Mattina Luminosa's fight against the world

Valentino Rolento and his crazy cult phenomenon

This run down church is hidden by the only thing the gods created that was pure. Life. This forest protects us. It keeps us safe from the cold, harsh world we were brought into, by the gods. The gods give us life, life which we shall not waste. This life of mine is missing something. I do not deserve to be here, among these people, my fellow worshippers. I deserve to live with the gods. I DESERVE that. The gods have cursed me with a mortal body, I cannot live like this much longer. I MUST become one with the gods. Though any means necessary.

Valentino Rolento. Leader of the red cross cult that run the town of Valetsio. Valentino joined the cult when he was a teenager, looking for something more to his life, he craved love among people. He quickly gained the trust of the previous cult leader and slit his throat in the middle of the night and forging a note stating that Valentino would be to become the next leader. Now, with all the power he has over the cult and town, Valentino ran things smoothly. he spent thousands, possibly even millions on establishing safety for the people of Valetsio. However, His list of crimes is endless. Murder is a very common occurrence in this town, being covered up majority of the time. Using public. services, Valentino managed to pull the stings on the town, allowing the cult to grow, and the town to fall into its grasps without anyone knowing. His goal: ascend to the heavens and become a god. His stand Avenged Sevenfold shall help him reach this goal. Valentino will stop at nothing to reach his goal, anyone that opposes him is destined to perish a grim fate.

Deep in the forest, there lies an abandoned and half torn old church. In the centre, there kneels Valentino, his hands clasped, and his eyes shut, mouthing a prayer. He looks up to the giant red cross on the wall, grinning. His sinister eyes practically glowing green. Valentino stands up, facing the other direction looking down at 4 robed figures. "Go my children, hunt down this enemy of ours with your new powers, prove to your church you are worthy to stand here alive. Prove your worth to the gods!" The four of them left, leaving only Valentino with himself and his stand "our next move...we must think carefully, for one miss step could destroy our chance at destiny" the stand spoke, facing Valentino "our goal Is pure and guided by the gods. We cannot fail. Since before my life started the gods have smiled on my existence, I am the one who shall join them in eternity" Valentino picked up a cross and pulling out of it, a knife. "when the time comes, it will be this knife that kills me. It will be you who does it, my avenged sevenfold. If we are to ever see the heavens, we are to die by our second pair of hands" Valentino smiled.

Valentino stood up and walked out from the forest and down the hill, through the tunnel and into the town where he was greeted by an elderly woman "oh thank you Mr Rolento! You paid for my surgery! My cancer is gone Mr Rolento! Oh, thank you" "please miss, do no thank me, thank the town. Without the help of this towns donations nothing we do would be possible. Do good deeds, show this town your gratitude by living a long and happy life while also making others happy." Valentino smiled to her. "I will Mr Rolento, I promise you that! Goodbye now!" the elderly women left all cheery. As Valentino continued deeper into town, he walked into a bank, as he was talking to the cashier a man stood behind him and pointed a gun at his back, the man was shaking, nervous and scared. "Open up the register now!" I mean it! Ill shoot him" the man was stuttering his words. His eyes widened with a fearful look, yet his face screamed anger. "Please sir, tell me your name" Valentino spoke without breaking a sweat. "My name? what's it matters!? Just get me some money from that till there!" the man was completely focusing on nothing but the gun in his hand. "Allow me to help you. I am Valentino Rolento of the red cross church. I am part of an organisation that helps people such as yourself. Now please sir, allow me to help and give me your name." Valentino's voice was smooth and calming, his beautifully deep voice could enchant any man or women, it was hypnosis to them. "My name is Antonio..." the man said, his guard was clearly lowered. Valentino turned around to face him, staring him in the eyes. "Please Antonio. Do not do this. This act is despicable, I can tell this is not like you. To me, you are not the hardened thug you look to be to others. I see a man, worried, scared. A man who just needs support. I can give you that support. Please let me help you, the last thing I want to see is an innocent man behind bars for doing something in a desperate situation" Valentino was smiling the entire time.
