Mother's revenge

After I dealt with Grendel, he went home to his mother and bled to death. Grendel's mother, enraged by the death of his son, killed Hrothgar's best friend. The death of Hrothgar's friend caused him to go into depression and he needed Grendel's mother dead. He called on me once again to deal with her. This was much more dangerous than my battle with her son. I knew I had to go to her underwater lair, so I prepared myself with armor and weapons. On the way down through the underwater hell castle, I had to remind myself over and over to stay alert and be ready for anything. It was getting hotter every minute for hours. Swimming in this near-boiling water is harder than I ever imagined. Grendel's mother spotted me first and swam toward me. She grabbed me and sat on me with her enormous body. While immobilized, many creatures and monsters tried to end my life, but i was protected by my helmet and chain-mail. Grendel's mother also tried to stab me with a very rusty and bloody stained dagger. Her attempts were not enough to harm me greatly. In frustration her grabs me and take me to her battle room. This was a terrible decision because I was no longer fighting under extreme temperatures. As I strike her with my blade I notice that it isn't damaging her at all, but as soon as I begin to lose I see this large two-handed sword on the wall that was hand made by giants. I retrieved the sword and get close enough I split open her thoat and watch her die.

The Beginning



Growing up I always was the strongest and bravest. Many challenges and test are mere obstacles in my way. My father was a famous warrior and friends with Hrothgar the King of Herot. But I would hear these stories about this great evil named Grendel; who killed most of the greatest warriors with ease. I need to kill the fiend and achieve the fame to come along with that glorious victory. I need to gather fourteen of the strongest warriors and travel to Herot. When we finally arrived I had to set a watchguard in his place. I am Beowulf, I don't speak much but I had to let him receive my word-hoard. He let us go visit Hrothgar and explain why I am at his kingdom. He told us that Grendel visited the mead hall every night and killed anyone that was in the area. So I planned to "sleep" in the mead hall with no weapons until he arrives and when he did he grabbed one of my solders and ripped him like a sheet of paper. He goes to grab me but i grab his arm instead. With my strength i rip his arm off and he runs away to his home only waiting to die.
