Herot was a throne room and also a meadhall,
Meant to be an example of brotherhood to us all.
But a demon got sick of the songs of merry men,
Having to listen to tales of courage again and again.
So he came into Herot at night and made many men dead.
Taking some back to his lair, on which he fed.
The exile of Cain sprang up monsters, hundreds at least,
And one of the most powerful was this beast.
King Hrothgar could do nothing but fall into woe,
Every day his power grew weaker, while the monsters power would grow.
This monster could kill a man while he sat in his seat.
Who was this demon that was slain by a geat?
