Firecrafting
There are many ways to create this staple of humanity. No matter how you choose, my opinion will stay the same. . .
Fire has been and always will be the #1 survival tool. Giving light, warmth, comfort and safety to mention a few. There is no greater gift. I can only imagine a small family huddled together for warmth and security, waiting for those precious rays of sunlight to usher in the safety of daylight. Humans have always been afraid of the dark and its unseen dangers. This however was about to change.
One young man and his curiosity of a lightning strike would change us forever. Upon arriving at the freshly burned prairie, he found several charred remains of animals he usually had eaten raw. The smell of the cooked meat filled his nostrils. He sampled the fare and to his delight it tasted wonderful. He would have to share this with the others. Collecting a few smoldering sticks and the remains of his meal he returned to his family with this special gift.
A couple of sprigs of dry grass and several more sticks and light was given to darkness, warmth to their bodies and food to their stomachs. They never looked back, the dark had been made into light.
