The story of Kiowa’s death has been repeated three times. Each of the stories is from a different perspective. Each story goes in depth of what the person was thinking when they saw Kiowa’s dead body. For some it was shame and for others it was a realization of the cruelty of war.

This is by willingly going to battle with our own worst fears and enemies if it means bringing justice and hope to those around us. In the novel Grendel, descendent of Cain represents a living,…
