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

	Periodically, Elouise would glance back at me, just to ensure that I was still there.  And when I made eye contact with her, I could have sworn that I felt a deep connection – one that, perhaps, had been put together by the aura of my silver cord.


	After what seemed like a very brief stretch of time, we at last arrived to our final destination: none other than the Vatican.  A great deal of time had indeed lapsed, so I knew – but Elouise’s magic, passed on to me, had collectively made time both cease, and become infinite.


	“Wow,” I breathed, “how did you find this place?”


	Cocking her head to the side from where she had landed on a tree branch, Elouise said, “I would have told you it was magic, but I thought you had long stopped believing.”


	Although I responded with silence, I still deeply considered Elouise’s words.  Perhaps, I thought, I really have lost that spark of magic I once believed in so dearly.
