Once again Heorot is in harmony and another creature lurks to interrupt the peacefulness. The creature is Grendel’s mother and she runs off with my best advisor, Aeschere, killing him. Fortunately, Beowulf, a courageous man, takes the task to end Grendel’s mother’s life in their swampy lair. When Beowulf came back he possessed Grendel’s head and a story defeating his mother. He explained to me that slaying Grendel’s mother was not an easy task as then Grendel. She was furious about the death of her son, so she slashes Beowulf’s chest with a broad knife. Beowulf managed to fight, even though he was badly injured. He noticed a sword hilt hanging on the wall and grabs the sword. Beowulf strikes at the monster’s head with all his might. Beowulf’s attempt at beheading the monster was unsuccessful, but he managed to severely hurt her neckbone, which leaves amounts of blood dripping from his sword. Grendel’s mother collapses to the ground. The battle is over, but Beowulf sees Grendel’s dead body nearby. He approaches it and cuts off the head. He returns to Heorot with the head for us to see. A feast is thrown in honor of Beowulf”s achievement and I hope to dear god, Grendel does not have a father.
