Suiren took two pieces of broken wood, sharpened one end of one piece, and hollowed out a depression in the middle of the other. He placed the sharpened wood in the depression and rubbed it back and forth vigorously with both hands. The strong friction soon caused the sharpened wood to smoke and then ignited a small, delicate flame.
Suiren, exceedingly excited, looked at the little flame in front of him and lifted the burning wood high, declaring: "Now that our Human Clan possesses this method of making fire, we shall no longer fear flames, and can even enjoy the taste of roasted meat. What a fortune for me, and a blessing for the Human Clan as well! Hahaha..."
"Boom!"
Before Suiren could fully recover from the joy of regaining the flame, he heard the thunderous sound of thunder roaring through the Nine Heavens!
