As i slept in my cave i awoke to a man stealing my golden goblet,  i swiftly flew out of my cave to get the cup back  Beowulf challenged me to a fight. i flew out of my cave to fight him. as i flew out he attempted to stab me with his sword but failed in doing so. I saw Beowulf's men scrambling, running away from me, except one man..that man was Wiglaf. I flew and passed under a bridge, Beowulf jumped onto my back and tried stabbing me on my head. the sword broke in the attempt, i felt him sliding off of my back and i turned to try to push him off, but i bit his neck instead, he fell off. He fell off my back and Wiglaf rushed to his aid, i waited for the fire to come out of my chest and Wiglaf jumped on his horse and ran up the tower, i shot fire into the windows and i thought i had gotten him for sure. I then turned back to Beowulf to blow fire at him and as the fire was about to come out Wiglaf emerged from the top of the tower. He jumped off his horse and stabbed my chest. He stabbed a hole in my chest i shot fire and it burned Wiglaf's hand through the hole he made. Beowulf made his way to the top of the tower i saw in the corner of my eye. i tried to fly away but he jumped and took out a knife from his belt and stuck it into my chest and stabbed my heart. Everything started turning black and i felt myself getting weaker. i couldn't keep myself in the air anymore. I fell to the ground.

He sends Wiglaf to inspect the dragon’s treasure and bring him a portion of it, saying that death will be easier if he sees the hoard that he has liberated. Wiglaf looks to the barrow and quickly returns to Beowulf with an armload of treasure.The old king, dying, thanks God for the treasure that he has won for his people.

Beowulf Character

Beowulf
Day 1
Today i journey to slay the dragon that has been destroying villages across my land, it's time i put an end to this. I take a handful of my most trusted men alongside with me to vanquish the beast. Off i go to the dragon's lair.
Day 2
I bid farewell to my men a while ago in order to confront the dragon, but i i know that they'll help once the beast reveals itself. I shout a challenge to the dragon and it bursts out of it's lair. It is even more fearsome than i imagined. My men run in terror from the sight of the beasts, what cowards to cower in the sight of death itself. Wiglaf is the the only one who stays to help, i rush to the dragon with my mighty sword Naegling. I strike at the dragon but my sword easily breaks on the beast's scales.The dragon bites me on the neck, Wiglaf rushes and stabs the monster in the stomach. I stab the beast in the neck and his fire kills him. As we fall the bite on my neck starts to burn, i suspect it to be dragon venom. If it is dragon venom then i don't have much time to live. I tell Wiglaf to bring me a portion of the dragon's treasure so i can die with the pleasure of knowing i liberated a quantity of treasure. Wiglaf brings me a giant load of treasure, he tells me there is more and it makes me happy. I thank Odin for this last pleasure and instruct Wiglaf to take care of my kingdom. I can barely mange to move now. My sight is darkening. Moving is very hard to do but i manage to give Wiglaf my collar, he is king now. Darkness surrounds me, it's my time now.
