  Summary

  "Following the murder of her little sister, Nessa seeks out help from an old friend. Meanwhile, Grimalkin moves to foil a sinister plot, hatched by the wicked Goddess Circe."

  Grimalkin and Slither met once in the books. Then they're referred to as friends / allies from every book after.

  But... How?

  This is my head canon of how they became friends (and more!). In a story that has Nessa, her husband, her dead sister (RIP), Slither, Grimalkin, Circe, Krampus, and all of those other wacky Kobalos shenanigans.

  I took SOME liberties with the lore... okay, a LOT. But I think it helps the story, and it's not too glaring. Just some stuff like Slither's backstory, Kobalos traditions, and some random terms I can't remember. Also did Grimalkin ever have a horse?
