"Your brother arrives at your bank on a ship of death ... it is propelled here by the sea: look at how it flames, still sailing!“
“So, he wins even in defeat! Throw him into the sea!”
“No! Listen to the thought of your Ordla, your counselor. Since thus buried according to the rites, his son Beowulf must pay you the tribute of vassalage!"
"Of course! This is how we will fight with the creature in his den!"
A knight gallops fast.
Between two peaks, he leans and sees the grinning face of monstrous Grendel. . .
The messenger’s horse rears up suddenly . . .
Grendel arose in front of the animal and grabbed for the reins. . .
Dismounts his enemy, the man horrified by the apparition, and he takes the pouch of the messenger . . .
. . . and sends them to flight through the rocky trail . . .
Squatting at the stake of his fantastic camp, Grendel reads the message. . .
Rogar, son of Igelac,King of the Ring Danes,
to
Beowulf, Weder King of the Geats.
The death ship has landed on my coast.
I, Rogar, son of Igelac, have done my duty according to the rite.
Beowulf
Son of Egheow
Complete yours.
From a peak, Grendel then tosses it over the Geatish city and says: Well my mother has hatched the
plot. I will kill the archangel of the Geats!
The heralds of Beowulf call to rally the people on the square. . .
"Barons, knight and people: the fate of Eteow is completed. Where he was destroyed by betrayal he was buried ... I go to be the vassal of my father’s brother. . .”
"Do not go Beowulf: Rogar is a traitor: he's going to kill you ...”
"Well, Ermanric, if that is what will be, that will be. This is my debt of honor. Barons, saddle your horses. Heralds sound the reveille ...”
