The Short History Of Malatesta
“My name is Malatesta De Rimini. We both know this, but my full name is Giovanni Malatesta De Rimini. I am the very soul that was condemned to Hell by Alighieri. I was condemned by him because I slaughtered my brother Paolo and this bitch of a lover Francesca. She deserved it, just as you do now. Paolo didn’t deserve to die, but I would have rather have him dead then to soil and shit on my name. This was in 1285. People don’t know exactly when it was but I do.
“They said I was called Giovanni the Lame, its amazing what 900 years can do for a man. Many a person I have killed, many a diplomat I have assassinated, its as though the history and future of the world was in my hands. But just as the man I am now, as I was then I made a few mistakes, especially with that bastard son of a bitch Hitler, I knew I should have taken him out earlier, he become more a disturbance than I had anticipated. I had to stop him. So I ended his ignorant reign right along with his little whore of a mistress. The world owes me that much. But I digress.
“The fact of the matter is that I have been the bearer of Death for over 900 years. And here you are just now becoming afraid of me because I am burning your home. Of all the things that I lived through, of all the things that I witnessed in my life. It is you that sickens me the most. As I have passed through this world and this time on this earth, I have always shadowed as a man, and since you are about to perish for the fact that you are mortal, maybe it is best that I tell you exactly why I am the way I am.
“I ruled Pesaro with an iron fist until my supposed death in 1304, now on that night in 1304, even my mind can not remember the exact date, I lay in my bed, dying, old age was a bitch you could say, and I closed my eyes and when I awoke, I was still alive, though my pale skin was golden and firm I was new I was better, and from this day on I can only say the reason I was denied death was the fact that God, nor the Devil wanted me, I was place permanently in Purgatory. I was doomed to roam this earth for the rest of eternity. Ask me if there is a God and a Devil and I will certainly tell you there is, other wise I would not be here now. My punishment is to stay on this earth for better, or for worse, and so I decided then that I would kill, its was the only thing I was good at, the only thing I could bide my time with. So now you know who I am, and why I am the way I am. Lets hope God and the Devil don’t reject you as well.”
