Pope Leo's daughter, Kitty, is a witch who is always engaging herself in some form of adventure -- telling stories entwined within stories. All, of course, told from behind the scenes of the Vatican.
"I looked at him with glassy eyes, regretting deeply all the time I had invested in coming to know him.  Day after day – whenever I had the urge, that is – I’d ventured forth dreamily in the outskirts of the Vatican, privately, away from my father.  Sometimes he’d even set aside special time for me to visit him, even if he was busy with “pack business.”
"But still.  Nothing.  Nothing more than the cradle of my black, dismal silence.  Screams from a primal spirit.  My Emanuel.
I knew him all too well.  He was just so out of this world.  The passion that I felt..."

Vatican Nights

	Oftentimes, I thought of the Lord.  I thought of his purposes for me, why he had left me cold and alone like this.  But most of all, I wondered to him why he had allowed me to rebel against Him, to submit to the Goddess’ ways rather than His.


	“I love You so much, Lord,” I cried, but even in my mind, it felt like a false plea, like it was anything but sincere.


	His love for me, I had always known about on an intellectual level.  But in my heart, as long as I had been alive, I knew that I had rejected His Spirit ultimately.


	And I knew that it was not a mere fabrication.  


	It was a fact of life.  The entire Bible as I knew it was completely true.


	It’s just that I didn’t have any desire or interest in submitting to it, or implementing it as part of my daily lifestyle.


	So much more than what I was receiving on earth.
