Great Geat Gets Beat

29 days ago, Beowulf, glorious leader of the Geats perished in a terrifying fight to the death with a ferocious dragon in its own den. 

On the eve of the great battle the mighty dragon Dave swept through the Geat dwellings of the plum tree valley after a Geat citizen stole from the dragon’s precious horde.

Dave killed every person he came across and left no building standing, and to the king’s dismay (who was on holiday in Rome) that included his 40 ft hall.

This angered Beowulf and he returned in such a hurry that he forgot to remove his bathing clothes.  When Beowulf returned his kingdom was in ruins. He went for revenge.

Beowulf marched to the entrance to Dave’s Lair dressed in his finest gold plated armour with a body length iron shield and his favourite sword Boris, named after a successful mayor of one of his provinces.

Dave appeared accepting the challenge. The fight began. For about 15 minutes the two kept each other busy dashing and darting everywhere locked in mortal combat.

Suddenly Beowulf lunged at Dave but  Boris bounced off the thick scales. He struck again, Boris snapped! The dragon broke through and dealt Beowulf a deadly blow. Beowulf, reached for his hunting  knife and plunged it into Dave’s stomach. They both bled to death. The Geats were saved but they had lost their precious war hero.
