Perhaps, the ones who fell the fastest were the king and his two royal guards.
Before the battle even began, they had already fallen.
Obviously, General Thorn didn't toss to goodness. The wine they drank is a special concoction that Ohema had prepared for them.
General Thorn had reported everything back to them whenever he talked with the king. He went ahead to speak about the king's mood, mental thoughts, and, well, his understanding of how things would go when he got to the Dark Planet.
All this was General Thorn helping the ladies find the perfect way to take the three strongest of the Nethran race off the board before the battle even began.
So when they found a plan, Ohema cooked the sweetest poison ever, and the rest depended on Nia's shadows and Nyxthar's control of the void.
The moment the four people drank the poison, it was game over. Thankfully, General Thorn was not disposed of as one would expect, so when he was teleported away by Jane, he was handed the antidote.
