The<br />
leaning tower of demons wobbled as Kali struggled to reach the vent<br />
above, her fingertips scrabbling on the edge of the cool steel<br />
passageway. Aeblis winced as Kali's foot squashed down on her head,<br />
the smaller demon being nonetheless quite heavy. Claw-like nails dug<br />
into the top of her head. &quot;Hey, be careful!&quot; Aeblis<br />
protested.<br />
&quot;Shhh,<br />
she'll hear us,&quot; Kali hissed, glancing down at her partner in<br />
crime. Her long, pale hair fell over her eyes, forcing her to brush<br />
it away.
