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.

“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.
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.
1375-1400. This story includes many aspects of magic and mystery. Sir Gawain is a Knight from King Author’s court. While at a feast, a mysterious huge man wearing all green, including his skin and horse which were green also, challenged King Author. Sir Gawain steps in his place and accepts the challenge. The Green Knight purposed that he can have one blow, but the Green Knight would return the favor in the year to come. Gawain used his one blow, and chopped off The Green Knight’s head. To their surprise, The Green Knight picked up his head, and spoke. “For that scalp and skull now swung from his fist; to the noblest at the table he turned to face and it opened its eyelids, stared straight ahead and spoke this speech,-“(Sir Gawain and The Green Knight ln.444-447). He said Sir Gawain would have to come find him in a year, or be claimed a coward forever. Not only would Sir Gawain have to face a magical immortal man, but he would have to go on a mysterious journey to find him. On his trip Gawain is tiered and lost, but starts to see a shimmering castle that is hidden by magic. “He stopped and stared at one side of that stronghold as it sparkled and shone within shimmering oaks,-“(Sir Gawain and The Green Knight ln.771-772). He looks for refuge in this castle when he runs into the Queen of the castle, who is later revealed to be Morgana the witch, King Author’s sister. She used her magic to disguise herself. She gave him a magical belt that would protect him from harm. “For the body which is bound within this green belt, as long as it is buckled robustly about him, will be safe against anyone who seeks to strike him, and all the slyness on earth wouldn’t see him slain.”(Sir Gawain and The Green Knight ln. 1851-1854). When Sir Gawain finally found The Green Knight, the belt protected him from the killing blow. Throughout this entire story, Sir Gawain meets mysterious characters, and is involved in a lot of magical
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.
A witch soon arrives in the castle that reads palms and tells James he would betray his fiancée on their wedding day. He doesn’t listen and the wedding continues. When he is about to put the ring on her finger, the sylphide appears and snatches the ring away from him. She soon runs off into the forest and James chases after her, leaving his fiancée at the altar.
He doesn't know how to grapple with the dragon, like he did with Grendel, so he will use a sword and shield. He tells his men that the outcome will be “with us at the wall as fate allots, the ruler of every man.” (59)
“When Tristram finally catches up with the knight, ‘all in whyght, and the coverde shylde’ (2.568), they fight for four hours before Tristram discovers that his mysterious opponent is Sir Lancelot, the man he has been seeking, the world’s greatest knight and Malory’s model of knighthood.” (82) (It represents Tristram’s shock to find Lancelot had committed the wicked act.)
All around in a great circle lay warriors sleeping, each of them clad in old armour and with a sword by his side; and upon a couch in the midst who lay a king who wore a golden crown and held in his hand a shining sword with a jewelled cross-hilt, while at his feet lay great heaps of gold and silver. (p.329).
Mysterious and misunderstood dragons are, thought to be ferocious beasts of destruction and chaos. One does not fully understand the ways of a dragon until one has stared into the eyes and peered into the soul of such a beast. In the tall tales dragons are drawn as monsters with terrible claws and gnashing teeth knights must face in order to prove their valiance and bravery. The inferno that escapes the depth of the dragon through the fiery throat incinerates knights and leaves only the shadow as a reminder of a great defeat; while as the dragon’s claws, teeth, and fiery breath may be the key to survival of these mystical creatures.

Now, he has to go. As if to make it okay in someway, he says, ""I'm like my father. The bastard son of a bastard! See how he grins? And he's been absent going on sixteen years!"
showing that Beowulf is inhuman and attacks her, ending the dreadful monsters life. This sword
As an eagle, when from his lofty flight he sees a serpent basking in the sun, pounces upon him and seizes him by the neck to prevent him from turning his head round and using his fangs, so the youth darted down upon the back of the monster and plunged his sword into its shoulder. Irritated by the wound, the monster raised himself into the air, then plunged into the depth; then, like a wild boar surrounded by a pack of barking dogs, turned swiftly from side to side, while the youth eluded its attacks by means of his wings. Wherever he can find a passage for his sword between the scales he makes a wound, piercing now the side, now the flank, as it slopes towards the tail. The brute spouts from his nostrils water mixed with blood,. The wings of the hero are wet with it, and he dares no longer to trust to them. Alighting on a rock which rose above the waves, and holding on by a projecting fragment, as the monster floated near he gave him a death stroke. The people who had gathered on the shore shouted so that the hills re echoed the sound. The parents, transported with joy, embraced their future son-in-law, calling him their deliverer and the savior of their house, and Andromeda, both cause and reward of the contest, descended from the
"....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.

However, Beowulf runs into complications with this beast, “the iron Shield, and for a time it held, protected Beowulf as he’d planned; then it began to melt.
