2 Points

The minute you step into the dim-lit museum, the air feels thick with ancient whispers. Rows of venerable books and artifacts line the shelves, encapsulating epochs of history that you've always found mesmerizing. Each artifact carries its own weight, the kind of palpable heft that suggests a story brimming with centuries of lore.

You move among these relics, running your fingers over the dulled spines of aged tomes until a specific book catches your eye: an intricately designed leather-bound volume titled "Mythical Realms and Their Inhabitants." Drawn by a force you can't quite explain, you open the book, causing a blinding light to burst forth, flooding your senses.

You blink, capturing your breath as the light diminishes but not entirely. Your breath stutters as your eyes land on your hands—they're no longer your hands. Slender and elongated, moving gracefully at your will, they resemble that of a creature from a dream. Smooth, earth-tone leather gloves wrap around your fingers, hugging your hands snugly. You glance down and your heart hitches—the museum, your old clothes, everything familiar is gone.

You stand in a wooded meadow, your form clad in a tunic of forest colors reaching past your hips, cinched perfectly with a leather belt. Pants of a matching hue tuck neatly into long, sturdy boots, each fit for distant travels. A bow and a quiver filled with arrows lie elegantly against your back, held firmly by a leather sash.

"P-p-please...," you stammer, but your voice isn't your own. It's melodic, effortlessly capturing the timbre of wind through the trees.

Panic wells within you, a sensation both foreign and familiar. You try to speak again, but this time, the words come out as a gentle, musical language you've never heard yet completely understand. "Nyá oror ni?"

Your heart thunders in your chest as you try to plead, to remember the shape and sound of English words, but nothing comes. Only the elven language spills from your lips, and terror claws at your mind as it begins to cloud.

"No! I...I mustn't forget," you think, trying to cling to fragments of your mortal life. Names, places—everything blurs. Memories that had been the core of your being begin to fade, replaced with visions of ancient forests, archery training, battles against goblins, and an elven village.

"Vanyaurë nelyë," comes a gentle, but commanding voice in your mind. It's powerful yet soothing, multiple voices speaking as one. The gods. "Your human self was but a dream. This is our blessing."

"No, no, it's not a dream!" you scream, or at least try to, but the words come out in a wave of harmonious elven. Tears stream down your face as your cries for help transform into elven sobs. You shake your head violently, trying to dislodge the overwhelming memories and new personality, but the effort is futile.

Suddenly, you feel a warm, gentle touch on your shoulder. Your eyes focus, streaming tears cleared by the view of an ethereal elf woman. She speaks softly in elven, "Fanya assë. Lúna ten vilë."

"Who—who are you?" you try to say, but your voice has fully transitioned to elven. "Man mánalyë?"

"Marillë, cinwë mánta," she says, her voice wrapping you in an aura of calm. "I am Marillë, your wife. You saved me from a goblin's arrow, and we have been together ever since."

Your body trembles as she envelops you in a tender hug. She wipes away your tears with a loving hand. "Tyalalyë human life was just a dream," she sings, her voice an enchanting lullaby. "Aiwë nyë mornië ëa, alcar centanë ar."

Her words, the musical tones, and the melody draw you deeper into the waking dream that is your real life. The gods’ voices echo, "Forget your human life; remember your true self. Our blessing is upon you."

"Ar' elya nyë" (be with us), you whisper, the words flowing easily. Marillë's lips meet yours in an affectionate kiss, sealing your transformation.

"Yes, thaliónya, nyë lá marner. You are home, returning from another journey," assures Marillë. You find peace, the memories of human anguish replaced by pride and purpose.

Elenwë, you recount, a name that feels ancient yet personal. You remember every day, every quest, and every victory. This is your life. Thalión, the hero, the elven warrior. Your life with Marillë, your beloved wife.

You embrace your immortal being. Memories of combat training, goblin faces, and heroic feats flood back. To think you had ever lived another life seems absurd.

"Melyë," you say to Marillë, running a hand through your flowing golden hair, "It feels like forever since I last saw the village."

She smiles warmly, an exquisite vision. "Nárer Curunír, our people always awaited your return."

Your journey in this fantastical realm was far from over, tested but blessed by the gods—the magical dreamscape was your reality. Finally, you are the heroic elf you were meant to be, Elenwë, forever in love, forever immortal.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the 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).
