Our celebration tonight was very swell, until an unexpected visitor decided to crash our "party". King Hrothgar decided that a celebration was in order for me for killing Grendel, the horrible monster attacking their country. So after the battle, all the surrounding people and I went to Heorot Hall to celebrate. Everything was going right as planned, then something came that no one expected.
Before we all knew it, there was wood, smoke and debris everywhere. Grendel's mother had come for revenge for her son's death, so decided to kill my most trusted warrior. I assumed that she fled right after because she knew that she had made her point. This actually made me want to get revenge on her.
I went with Hrothgar and my men to Grendel's mother's lair in search of her. I came to the conclusion that the only way I could kill her is if I jumped into her swampy lair in a battle to the deaths. As soon as I jumped into the swamp, the battle began. At first, Grendel's mother was winning, but after I realized my sword, Hrunting, could not kill her, I was able to grab the sword specially made to kill her and decapitated her.
Our celebration was able to continue, but this time on the death of two horrid monsters. I was given many gifts that I am most grateful for. I am only hoping my trouble with these monsters will soon be over.
