A Heavenly Encore: The Transformation into Lucifer Morningstar's Twin Brothers

Your eyelids fluttered, the world dizzying as you attempted to maintain your balance. A bizarre sensation prickled every inch of your skin, like a billion microscopic needles pricking your flesh simultaneously. Beside you, your friend - or was it your sibling? - grunted, staggering under the same unseeable force. Terrifyingly, no noise seemed to come from their mouth, though they were clearly trying to speak. Distantly, you were aware of a chiming laughter dancing through the eerie silence. The sound was high and raucous – confident, self-assured. It was a sound that matched the figure before you; Lucifer Morningstar, the comical, charismatic face of Hell. A sinister grin stretched across his face, his sharp, black lips curling back over razor-pointed teeth. He held up a hand laden with jewellery, his fingers long and thin. A golden ring adorned his pinkie finger, sparkling ominously as the mounting pressure around you increased. His eyes, yellow with red slit pupils, twinkled menacingly. “Now, let’s get this show on the road, shall we?” His voice rasped, echoing in your head. But before you could respond, even imagine what he planned, the world twisted and distorted. Your body was no longer your own; it was as if an intruder had taken residence inside of you. Your skin prickled, suddenly cold and unnervingly smooth. Glancing down, you saw the once familiar sight of your body transformed. Your old attire was simply gone, replaced by the sight of a pristine, white tailcoat suit, gloves covering your hands. Your previously normal stature seemed to elongate, a growth spurt that took mere moments. Almost simultaneously, you felt your body become slimmer, more willowy, as if shedding unwanted weight. A distant part of your mind registered that you had also inexplicably aged, your juvenile form maturing in mere seconds. Looking over at your friend, you were met with your own reflection; blonde hair, black lips, yellow eyes glowing back at you. The identical outfit and golden ring, completing a perfect picture of duplication. It's as if your past selves had been overwritten. You struggled to remember your past self, your past memories, but they were distant, foggy. Your minds were the last to go. Lucifer’s laughter – taunting, mocking – bounced around your skull like a ping-pong ball. “Come, come now. Where’s your fight?” His voice held a light note of curiosity, amused by your futile resistance. His personality invaded your consciousness, the essence of Lucifer Morningstar unfurling like a poisonous flower. You felt your vocabulary shift; puns, jokes, quips filled your mind. Gone were your once mundane memories, replaced with endless knowledge of Hell and its residents. Images of Lilith flitted past, the love you felt towards her undeniable. Memories of shared laughs, of passionate kisses and romantic nights consumed you. Despite your greatest effort, you accepted them; welcomed them. As his personality engulfed your struggling mind, he leaned back on his cane, mirroring your every move. The ring on your finger – his finger – glowed golden, a beacon shining brightly against the encroaching darkness consuming your mind. And then, in a heartbeat, it was over. You were him. Lucifer Morningstar, duplicated. You glanced over at your partner, taking in their identical appearance. The terrifying reality sank in; your original personalities and memories had been completely and permanently replaced. Lucifer chuckled, satisfied with his cold-hearted revenge. “Welcome to the life of Lucifer Morningstar. Enjoy the ride…” There was a moment of intense silence before he added, a glint in his eyes, “...I know I always do.” As he vanished, leaving you and your modified companion alone in Hell, you could only think one thing: You were Lucifer Morningstar. All other thoughts, doubts, fears - who you'd been before - had been erased. Now and forever, you were Lucifer Morningstar. And that was one fact that would never change.
