Hrothgar was the king. He has ruled with a kind heart and he loved to celebrate with his people all of their triumph. One night he had a dream, a dream of a shining hall of celebration and it was taller than the forest called the fen that stood next to the land of the Danes. Hrothgar demanded that the hall was to be built. When the hall was finished it Hrothgar christened it Hall Heorot. He invited all of the most noble men to the hall to a feast. They ate and drank, but when night fell everyone was asleep. Something crept out of the fen, it was smelly, it was Grendel. A beast that killed anything in a bloody fashion. It crept into the hall and killed everything except Hrothgar, his wife Wealtheow, and Unferth son of Ecglaf. The news of the slaughter reached the land of the Geats. There was a hero named Beowulf. Beowulf decided to go with ten men to the land of the Danes. He came with no sword and no plan. He waited in the night for Grendel. Grendel came and killed one of Beowulf’s men. Beowulf got ahold of Grendel’s arm and started to wrestle it. His hold on Grendel burned Grendel with light. Grendel writhed and tried to get away. His arm ripped out of his socket. Grendel later died of blood
