Elven Awakening from a Human Dream
0 Points
It was a typical Saturday afternoon when you decided to visit the museum. The familiar aroma of ancient paper and polished wood enveloped you as you wandered through the halls. Your eyes wandered from one exhibit to another, each filled with relics of a time long past. Then, like a beacon, a particular display caught your attention. It was a book, different from any you've ever seen. The cover, adorned with intricate elven runes, shimmered faintly as if it was alive.
As you approached, an inexplicable urge took hold. Your heart pounded in your chest, and your fingers trembled as you opened the book. A blinding light erupted from the pages, consuming you in its brilliance. Panic gripped you as you felt your very being unravel and weave itself anew.
"What's happening to me?" you scream, but the words come out garbled, foreign even to your own ears.
Your vision blurred and heartbeat thundered like war drums in your chest. When the light subsided, the museum was gone. Instead, you found yourself in an ancient forest bathed in the soft glow of twilight. The air was filled with the scent of pine and earth, the faint hum of life all around.
You raise your hands to your face, feeling the thin, elegant fingers encased in leather gloves. Your heart races faster as you take in your new formâa lean, athletic body adorned in an earthly-toned tunic that brushes past your hips, held in place by a leather belt. A long, flowing cape caressed your archer's boots, sturdy yet graceful. Strapped across your chest was a leather sash, complete with a quiver brimming with finely-fletched arrows and a crafted bow that felt like an extension of your arm.
Your skin, now light and almost pale, gleamed under the canopy's fragmented sunlight. You reached up, feeling the smooth contours of an ethereal face, realizing with a start that you were now devoid of any facial hair. Long, silky blonde hair cascaded around you like a waterfall of sunlight. The unmistakable shape of pointy elven ears graced either side of your head.
âNo, this canât be real,â you whisper, but even your voice had changed. It held a melodic, almost lyrical quality now, unlike any sound you had ever made before.
Your mind rebelled, trying to cling to fading fragments of who you once were, but they slipped away like sand through your fingers. Snatches of English wordsâsimple phrases, names of loved onesâwere swallowed by an onslaught of new memories and an entirely different language.
âNono⊠Whâwhere am I? What is this place? Help, someone please help!â you scream, but each word morphs into elven syllables midway, âĂv⊠amond⊠sil-ainë⊠yĂĄ?âŠ?â
Tears streamed down your face as you tried to fight off the foreign thoughts, the feeling of an ancient warrior's life weaving itself through your consciousness like roots claiming fertile soil. Familiar faces sprang into beingâloyal companions, brave warriors, and, above all, an ethereal elven woman, the very image of grace and strength. She approaches, her eyes filled with a warmth that had always belonged to you.
âAlmarĂ«, melda kwentala,â she speaks gently, her voice like a soothing melody. "Nai hopeera. Nai tirĂą na elen, harya silmĂ«..."*
She reaches out, wrapping her arms around you in a tender embrace, as reality frays at the edges of your human memories. Her presence calms the tempest within you. Her song, a gentle lullaby in the elven tongue, wraps around your terrified mind, a balm for your fractured thoughts.
âLĂłmequenta lin, lala lĂșsina. Melda lĂre lĂn, Ă«ari hĂ«acĂna,â she sings.*
More tears fall, but her fingers catch them, wiping them away with care. She holds your hands, her touch grounding you.
"Your human life was but a fleeting dream," she whispers softly, "You have returned home, my brave warrior. Do you not remember?"
Desperation claws at you as you try to speak, but only elven words come forth, completely alien yet intimately familiar. "Tanya melinyeâŠ" You stop, unable to utter another English word.
She kisses your brow, her lips imbued with a magical warmth that suffuses your soul. âRemember your true self, Elarion. Remember our life, our love.â
The godsâ voices reverberate in your mind, clear yet otherworldly. âYou are blessed, Elarion, our chosen. Forget your false human self, for it was merely a dream. Embrace your true elven nature.â Their words are a final caress, erasing any lingering doubt.
*âLĂstana i lienta tenna i men sĂ©rina. Ă liyu, Elarion, ĂĄ liyu lĂșsina.â
Your panic subsides as tranquility washes over you. You slowly recall the numerous battles won, the goblins vanquished, the elven womanâyour wifeâsaved and loved beyond time. The human memories evaporate like mist, leaving behind the brilliant clarity of an elven warrior's life.
With newfound peace, you embrace your wife. You tenderly kiss her, your heart swelling with the certainty of your true, eternal love.
âI have always been Elarion,â you say, your language sure, potent, true. "And I shall forever be by your side."
The gods have not cursed you; they have given you a gift. As Elarion, everything makes sense at last. Your comrades appear from the shadows, smiling, ready for the next adventure that awaits. This is your lifeâeternal, heroic, and filled with endless wonder.
And with your wife and loyal friends by your side, you step forward into the timeless journey that awaitsâyour true journey, your true self, your eternal destiny.
*The forests sing, the arrows fly, and you, Elarion, are home. Truly and forevermore.

*Translation:
"There, my dear one. Do not weep. You are a star, have light..."
"Singing the night, gently slumbering. Your dear song, in the pure air."
"Rest now, until the road is bright. Remember, Elarion, remember gently."

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the 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, a 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/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). 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 the elf reader knew that he had always been a heroic elf and he 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 (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 other elves besides the reader)), 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).
