Distraction

   This is now a war that will never stop. I just keep destroying Hrothgar's kingdom and troops. But I could honestly kill all my enemies in one night alone. It would be so simple and easy for me to take them about. They probably wouldn't even notice, because of how quickly I could do this small task. However, I then remember the dragon told me that "my enemies define themselves on me," so I can't just kill them all(91). If I killed them all then I would lose my purpose in life. I would basically have nothing to do like ever. Or at least I don't think I would personally. Wow, all this thinking has got me distracted, I am not enjoying it.
   Thinking is not the only think that has me distracted, Wealtheow, who is a woman that has distracted me most recently. she is the brother of Hygmod, a new king that has now created a truce with Hrothgar. Let me give you the whole story of how this beautiful creature fell into my life. So, one night I simply spying around the mead hall per usual. However, this time the men were no were in sight, I was very confused. But I found foot prints and heard people talking, so I followed and found the men that encounter me on the daily. But there was other people there, I had never seen them before but they were trying to talk Hrothgar into a truce. But for some reason the man just wouldn't do it. He thought it was a lie and that they would steal and cause havoc once in the mead hall. Which I really can't blame him for, they are so stupid and helpless, anyone could ruin them with a small amount of force. But then he brings out the most gracious treasure ever to win Hrothgar over, his beautiful sister. I don't know what drew me to her so much "but she was [just] beautiful"(100).  But I didn't stay any longer, I had to leave. And each day when I went to attack the mead hall I couldn't do it, not with Wealtheow there.
   Nevertheless, I would still go and spy on the mead hall and see what was happening. The shaper came back and sung songs for everyone in the hall. While listening to the shaper I would see the beautiful girl and just admire her from a far. But even when I wasn't looking at her I could see her, I could feel her, she consumed every sense and though within my mind. It was driving me insane, it had to stop, I can't handle it any longer. The only way I could get her to leave was by killing her in the most horrific way. So, I set on my journey and swiped her up from the meadhall. I was just about to rip her to shreds and then I saw her bare body. She was just the same as every human, yes she may be beautiful but she is just like all the others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk
