call dragons worms. Starback hated this. Dragons are air and fire. Worms are prisoners of the earth.

Sandage, the old wizard, lived deep in the earth. His house was small and humble, but it covered a network of burrows and shafts. When Starback found his house, Sandage was deep underground, making a searching spell from the hidden secret places of the earth.

Starback circled the house for a long time, waiting for the old man to emerge. He didn’t.

Starback flew down and settled on a small mound a short distance from Sandage’s house. He spread his wings on the ground, like a sparrow taking a dust bath. Laying his head to one side on the ground, he drummed his wings on the earth. He stopped, waited, drummed again.

His nostrils filled the with the soft, damp scent of earth magic. All around him, thousands of worms crawled to the surface, out from their holes, wriggling in the fresh air. He raised up and flew just above the ground, keeping away from them.

Sandage’s door opened. The wizard looked out, and Starback knew that he thought his magic had done this, that he had charmed the worms, and that he thought he would find Sam.

Starback left him to follow the spoiled spell to Boolat.
