Ari's Unferth :An Unpleasant Look through Unferth's Eyes

That Beowulf.. He thinks he is the best! I can take down an ogre any day;In fact, I could
take one down faster than he could! Now he offers himself
up again to save our people, I would be a much better
hero than him, and a better looking one too! Hey.. If I go maybe I could see the monster destroy that Pretender... And then I could jump into the fray and destroy the monster
myself! It would be like killing two birds with one stone! Hah!
Ugh! When are going to leave already?? Is he done buttering up my dad yet?! Hurry up!
A few hours later... Why should he get to ride in the front? Wait, why did every body stop?? What is that? It's...IT'S Aeschere's HEAD! Whoa.... Ok, just pretend that you didn't notice and remember Beowulf is going to die. There's the lake. Hmm.... I hope my dad doesn't take to hard when Beowulf doesn't come back. Oh Well! I should give Beowulf my sword... It is the least I can do before he dies... Luckily he is so dim-witted that he can't tell a sharp sword from a blunt one! Hah! Take that Pretender! Yes! Yes! Go on, jump to your watery doom! WAIT! What if he does survive?? Nah... That couldn't happen! If the monster doesn't get him then he'll drown,like the slimy bilge rat he is!
Ha! So many hours have past, he couldn't be alive! I win! No more of that Pretender to steal the glory!!!
YES! Wait! What? What's with all the commotion? Beowulf has returned? NO!!!! The royal brat survived?
It can't be.... He has Grendel's head and a wonderful sword with him! I wish I had that sword!!!! Wait... Why is he coming over here? Oh no... He going to punish me for giving him a blunt sword! Here comes the anger....!
WHY? Is he giving it to me with a smile? He must have done something to it! I checked all over, but there was nothing damaged... Maybe he knew and spared me the anger and embarrassment....
OR MAYBE HE IS WAITING FOR HIS REVENGE? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Very good Ari, you gave us a little comic relief amidst all the goriness. It's pretty much a "stream of consciousness" perspective too, like we're seeing what he's thinking inside his head. Well done!
