The museum’s air felt heavy with ancient secrets, each artifact whispering tales of forgotten eras. You strolled through the labyrinth of exhibits, eyes feasting on relics of old while a vague scent of aged parchment and polished wood lingered in the air. One exhibit stood out—a glass case showcasing an old, leather-bound book titled "The Chronicles of the Forgotten Realms." Almost magnetically, you were drawn to it.
The book teased with the allure of fantastical beings and medieval lore, calling to the part of you that always longed for something more than mundane existence. You opened it, flipping through pages filled with intricate illustrations of elves, goblins, dragons, and enchanted forests. Suddenly, a blinding light exploded from the book, searing the images into your mind and engulfing your vision.
Your senses are overwhelmed as your body undergoes a dramatic overhaul. The ceiling lights of the museum disappear, replaced by the radiant sun filtered through the canopy of ancient trees. Your heartbeat races, accompanied by a strange, melodic chanting in the background. You feel your body shift and stretch, taking on a new elegant form.
First, your mundane clothes dissolve, replaced by a tunic of verdant green and earthy browns that reaches past your hips. A sturdy leather belt fastens it, while a long, flowing cape unfurls behind you, brushing against your newfound archer's boots. Gloves snugly encase your hands, which now grasp a bow and quiver filled with arrows, effortlessly strapped across your shoulder with a leather sash.
You catch sight of your reflection in a nearby stream. Your ears lengthen, becoming pointed and distinctly elven. Your once plain features contort into an ethereal, handsome visage, your new blue eyes shimmering with the light of the forest. Long, blonde hair cascades down your shoulders, framing your now ageless face. The last remnants of your former life are swept away; even your voice shifts, becoming gracefully melodic.
Your senses sharpen beyond human comprehension—each leaf's rustle, each distant call of a forest creature, all become clear. A strange new language, an elven tongue, invades your thoughts. You begin to panic, desperately trying to hold onto your last threads of humanity.
"This isn't real... This can't be happening!" you shout, but the words distort and morph. "T�aka l�mn... T�aka—"
Memories of a mortal life—your childhood, your friends, your family—begin to fragment. You cry out, "Help! Someone help me!", but the plea emerges in a language that feels both alien and oddly natural to you. "D�lam! Govand�anen!"
Tears well in your eyes as you desperately try to recall your former life. But the gods’ voices, reverberating through your mind, insist otherwise.
"Alas, mortal memories are but fleeting dreams. Accept our blessing and embrace your true self. Elarion the Brave, this is your destiny."
Your head throbs with a painful rush of foreign memories—battlefields filled with goblins, enchanting nights in elven village, and a life eternally secured by divinity. You're losing grip. With every passing second, your past fades further into oblivion.
"Yours is not a curse but a blessing," the divine voices intone. "The mortal life was but a shadow. Embrace your true form and fate."
You try to resist, shaking your head, "No, I... I'm human!" But language betrays you again. "B�n... t�anar..."
A gentle touch brings you back from the brink of despair. You turn to see a beautiful, ethereal adult female elf with eyes full of compassion. She wipes away your tears, her touch a balm to your fracturing soul.
"Melin�l," she softly whispers. The name strikes a chord in you, painful yet soothing. "You've returned to me at last, my brave one."
You hesitate, a flicker of recognition sparking through the haze. "A�... a�an," you stammer, fighting against the rising tide of elven memories.
"Hush, my love," she says, holding your hands. She leans close and plants a gentle kiss on your lips filled with genuine affection. Then, she begins to sing a lullaby.
"Bring sleep to fleeting mind,
Rest now, forget the past,
Dream of lands divine,
Where love forever lasts."
Her song seeps into your consciousness, each note erasing your human doubts, replacing them with clarity and peace.
"The human life you imagine," she continues, her voice a soothing melody, "it was merely a daydream. You are home now. You are Elarion, my husband and our people's hero."
As the memories lock into place, you finally accept them. The face of your elven wife becomes clear—she is your heart, your home, your everything. "I am Elarion," you repeat, conviction solidifying. "And this is my true life."
The gods' voices swell in approval. "Well done, child of the forest. You are now and forever an elf, beloved of the woods, blessed by the divine."
The museum, the world of men, all seem so far away now, almost laughably improbable. You have found your place in the eternal green, alongside your beloved, guided by your gods. This is your reality, and you have no memory of another.
Your journey as Elarion feels both new and intimately familiar. The centuries-old battles, cherished moments with your elven wife, the undying quest to protect your realm—all are facets of your existence, just as they always have been.
"Welcome home," she whispers one last time, and you know without doubt that you are exactly where you belong.

Prompt: Write the 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, 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 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 about English and all he said and remember are elven words), 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 (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 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).
