According to geologists, rock solidified to show the tracks taken by ancient worms that once crawled exuberantly through the soil. For us, these worms would have been scarcely larger than an ordinary earthworm. But for the fairies, especially the fairy children or the littlest of the "little people", these worms seemed monstrously large and menacing. The more timid (and perhaps, more sensible) fled screaming whenever a worm's head jutted above the mud, groaned and shook the earth as its body rose above the soil. The more athletic leaped atop these emerging worms, clutching their sides as they triumphantly rode them across the soil and inhaled the earthy fumes of the dust they kicked up - later named "fairy dust", "magic dust" and "the spice of life" by the more poetic of their kind. And so, in the ancient annals of the Fae, we see how Ireland met Dune, or how that science fiction sage grew out of lost enchanted lore.
