Slave Witch April -aconite- Updated

Aconitum napellus , known as monkshood, wolfsbane, or the "queen of poisons," is the single most important symbol in this narrative. Unlike hemlock or nightshade, aconite kills quickly and specifically. It attacks the cardiorespiratory system, inducing numbness, suffocation, and paralysis. In folklore, it was said to have sprung from the saliva of Cerberus, the three-headed hound of Hades.
