I am a little obsessed with the whole pope-picking process. I am not religious and have never been Catholic... but it all just seems so magical. I feel like by changing a coupe words and none of the costumes I could be reading and watching some epic high fantasy. In that spirit and all in fun:
This Just In,
Breaking News!
The chimney over the Pristine Chapel is releasing a white
smoke into the starry Mediterranean Sky, indicating to the world that a new
head wizard has been chosen. The Chapel
is known for its expansive depiction of the Spell of Creation, painted on the
Chapel’s ceiling centuries ago by painter and summoner Michelangelo. Usually it is a gathering place for pilgrims
to make offerings and receive enchantments.
For the last 48 hours it has been the world’s most powerful and mysterious
polling station. Over the last several
weeks, wizards of the order of Cardinalidae have been arriving at The Veneficus
City to elect to a Magus Summum to lead them after the resignation of Magus
Summum Dumbledorus XII.
As many as 10,000,000 wizards, magicians, and powerless
humans have descended upon the spellbinding Veneficus City and the ancient
dwarven city of Rome in which it is nested.
Each of these pilgrims comes praying to witness both history and the
future with one wave of a wand and the chanting of a few choice orsi opus or
words of power.
Soon, the Vox du Cardinalidae, Veneficus Spokeperson
Cardinalidae Saltator of France, will step to the Pristine balcony overlooking
the throngs gathered in the Veneficus square, cast a voice amplification spell,
and announce to the world who the order has chosen to guide their order and
lead humanity’s defense against Magus Malficus.
The question on everyone’s mind is whom will they
choose. Will it be Cardinalidae
Periporphyris, the confidant of Summum Dumbledorus? Maybe they will look outside of Europa and
choose someone from the United Norse Territories of Leaf. Another popular option is Cardinalidae
passerine of Southern Africa. This would
be seen as a move towards reform for the wizarding world. However, the favorite appears to be
Cardinalidae Rhodothraupis of Tropicalia.
He defends one of the few parts of the world where a strong faith in
magic and old ways is not just present but growing. Remember, that the Magus Summum could be
anyone who believes in magic, however the election of someone outside of the
Cadinalidae is exceedingly unlikely.
It is always said that real magic takes time, but it appears
the time is coming in mere minutes.
