    The Death of Lowren and Agamine
    Life, Death

    The legend goes that the Agamine approached Lowren disguised as his brother Gilidriel, and told him that his brothers had been greedy, they didn't understand the true meaning of life. He told Lowren that he saw how great a leader he could be and that he would make him the most powerful Elf to have ever live. Lowren however wasn't interested, he asked his 'brother' the last words their father spoke to them, and Agamine was stumped. Lowren told the demon to leave, but the demon was determined to trick the last brother.
