The narrative follows the journey of an iron star through time, revealing the lives of young characters such as Umpl and Sptz, who experience life during the prehistoric and other eras, encountering challenges as they navigate a world filled with danger and discovery. At the start of the story, Umpl and Sptz, siblings living in a cave during the days when the world lacks civilization, are introduced. They are faced with the threat of a cave bear and the absence of fire, leading them to discover a fallen star that grants them the ability to create fire. This moment marks the beginning of their adventures, as the star not only serves as a literal catalyst for survival but also symbolically initiates their exploration of knowledge and societal progress. As they grow, they venture beyond their immediate needs, learning skills that lead them towards the development of tools and ultimately their place within the greater weave of history.
