Beowulf and Brecca's Swimming Match

Being the strongest and greatest of the Geats isn't an easy task, but I have achieved it thus far. That being said, I have not won everything.

A childhood friend of mine, Breca, challenged me to a swimming match. The match was to last five night and six days across the ocean. Little did they know, the challenges of this feat ventured far past just swimming across the ocean.

It was said that I left him on his own, but that most certainly was not the case. On the third day, a violent storm started to rage. The heavy flow of the currents spept Breca from my side. I searched and searched for him, but he was no where to be found. The vastness of the ocean had us separated for good.

Not too long after losing Breca, I had a big problem of my own. A large group of sea monsters attacked me! I was all on my own against nine vicious sea monsters. After fighting with all of my heart, I won the battle. But I ultimately lost the match.

Breca had washed up on his home shore before me. Everyone welcomed him with cheer and granted him with the victory.
