It was here on the island a long time ago. A couple of men and women were on their way to a forest meadow to reap. The men carried scythes on the shoulders as is common at such times. They met a bunch of cattle with people that they didn't know.

“Put your crooked tools on the other side!” they said to the men.

It was “the underground ones” that were out with their cattle, and they were afraid that the steel would by hover any of the animals so that they themselves would lose their power over them, so that the humans would be able to take them from the underground ones.

If you have rein sticks made from rowan wood, the underground ones can’t stop you when you’re out driving.

The underground ones are called “vitra” because they are dressed in white, and their cows are also white. I’ve seen them several times, so I know that.
