Once upon a time, in a far away land, a child named Grendel was conceived.
He was a misunderstood child. He was born abnormally large. As a result, his father wanted to get rid of his “demonic” child. He had to find a way to get rid of Grendel without Grendel’s mother finding out. He decided to throw the baby off a cliff in the middle of the night while Grendel’s Dam (mom) was asleep. He took the baby to the edge of the cliff, and just as he was about to abort the baby, he heard a harrowing cry. He dropped the baby on the edge of the cliff and departed before he was seen. She had been shamed and shunned by the community nearby for cheating on her husband while he was at war. Instead of killing her, the Geats decided to take pity and punish …show more content…
Where is your weapon?" Wandered Grendel perplexed. "My name is Beowulf. I am unarmed. I come in peace." replied Beowulf. Grendel came out of the shadows wielding an axe the size of a small tree, still suspicious and untrusting. "Why have you come here Beo-wulf?" "The Geats banished me from their kingdom. I am a mere simpleton wondering for shelter. If you help me, I will share some of my delicious mead" "what is mead?" Asked Grendel surprised that Beowulf didn 't run away from the terror brought by his mere presence. "Mead, my friend, is the most exquisite beverage in the world. You have not enjoyed life until you have tasted the sweet, bubbly liquor. Here have some." Intrigued, Grendel drank. The mead was so exquisite. The beverage relaxed all his sore muscles and left a warm, bubbly feeling in his stomach. Beowulf pretended to drink, waiting for his opportunity to strike. Grendel led Beowulf to a camp he had set up nearby. The two chatted and drank by the fire. "How do you do it Grendel?" "Do what?" "How do you wield such a hefty axe? I wonder if I am strong enough to lift such a hefty object.." "I don 't know my friend, you can try if you wish." Beowulf hobbled to the axe, tripping on lumber, making a show of trying to lift the axe. "Are are you sure your axe isn 't Thors hammer?" Beowulf joked. Grendel fell backwards and rolled on the ground laughing hysterically. In an instant Beowulf picked up the axe and swung down straight at Grendels chest. Grendel moved to try to dodge the attack, but his reflexes were too slow. The axe went straight through Grendel 's arm. Before Beowulf could finish him off Grendel clumsily ran away to his mothers concealed cabin. "My Grendel! What happened to you! Who did this?" She sobbed. "Beo-wulf" whispered
