swords....
(abar) this place gives me the creeps.....

other man alive.....(hrothgar) this way....
they approach a cliff and look down and see nothing but marsh.... down
at least 200 yards down....
(sulten) what is that...
they look down the cliff and see creatures that have 2 huge arms and
claws, a beak and hair all around they have a tail with 2 muscular
hairy legs.....
(hrothgar) they are nicors and sea-drakes lets go down this path so we
do not disturb them.....
one of the raiders horse knocks a rock off the cliff and it falls and
knocks one in the head...
all the other creatures look up and see them.... they all growl and
begin to crawl up the side of the cliff.....
(sulten) they have spotted us.....
(abar) we won't make it to the bottom....
(delas) what do we do....
(ronan) prepare for battle...
all of the men get off their horses, they are pulling out all of their
weapons..... axes, swords, knife, staffs, and they pull out their bows
and arrows....
shot of about 30 of the creatures climbing the wall......
all of the men stand in a line one next to another.....
(hrothgar walks in front of them) do not aim for their legs to show
mercy for they will give you none aim for their heads.....

head and they fall to the ground other keep running 3 of the men remain
shooting arrows as fast as they can.....
(hrothgar) attack.....
they all run at the creatures weapons in hand.....

then staps him in the stomach, one runs behind him and he turns around
at the right moment when the creature jumps at him... he spins and
chops the creatures head off.....

he stabs one of the creatures dead and it falls on him and the raider
falls off the cliff with it down to the rocks and is dead.... one of
the raiders shooting the bows reaches for another arrow and see's none
a creature runs at him and slashes his throat with his claws......

squirting out of them, one dives at delas and he jumps up and does a

motion and hits the creature and makes it fly back....
he is shooting the arrows as fast as possible.....

arrows and see's another creature about to jump at beowulf....
ronan yells at sulten....
(ronan)Sulten!!!! stop him....
sulten looks at beowulf and then the creature....
he grips his axe and throws it as hard as he can and beowulf jumps off
the cliff... the creature jumps right behind him about to pounce him
and then the axe hits him in the side of the neck making him flip away
from him and flip and twist all the way to the rocks......
Beowulf is diving down, down, he grabs 2 knives and throws it at the
creatures on the wall and throws it at them and hits them making them
fly off the cliff onto the rocks....

he is swimming through marsh grass and swimming deeper......
meanwhile outside.....
the last of the creatures... are being killed.....

sulten throws a sword in the air and the blade sticks inside of it's
head......sulten walks up to the creature and pulls the sword.... he
looks around to see dozens of creatures slain and bloody laying on the
ground with flies surronding them.....
Hrothgar walks up to ronan....
(hrothgar) where is beowulf......
ronan points over the cliff into the marsh.....
Meanwhile under the marsh.....
beowulf can hardly see anything he is pushing grass out from behind
him..... he see's a dark figure swis across him .... he turns in reflex
to look but see's nothing ... he continues to swim down and see's the
swis across him again , he looks to no suprise... a huge claw grabs him
by his side and he looks to see grendals mother..... he is suprised at
her size , she is almost twice as big as grendal.... she snaps at him
but he blocks her with his sword.....
he drags him to the bottom of her marsh and entered a cave.... she
threw him out of the water into a huge cave , with sand and rocks,
there are fires burning all around.....
he is tossed out of the water and thrown into the sand.....
grendals mother walks on 2 feet out of the water , with fire burning in
her eye's (she is furious)
beowulf runs at her with his sword and to no avail the sword does not
slice her skin.....
she grabs the sword which beowulf is still holding and throws the sword
and beowulf through the air, beowulf goes and tries to punch her but
she blocks it and smacks him across the face, blood spits out of his
mouth, she claws him across the chest ripping open his mail-coat , he
rips it off , he is cut with muscles buldging, he goes to run at her
and she picks him up over her head and throws him , he swings around
like a helicopter in the air until he lands on his stomach...
cut to ....
Outside ronan is grabbing one of his raiders and holding his head up
and praying......
(abar) so much death....
(hrothgar) now you know how I have felt all the years
ronan walks up to sulten....
(ronan) I am sorry....
(sulten) for what... they are not your men....

hrothgar, ronan , abar and delas ride down the mountain....
Meanwhile in the cave.....
beowulf is thrown to the ground again....
grendal's mother goes to stomp on beowulf, he rolls out of the way and
kicks her on the side of the knee she falls to one knee, he gets up and
jumps off her one knee and knee's her in the face with the other knee,

carries their sword and plants it on top of the grave into the ground
.....
Inside the cave....
beowulf is trying to catch his breathe....

without a noise....
beowulf is looking down and does not here her....
she stands up tall behind him.... she reaches her arm around.. .a drip
of water lands on beowulfs shoulder .. he turns and gets hit in the
chest and flies back .... beowulf flies across the flames and lands
into a pool of BONES... he freaks out to see human bones everywhere...
he is trying to crawl over... them and grendals mother is approaching
him.... he see's a sword under the bone's and pulls it out
the sword is huge only few men can wield it, he looks at it and then
looks at grendals mother across the flames, he slashes her across the
stomach with the sword, she looks in fear and wonder at the slash in
her stomach....he looks to see blood on the blade.... then he looks at
grendals mother....
He walks through the flames with no fear approaching grendals
mother..... the sword is massive..
he slashes at her and misses , she slashes his back with her claws....
he is leaning down ... he grips the sword with both hands and swings
back and ....
SLASHES GRENDAL'S MOTHER'S HEAD OFF...
her head bounces on the sand and her body falls next to it.... beowulf
looks at her and kicks her head away he walks into the water slowly
with the sword....
in the water he see's grendal dead in the bottom of the marsh.... he
swims down and walks next to grendal and looks at him angerly and
slashes grendals head off.....
the blood from grendals head floated above the water.....
the blade from the huge mystic sword was turned to dust at the
blood.....
the only thing remaining of the sword was the huge gold hilt....
when the blood reached the surface outside....
delas spotted it....
