As Danyla chanted, the searing black-and-red dragon blood of Myracis and the others dripped like hot oil onto the weirwood's surviving branches.
This scorching dragon blood, which could easily ignite any tree and which almost no living creature could withstand, actually did no harm to the weirwood.
