Beowulf
Down in the darkness lived a growling, impatient, powerful monster named Grendel.Grendel, ready to kill, went to Herot and found 30 Dane warriors sleeping so he took action and killed them.Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, was sad and deserted for 12 winters after Grendel returned and killed his men.Grendel slept in Herot at night time, but never touched Hrothgar’s, God protected, throne.Healfdane felt sorrow for his dad, Hrothgar.Beowulf, Higlac’s follower, strongest of the Geats, heard about Grendel’s attack and sent out boats to help the Danes.Beowulf gathered up 14 of his strongest men to bring with him to defeat Grendel.Beowulf being the strong leader he was, was looked up to thanks to the reputation of his father, Edgetho.Beowulf and his men finally arrive at Herot and are called to see the king.Grendel came from the Swampland ready to fight and kill.
