"Eternal Hero: Embracing an Elven Destiny"
1 Points
You stood in the museum, your eyes trailing over ancient artifacts and centuries-old books displayed behind glass cases. The smell of old parchment and the quiet atmosphere made this place feel almost otherworldly. Amidst the rows and rows of historical treasures, one particular book grabbed your attention. It was leather-bound, its cover intricately designed with patterns you couldn’t quite place—a blend of Celtic knots and something else that seemed... mystical.
Your hands trembled slightly as you reached for it. The moment your fingers grazed the cover, the book seemed to hum with life. As you cautiously opened it, a blinding light burst forth, engulfing you.
Your body felt weightless as the light filled every inch of the room. The world around you began to blur, the walls of the museum fading away, replaced by towering trees and the sweet scent of rich earth. It happened so quickly that you barely had time to react.
A chill ran down your spine as your body started to change. Your once dull and human form stretched and morphed. The jeans and t-shirt you wore transformed into a medieval elven tunic that reached past your hips. A leather belt cinched around your waist, keeping the tunic in place. You felt a long cape cascade over your shoulders, reaching down to a new pair of archer’s long leather boots. Your pants changed to medieval-styled, neatly tucked into those boots—clearly built for distant travels, you could somehow tell.
You raised your hands, now covered in archer’s leather gloves, and touched your face. There was no stubble anymore. You felt an ethereal smoothness, a handsomeness that was foreign and yet, strangely, familiar. You caught a glimpse of your reflection in a pool nearby; blue irises stared back at you, framed by long blonde hair. Your ears—long and pointy, unmistakably elven—peered through your hair.
Your heart pounded as your senses grew sharper. Every leaf rustle, every distant bird call, every scent from the forest was magnified. Immortal. Forever youthful. The words echoed in your mind as if whispered by unseen entities.
Then came the most terrifying part: your mind began to cloud. Memories of your human life—birthdays, family gatherings, friendships—started slipping away like sand through fingers. You tried to hold on, panic rising in your chest.
"No, this isn't real!" you screamed, but the words came out garbled, shifting before your ears into an unfamiliar tongue.
"Ea-ne malith," you said, then paused in horror. What was that? You tried again, but your English was gone, replaced by smooth, lyrical elven words. "Nae! Family—friends—help me!"
Tears streamed down your face. You attempted to shake your head, but it felt impossibly heavy, laden with memories that weren't your own. Memories of archery training, battles with goblins, and saving an elven woman from a vicious attack began to intersect with the remnants of your human life.
"Human? No, you are elven. You are home," the gods’ voices echoed in elven inside your head. "Your human life was but a dream, a fabrication. This is your true form, your true life."
"Nae!" you cried out. "It can't be!"
Your legs buckled as dizziness overwhelmed you. Then, you felt a pair of warm, comforting hands on your cheeks. A beautiful, ethereal female elf knelt beside you, her eyes filled with understanding.
“Valü saelora,¹ my beloved,” she murmured gently, wiping away your tears with a soft caress. She held your hands, leaning in to kiss you, calming the whirlwind in your mind.
"Linde winya, naimanya ten' i cemen yassen mirilye.²" She began to sing a quiet, soothing elven lullaby. Her voice was like a balm to your frenzied thoughts.
“The life of a human is but a fleeting illusion,” she continued in the elven language. “You were returning home, daydreaming, but now you are back. Remember your true self."
In a final effort, you screamed, “No, my name is—” But even your name had vanished. All that remained were your elven identity and the elven life you led. You looked at her, a sense of strange familiarity settling in.
“Tarathiel,” you whispered your own name, the name you had always known in this elven realm. A memory of you saving this woman’s life from a goblin attack surfaced, clear and vivid. She was your wife. You had always known and loved her.
“Yes, Tarathiel, you are home,” she smiled, her voice filled with love and warmth.
The gods' voices resonated one last time, "Forget your human delusions, Tarathiel. You are our chosen hero, and this is the world you were meant to save."
All remnants of your mortal existence dissolved like mist. The elven warrior inside you awoke fully. Life as a brave, courageous, and faithful elf warrior was who you truly were, is, and will forever be.
With your elven wife by your side and your elven companions awaiting your command, your immortal journey in this fantastical realm had finally begun for the first time. The gods had blessed you, turning a mere human into an eternal hero of their creation.
ÂąValĂĽ saelora: My beloved
²Linde winya, naimanya ten' i cemen yassen mirilye: "Sing anew, my light in the world where we gather joy."
Your heart soared as you prepared for the adventures that awaited—without a single memory of ever being human to burden you.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a 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).
