I didn't get a chance to finish last week's reading, so I figured I'd do it now.
This time I want to focus on The Arrival of the Dragon from Beowulf, written by Strafford Riggs.
This part of the story comes after a gap in Beowulf's timeline, where we don't know much of what happens to him. He lives safely in Geatsland and his uncle, Hygelac, welcomed him in the court. However, Hygelac soon died in battle and his son became king. His son did not live long, and then Beowulf became king.
Geatsland was prosperous in this time, and Beowulf aged well. He was famous among his people and feared by his rivals.
One night, a dirty visitor entered the dining hall. They almost threw him out on appearance alone, but one man thought he should stay. He took the visitor to Beowulf.

The visitor explained that he was an escaped slave who came across a dragon, and the dragon was surrounded by gold and jewels. When Beowulf angrily questioned him, the slave showed a golden jeweled cup he had stolen as proof. "'Lord,' he replied simply, "I do not lie.'"
