Like every other normal day, around eight o’clock Beowulf walked the streets of New York to his job as a bellhop at the Jared’s headquarters. Here Beowulf stands outside in his lovely grey suit through the heat and snow to open doors and assist people if they need so. About nine o’clock the president of Jared has a little chat with Beowulf the door-opener before heading up to her office. Although she lives in the twenty-first century, she has always even as a little girl had a fascination with the ages of the kings, queens and knights; therefore, she loves to be known as Queen Cay.
“Hello there Queen Cay, let me get the door for you.” Beowulf said.
“Why thank you kind sir, you are one of the few people I know that still keeps chivalry alive these days.” The gem-owner told Beowulf.
As the Queen comes into her office she always checks her safe for her very rare, precious gems called chivalry; these gems symbolizes the only part of chivalry that is still alive in today’s society. Cay holds these gems close to her heart; once they break Chivalry is dead. She kissed the gems before she placed them back into the safe again before leaving to go out to lunch.
Coming back from lunch on her walk Queen Cay accidently ran into a man on the streets in all black.
“Sorry sir, I did not see you there.”
“Ha, chivalry is dead, don’t bother. No one ever sees me anyways.” He rudely remarked.
Back in her office she noticed things were moved around, but she thought nothing of this, that it must have just been the cleaning crew. But for the next few days these same events continued. Three days later, as Cay came into her room, things weren’t just moved around but thrown everywhere; quickly she hurried to her secret safe where she found the outside of it scratched and vandalized. Again she just cleaned up her things and was thankful that her gems were still there.
The next morning as Queen Cay walked into the building, she told Beowulf of what had happened with the rude man, her office and of the things being destroyed.
“If anything happens again, don’t worry I will help you find the culprit.” Beowulf the door-holder told Queen Cay.
When Queen Cay reached her office the door was already opened rushing in to her safe she noticed one of the chivalry gems was gone. The culprit did not realize that behind the one gem was a picture of the back of the safe where behind that the other gem lye. Immediately she ran to her desk to push that little red button underneath to set the alarm off for code red. Running into the room Beowulf the gem-protector came to the aid of Queen Cay. Out of breathe and crying Cay managed to say:
“Someone has taken one of the precious chivalry gems; someone officially wants chivalry dead.”
“Don’t worry Queen, I will find the culprit and defeat them; they don’t understand the importance of Chivalry to us here at Jared’s.” Beowulf promised Queen Cay.
Beowulf, the stealthy gem-protector secretly hid out in Queen Cay’s office over night to see if the culprit would come back again to look for more of the precious gems. Around nine o’clock the next day Queen Cay arrived at the office, to find Beowulf a sleep behind her desk. As she shook him to wake up, he was startled and jumped up ready to fight as if someone was attacking him. He soon saw it was just Queen Cay, and explained how he was trying to help see if the culprit would come back, he didn’t. Again after work Beowulf still dressed in his grey suit stayed as a look out over night for Queen Cay. This night the culprit was back.
From head to toe the culprit was in all black, you couldn’t seem him in Queen Cay’s office with the lights off, he blended in with the wall. His shirt was skin tight and you could see his mussels through the shirt almost. He had a black hat on and what also looked like a ski mask. Oddly though his pants were very baggy, and what looked like a shoe lace used as a belt was halfway on the floor dragging behind him. Beowulf watched through the doors window as the gem-prowler picked the lock to the door and walked swiftly across the room to where the safe was. Now with his back to the gem-protector, Beowulf could see in the culprit’s back pocket was the chivalry gem that he took from the night before last. As the culprit reached out to open the safe again, Beowulf called out:
“Halt! What do they call you, jewel-theft?”
Unafraid to announce his name he said: “They call me Grendal.”
“Why are you here? Is it to take the other precious jewel?”
“I believe chivalry should once and for all die! There is no need for it now, it does nothing for people.”
While stating his reasons, Grendal pulled the antique sword Queen Cay kept on the wall off and pointed it at Beowulf as if he wanted to have a duel. Beowulf still true to the idea of chivalry let Grendal take the first move. Grendal, the mussel-monster swung with all his might straight down; he hit the right shoulder of the great grey-knight, Beowulf.
“Ha Ha Ha, I was ready for a fight so I put the antique armor Queen Cay has from an old knight. Your sword can not hurt me.” The grey-knight told Grendal.
Lashing out, Grendal went crazy, and as Beowulf saw it he went on a crazy rage, destroying everything possible in his sight. At one point he took the gem out of his back pocket.
“You will see what will happen to chivalry now.” Grendal screamed.
He turned around to place the gem on the table to break it and to end chivalry. While Grendal back was to the grey knight to destroy the gem; Beowulf saw his moment to attack. The shoe lace holding up the culprits pants at one point in time had halfway untied and was halfway on the floor wrapped around his legs. Beowulf quickly stomped on this Grendal fell on his stomach and the gem flew across the room behind Queen Cay’s desk. Quickly Beowulf jumped on top of the gem-theft and tied him up with his once belt. The gem-protector ran over to Queen Cay’s desk to retrieve the gem and to call the police. The grey knight hit the little red button under the Queen’s desk to set of code red. By setting this off the police are called. Beowulf was ready to get rid of the mussel-monster.
Once the police arrived Beowulf told them of what happened and how Queen Cay was on her way over now. As the police picked up Grendal to take him away, Cay finally arrived.
“Don’t worry I will be back to take the chivalry gems, and to destroy chivalry once and for all.” Grendal shouted at them as he was taken away.
After the mess of the fight, Beowulf helped Queen Cay clean her office as he told her of his knightly actions. As a reward she decided to give one of the chivalry gems to Beowulf and told him of the fake picture in the safe where the other gem leys behind. She called him, her own knight in shiny armor, one that still believes in chivalry like her. The grey knight replied with:
“While I’m around Chivalry will never die.”
