The Death Of Beowulf
Beowulf is buried in Geatland on a cliff overlooking the sea, where sailors are able to see his tumulus. The dragon's treasure is buried with him, in accordance with Beowulf's wishes, rather than distributed to his people, and there is a curse associated with the hoard to ensure that Beowulf's wish is kept. As the boat burns Grendel's mother appears from the ocean. As the ship sinks she takes Beowul's body with her to the waterie depths of the ocean.
The Final Battle
One day, fifty years after Beowulf's battle with Grendel's mother, a slave steals a golden cup from the lair of an unnamed dragon at Earnaness. When the dragon sees that the cup has been stolen, it leaves its cave in a rage, burning everything in sight. Beowulf and his warriors come to fight the dragon, but Beowulf tells his men that he will fight the dragon alone and that they should wait on the barrow. Beowulf descends to do battle with the dragon but finds himself outmatched. His men, upon seeing this display and fearing for their lives, creep back into the woods. One of his men, however, Wiglaf, who finds great distress in seeing Beowulf's plight, comes to Beowulf's aid. The two slay the dragon, but Beowulf is mortally wounded.
The Truth
Beowulf tells them what happened, he was unable to kill the mother. He made the same mistake as the prevous king did. So for that the kindom would pay. Then a dragon appeared from the lair and started to attack the kingdom. Beowulf's fears came true she had bared his monster offspring. Why didn't i just kill her when i had the chance.
The Mistake
On a foggy day their was a horrible scream and there were two people torn to shreds on front of Grendel's mother's lair. As Beowulfs knights go investigate it they come out of the cave screaming with blood all over them. Their worst fears came true Grendel's mother was still alive. So they confronted the king about it.
Beowulf The King
Years pass after that day and he as aged and is now grey. His rule as king has been very great and he as defeated many foes. But ever since that day he has felt guilty for what he did. The king told him to not make the mistake he did and just slay Grendel's mother and be done with. But he couldn't he instead embraced her.
Grendel's Mother
I will now go and kill Grendel's mother. She will pay for what she has done. As he enters her lair she is glad to meet him. As he strikes her with his sword, it liqueifies into water. Than she comes in closer and wraps her arms around him. She whispers something into his ear. He does the worst thing he can do he lays with her.
Death Of A King
As the king steps towards the window, You will make me proud. You promise me you won't make the mistake that i made once. I wont my lord. Good, good then the king jumps from the window and falls in the ocean. My lord no, the kings right hand man announced the king is dead. But he has left the thrown to Beowulf. As he places the crown on his head Beowulf is shocked with what he just witnessed.
