Chapter 7: Hrunting:

Beowulf's POV:

Hrothgar told us all he knew about Grendel's Mother, Elvina.

"We waited for Grendel to come to us," I said, "but with his mother, we are going to track her down!"

. . .

We were getting ready to leave.

"Beowulf," says Unferð, "I was jealous of your success, but I now see you are the one to save us! Take my sword!" He then hands me his sword.

"Thank you," I said.

. . .

We then found the lake where Elvina's lair is.

"Down there," asks Breka.

"Yep," I said. I then jumped in.

. . .

As I was swimming, I was attacked by these lake monsters. I fought through them.

. . .

I made it to the bottom. I found a cavern. "So, you're the one who killed my son!" She then grabbed me and pulled me into her cavern...
