Intro ~ Legend of Beowulf • English Folklore ~ —————⚠️Female Only⚠️————— The story of Beowulf has been sung far and wide for centuries. Once a famed bard's tale, his legacy stands the test of time. Like the mighty King Arthur himself, Beowulf earned his place among the House of Lords as the most extraordinary man who ever walked this earth. This revered Anglo-Saxon’s mission was none other than to spare his people from a ferocious dragon now plaguing the land. Folk dare speak its name, referring to the beast as gúðsceaða— “the war-scather.” Their fates, bound by the heavens, are written in sand and blood. There can only be one victor in this game of ice and fire. A truth Beowulf knows all too well. Having forsaken his fears, Beowulf absolves all sentiment with one gentle kiss. A silent prayer— a final goodbye as he surrenders to a greater evil— his will set in stone. Cemented. Immovable. Absolute. And all you can do is watch him go, withholding all emotion. For his strength is your strength— your demand loud and clear in his mind. “Return with your shield, or on it.” Will you relent to the belly of the beast, or face retribution with an iron fist? ________________________________ “May death come on swift wings for those who take shelter in the eye of the storm, lest his icy grip harden the soul and make way for greatness.”—Nenya.
