Planting the weirwood this time gave Danyla some new insight and understanding into the supernatural powers of this world.
Perhaps magical creatures such as weirwoods and Great Dragons could draw in, gather, and absorb free-floating magical energy.
And under certain conditions, people who could form close bonds with them could draw on some of the magical energy they had accumulated.
The way Valyrian dragonriders commanded their Great Dragons to breathe dragonfire might make this more readily apparent. But wasn't the First Men's ability to see the past and predict the future through weirwoods essentially similar to House Targaryen's dragon dreams and the gifts of dreamwalkers?
According to House Targaryen's records, every dreamwalker had successfully ridden a dragon. Perhaps their bloodline's unique traits and their Great Dragons' magical energy were the key factors that gave them this ability.
Whether that was truly the case was something Danyla would have to explore gradually. For now, she could clearly feel the weirwood before her rapidly drawing in and gathering the free-floating magical energy around it.
It even seemed to make the blood in Danyla's body more active. The young dragon Myracis felt the same.
Around this weirwood, which stood barely a foot tall, Myracis felt that she absorbed magical energy just as efficiently as she did in the Gemstone Cavern.
