Creature in the Chimenea

When Han Sen took a look inside, he was shocked. Inside the chimenea, a pair of eyes were looking up at him.

Fortunately, Han Sen had been through a lot, so he maintained his cool and did not look away. Instead, he just stared right back at the eyes.

It didn't look real. The owner of the eyes was something clad in armor, and it was dark like the chimenea itself. The being was sitting inside the chimenea with just its eyes showing, and Han Sen couldn't make out anything else. On some level, however, it looked human.

"Human? Spirit? Or humanoid creature?" Han Sen wondered to himself, as he continued staring back down at the pair of eyes in the armor.

Bao'er climbed atop Han Sen's shoulder and looked down the exhaust again. Seeing the creature clad in armor, even she thought it was a curious thing.
