Jayden scrambled to his feet and stared in disbelief. He was looking at... himself? same eye color, same build. Wow, I’m short... But this other version of him was dressed in gleaming gold armor, with three angelic wings on each side. he had blond hair

"W-Who are you?!" Jayden demanded.

The twin laughed, shaking his head. "No! I’m not one of those Christian archangels. My name is Jacob, the Fallen Angel. You see, I committed a seven deadly sin—Wrath, to be exact. But you don’t want to hear my story. The question is: will you join me? I’ll make you a Commander in my army."

Pouting slightly, he said, "Welp, I’ve got places to be." The room began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had hit, and a massive upside-down golden triangle materialized in the air, with a glowing star inside. Jacob smirked one last time and said, "I’ll be keeping my eye on you!"

In a flash of divine golden light, Jacob vanished.
