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

	“Fancy seeing you here,” the voice called to me, while approaching more closely by the minute.  “Thought I’d never find you.”

	“Liar!”  I cried, quite surprising myself by falling into such a drastic character change.  I eagerly remained, preparing to prance upon him at any given moment.


	“What happened?”  Father said in what seemed like feigned sorrow.  “I could have sworn you were in love.”
