Over a two hundred year ago, there was a great knight by the name of Sir Victor Crimson who was a great protector of the land and loyal to his lord. He fought valiantly in the battle against the warrior of the north and the invader from the south that try to take the king’s throne. As an award for his heroism in those battles he was given a sword with a jewel in the hilt which latter would be his downfall to darkness.
One day a mighty dragon had arrived in the kingdom from the north. With the crises on his hands, the king had sent his knights to fight the creature, but they when to slay the beast but they came back a failure. Sir Crimson, being the cunning man that he realizes that the dragon had a magic origin, so it can be only can be defeated by magic. There was a witch that lived in the south forest that practice Chaos magic. Crimson when to see the witch and ask the witch for a way to defeat the dragon.
“What can I help with you, Sir Knight?” the witch asked with a sneer on her face when the knight had entered her home.
“The creature that has been plaguing the land for the past week is immune to all that we had thrown at it. The beast’s thick hide cannot be pierced by normal metal. So it is logical that the beast is the magic origin, so the only item with magic can defeat it. With you being the only magic user for mile, that is why I have come to you, witch” the knight replied
“Ah, the beast has been wrecking the land as of late. To defeat the dragon, I will need your sword, Sir?”
“Why should I give you my sword, witch?” the Sir Crimson demanded.
“To defeat the fire beast you need a sword that will pierce the scaly hide. To be able to do that I will enchant your mighty sword with chaos magic, so you can do that, Sir Knight....

Once down the stairs I saw my best friend in all of Rozadon, Cody ‘Codex’ Harrison, standing by the door with his mess short brown hair and his blue eyes and my big brother Percy dressed in his normal outfit of a red shirt and jeans. Codex was dressed in a simply with a navy blue shirt and a black pair of pants with his backpack sling over his shoulder. The reason he got the nickname Codex is that he can creak any code put in front of him.
Then there the best big brother in the world who sitting on the couch near the door. My big brother is fifteen year old and is an inventor. He makes a cool toys or gadgets as he calls them.
“Let go, Jay. We are going to be late.” Codex said with a big goofy smile on his face. I could not help but smile as well. With both of smiling like goofs we ran out the door to our new careers as we wave goodbye to my big brother.
"Really?" the other sneered, "I got mine from the best blacksmith in London! It's made out of the toughest wood and a four-sided spike on the arrow head developed to penetrate plate armor."
notices that there is a huge sword on the wall of the battle hall where he was dragged to.
The story tells about adventures of Sir Gawain, who takes the Green Knight's challenge. One year after cutting Green Knight's head off, which did not kill him, Gawain has to travel to find the Green Knight and take his blow in return. He finds a strange castle, and while he awaits there for the final day, his knight's ethical code is put to a test by the host and his wife.
The lord planned to go hunting and invited Sir Gawain to eschange what he recieved in the castle for what the Lord recieved in the woods. For the first two days, the Lord gave Sir gawain venision, bear and a goose. And for every day, Sir Gawain recieved kisses from the Lady, so in return he must kiss the Lord. But on the third day, Sir Gawainj recieved three kisses and a green silk gridle. This gridle was magical according to the Lady. She said ""My knight, you must face many foes. This is a magic girdle; it has the power to protect whoever wears it against any weapon." Sir Gawains desire to live was overpowering so he accepted the gift. He failed to give the Lord this gift, but instead he gave him three kisses. Days passed and eventually Sir Gawain had to face the Green Knight. As scared as Sir Gawain was, he was determined to commit to his word so he allowed the Green Knight to swing his axe with the intent to decapitate him. Oddly enough, the Knight swung his axe three times and only cut Sir Gawains neck slightly.
On the long, arduous journey, the brave knight battles countless foes to the point where "to tell but the tenth part would tax [the author's] wits" (719). All manner of fearsome foes are described, from serpents and wolves to wild men and giants. However, he has "borne himself bravely, and been on God's side" (724), and therefore makes it through all these trials intact.

Before going into battle, he tells his men about the royal house and his exploits in its service. Beowulf states, “I am old now,/ But I will Fight again, seek fame still,/ If the dragon hiding in his tower dares/ To face me” (lines 625-628). Beowulf is giving his followers a final goodbye as he goes into battle. He is also letting he’s followers know he is an old man and it will not be easy. Beowulf then enters a hidden entrance, too hot for anyone to stand, a streaming current of fire and smoke has blocked the passage. The beast then awakes knowing that a man has come. In the story it states, “Beowulf/ Swung his shield into place, held it / In front of him, facing the entrance”(lines 670-672). Beowulf and his ancient sword are waiting, ready for battle. The monster then comes quickly towards him, shooting out fire, rapping around Beowulf’s body as he suffers. An author, Laurence Mazzeno, writes,” In his later years, after becoming king in his homeland, Beowulf loses his life in a fight with a dragon that is guarding a hoard of treasure and terrorizing the Geats.”

"....I feel no shame, with shield and sword and armor, against this monster: when he comes to me I mean to stand, not to run from his shooting flames, stand till fate decides which one of us wins. My heart is firm, my hands calm: I need no hot words. Wait for me close by, my friends. We shall see, soon, who will survive this bloody battle, stand when the fighting is done. No one else could do what I mean to, here, no man but me could hope to defeat this monster. No one could try..."
“It is I, Lady Amber of Cuzzart,” Amber replied, “Good sir knight, my companions and I would like to enter your master’s castle and spend a day at the festivities within.”
The Black Prince was an exceptional knight who also had a gift for commanding armies. His skills as a commander became legendary throughout Europe. His most exceptional achievement, which was probably the main reason for his name becoming a legend, was his remarkable defeat of the French forces at Poitiers in 1356 during the Hundred Years War. This defeat also lead to the capture of the French King John the II.
Fiona: For once in my life, I want my father to be proud of me and have faith in me. For this, I have decided to become a knight.
I have heard, too, that the monster's scorn of men is so great that he needs no weapons and fears none. Now will I. My lord Higlac might think less of me if I let my sword go where my feet were afraid to, if I hid behind some broad linden shield: my hands alone shall fight for me, struggle for life against the monster (Beowulf page #).

“…he (a guard) playfully picked up a stone and threw it at me. That, to me, seemed the way to attract the attention of a beast, to call a domestic animal back to its job, a creature with which you have so little in common that you do not even punish it. The most painful part of the beatings is the insult which they imply.”
