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.

Vatican Nights

	He began to move more closely toward me, to the point where I could no longer perceive exactly what he needed me for.  I pointed to myself, mouthing silently to Emanuel.  Hoping that I would receive at least some sort of reasonable explanation for all of this.

	I took a few moments to gather my thoughts.  But after my initial anxieties ended, I found myself pouring my heart out to him.
