When Zenith and Dawn finally returned, there was something off about the two of them, but the others didn't pay close attention, since the alpha didn't talk much and Dawn engrossed herself in what she was doing.
"It's really poison," Dawn said as she pulled out the Caius roots that she put inside the dead warrior's throat.
These Caius roots were the size of your forefinger and black, but it was very sensitive to toxins, not many people knew about this because Caius root itself could be poisonous if you didn't know how to handle it safely, thus people who learned about medicine often didn't use it, because it was not a safe option.
Dawn explained that to them and showed the roots that had turned dark yellow.
"The color indicates that it's a slow acting poison. He must have been exposed to the source constantly."
