels. A leather sash wraps around your shoulder, bearing a quiver brimming with arrows and a newly crafted bow. Archer's gloves cover your unfamiliar hands. A long, flowing cape drapes elegantly down your back, touching the forest floor of your new surroundings.
"What... what is happening?" you breathe, attempting to verbalize your shock.
Nóla! La mel-lil!"
The words tumble from your lips, but they aren't English. Panic overtakes you as you realize you can't remember the meaning of any English words—your native tongue lost to a web of melodic, foreign syllables.
“No! Help! Someone!” You try again, but what comes out is, “Mani ten’ rashya! Amin!”
The dizziness intensifies, and your voice no longer sounds like your own. It’s deeper, smoother, fitting for someone of elven nobility. Terrified, you clutch your head as memories that aren’t yours begin to flood your mind. Archery lessons, battles with goblins, the serene beauty of an elven village—all rise to the surface, vying for dominance.
“Please, no! I don’t want to forget!” you cry out, tears streaming down your face.
“Alae seizi ainna. Nae il’ estela,” a female voice insists softly from beside you.
You turn, your sight blurred, but managed to discern an elven woman, her features radiating an ethereal beauty that leaves you breathless. Her hands cup your face, gentle yet firm.
“Melithen, Quel esta er’ mani ten’ luventa lir vara,” she whispers soothingly, her voice singing with the magic of the world you now belong to. The clarity you once held onto so fiercely now drifts away like leaves in an autumn breeze.
“El! El!” you gasp, struggling to fight. But then she kisses you, softly, truly. The shock causes the final threads of your human life to fray and snap. In the midst of this intimate bond, your memories of Earth dissolve, leaving behind the vibrant, everlasting tapestry of Enedhrel.
“Esta mel, hodo,” she continues, softly singing an elven lullaby, your heart filled with confusion and comfort. “Tir palurin, a hon amin...”
Your once clouded mind now clears under her touch. The confusion, the fear, they melt away to reveal the joy your heart has always known—the joy of seeing your beloved wife, Elarien.
“Elarien,” you breathe, recognizing her fully, your memories aligning with your new, true self. Tears of relief spill from your eyes, but they are swiftly wiped away by her gentle touch.
“It’s okay, Lómion,” she reassures you, "It was all a dream, dear husband. You are home."
The words resonate deep within you, erasing all doubts. You are Lómion, the brave elven warrior of Enedhrel. You see her smile warmly, and you remember it all—how you saved her from a goblin attack, your marriage, your constant battles for your village.
“I was lost in a daydream,” you murmur, the remnants of your past human self now nothing more than a fading mist. Her presence, her love, grounds you, making every step you took into this life seem right.
Voices echo within your mind as the gods speak, their words a reassuring hymn. "Lómion, amin seler, tae sen’ fuin. Ye sil vanwa, ten' lle na huine ar'na took."
"Your old life was but a shadow," they declare. "Embrace your true essence, brave warrior."
You smile, listening to Elarien’s sweet lullaby. "Vorn, sinome na n’el’ta lim e ilya elen."
Indeed, the forest feels alive around you, vibrant and eternal. You take a deep breath, finally realizing that there is nothing of the old you here.
“I am home,” you say definitively, pulling Elarien closer, feeling the strength of her love and the truth of your purpose. Alonow, you pledge silently to remain the protector you’ve always been, the courageous elf who has long fought the evils of this enchanted realm.
Your journey as Lómion has just truly begun, and there’s no trace of the world you left behind.

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 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 (the gods have blessed the reader by removing all of his human personality and memories) 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 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 (the reader is now unable to remember English and cannot understand English anymore (with no more English words from any characters in this story after the reader's English language fully shifted to an elven language) thus English has become alien to the reader, much as English is unfamiliar to all other elves), 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).
