While the women were rushing back to Valvania, Lex was dying. His Regeneration was barely keeping up with the poison. The emperor ordered the best doctors to be flown in to treat the boy. But even that didn't help.
Lex dreamed of his life back on Earth, where he lived in the orphanage. There was a time in his life when he enjoyed it there, but that all changed when two siblings joined when he was twelve.
They were siblings; the elder sister had brown curly hair and the greenest eyes, while the younger was curly blonde with big blue eyes. Upon first seeing them, Lex mistook them for dolls, but he soon discovered otherwise, especially with the older one.
The younger sister's name was Mina, and she adored Lex, but the other sister, Kadie, hated him passionately. All he did was show them around after Matron asked him to, and from that day, she made his life hell while Mina tried her best to stop it but was powerless.
