Ethan was awakened by the sound of hammering. As soon as he opened his eyes, he inhaled a deep breath of smog, carrying a strong acrid and sour smell. Rubbing his eyes, he saw a humanoid creature with two heads staring at him in puzzlement.
The creature was bare-chested, its rough dark green skin dotted with grain-like lumps. It was holding an iron hammer, continuously striking an object resembling an anvil, causing sparks to fly with each hit.
"I didn't see you get on the train."
Spoke the left head in a deep voice, while the right head focused on working, not lifting its eyes to look at Ethan.
Ethan looked around and realized this was a train platform.
An old steam engine churned out a red-black unidentified gas from its chimney.
Ethan stood out among the surrounding passengers. Though most appeared humanoid, their skins were predominantly red or purple, which the book "100 Dark Creatures You Should Know" described as demon skin.
